Seriously these days we hear in Egypt strange stuff, it became a daily routine and in the end you will wonder what happened to this country and its people !!??
Do you remember the Maadi serial killer ?? The man who killed nobody but got the name of a serial killer for attacking the butts of girls in Maadi ,the man that till now the police could not catch and suddenly the media forgot him and he became a folk myth proving that the whole thing could be a government fabrication , a public stunt to keep the people from following serious stuff
well now we had the Maadi Crocodile !!
Suddenly last month we heard that there is a Nile Crocodile on loose Swimming in the Nile terrifying the Nile fishermen !! Do not ask from where this crocodile suddenly appeared , already I know there are crocodiles in Lake Nasser which are really terrifying the fishermen who got bored from asking the government's help , but how on earth the Crocodile will swim all that way including crossing the Aswan high Dam to get to the Maadi Area !!
The problem is that it did not stop at here , no the government was serious to get this crocodile ,they got some hunters from the Zoo to catch that menace on loose
Ironically we had our share from the stupid ministers' statements, this time it is the Minister of environment
"There is no danger from the Nile Crocodile , it is peaceful friendly animal !!??"
Friendly Peaceful animal !!?? what is next "Fisherman's best friend" , I am sorry but this is a crocodile , a gator , come for God Sake look to its teeth in its wikipage !!?
Anyhow suddenly this mammal nightmare suddenly disappeared and people again began to believe it is a public stunt , seriously it could be real one , why not !!?? anyhow good luck to those hunters
Ok we will leave this dangerous mammal and go for the ship of the desert aka The Camel
Egyptians woke up last week on a very strange incident , a Camel in Giza Zoo was found killed , it was slayed at night with parts of its body were missing
and you can imagine the reaction ,first of all the sarcastic reaction that someone was hungry from the guards slayed the camel to eat it
second the official reaction to change the management of the Garden , the management that was appointed from a short period after a huge corruption case in the garden thanks to the Pervious management that stole the second Zoo in the world and made it lose its membership in WAZA "yes ,it is a whole tragedy , this I don't want to speak about it because I love the Giza Zoo , just like any Child in Cairo and Giza this was favorite place ,especially my late Grand dad was a member in its friends society , I know its history , the rare plants in it , the wonderful rocks in it,it is so so sad I don't want to speak seriously about "
Another official reaction was to get more guards
The camel that was slayed was a Moroccan camel from the dromedary Camel family , the male camel came with its mother , who refused to eat because of the sadness for losing its son,they were gift from Morocco and they looked strange
Well it did not pass a lot of time when the Egyptian people opened the morning newspaper to find that the Mama Camel had met the same fate of her son , she also was killed in the same way with missing parts
I guess the missing parts were from the shoulders and the hips , anyhow the police found nothing ,they were dealing with one hell of a criminal who can come at night with keys to kill a huge strong animal like the camel with no noise and then take parts from its body in a process that can take hours then he leaves without a trace
First of all as someone who knows the Zoo very well I will say that he had his car , because he needed a place to put the pieces of the camel after finishing his job to move quickly and use , this means he must at least have a clearance to enter the Zoo or have the keys ,or may be he had associates who waited for him
Anyhow , I believe this is a ritual crime that is related to magic practices , first of the kind of the camel ,Moroccan ,from Morocco ,may be some idiot believes it owns special powers , bla bla bla
This case opened the public eyes on the miserable situation of the Giza Zoo situation
There are very bad rumors I heard about that they want to privatize it and that ...............they want to close it to protect the freaking Israeli Embassy that is in front of it , the Adel Emam Movie "The Embassy in the building" opened their freaking eyes that someone can lunch a missile from the Zoo to blow the freaking Embassy
with all respect I call it freaking because seriously I can't stand closing this Zoo ,really it is just like ...............it is just like every freaking beautiful place in this country is going to be destroy for freaking security , of course they can't say to the public we are going to close because of the Israeli demands "already they asked to buy it " but they can destroy it till one day we will find that they are going to close
We must do something to save it , and here I don't speak as matter of luxury hell , rich kids do not go this Zoo , in fact it is the Zoo of the majority of Egyptian Children who come from all over the republic to visit it

you need to focus when you write and read it twice with a critique before you publish it ( read it and ask yourself " what three things are bad in this post"). Your recent articles became like indian movies, going from topic to topic and from east to west and at the end the reader ask himself " what is the thing she wants to tell us" Unless you are confusing the audient on purpose. Dont over stuff the article with barely related things thinking you are making it rich cause you actually ruin it
ReplyDeleteThanks anonymous about the advice , I just want to tell you that everything I write about it here is related all to Egypt , the EGyptian Chronicles, what is happening in Egypt, the things that happen in the land of the Nile that provokes me to go and open the computer and write about it
ReplyDeletemay be you mean that in the last few days I stop writing political posts , well yes because just like anyone I need to change sometime to refresh my my mind
