The real suitable way to celebrate the battle of Alamein

From couple days the anniversary of the famous battle of Alamein came in its annual timing on the 23rd of October and as usual representatives of Allies and axis countries came along with the veterans and the families of those who died in the battle ,they came to put roses and pray in the commonwealth war cemetery in Alamein .

With my all respect this is not enough , it is not enough at all , the best way to celebrate that great battle and those men who fought and died in it is to look  to the victims of that war and that battle in particular .8

I do not mean the victims of the WWII from more 50 years with my all great respect to the 70 million people who lost their souls , I am talking about the future generations whom after 50 years were and are still going to suffer from that bloody war

Yes I am talking about the Land Mines victims in Egypt specifically the victims of land mines in the western desert , the place of Alamein battle.

Both parties in the war planted thousands even millions of land mines in our desert during the great war after all it is not there land and it did not and it does still cost anything , you can plant a land mine for 100 $ but if you want to demine a land mine from a specific area you have to pay thousand of dollars , the thing that would be very costly to a country like Egypt , not to mention the advance equipments for demining may not be available to us.

For decades now Egypt has paid a lot from these land mines alone and she has paid heavily  till now for decades whether from humanly or economic

Hundred thousands of Egyptians who live in the western desert were either killed or injured badly and suffered till the end of their lives and nobody cared for them ,generations after generations suffered and are still suffering from those hell pieces under their own land

Egypt is losing golden opportunities from investing in the western desert using its resources whether from mines or from oil or even using this land for agriculture , yes already that land can be turned through land reclamation in to a green heaven that can solve us the wheat problem according to many studies , already that desert is lying above huge sources of water

I do not know why those countries whether from the allies or the axis who later became all allies agree to pay couple of millions for the victims of those mines or even they can send us some state of the art devices for demining land mines , they can even lend those devices to us , or even the weakest thing they can do  is to give us those land mines maps , oh yes for sure they are keeping them and already I read that they still got them !! They just can give us even a copy for these maps to our army and they will deal with it

It is not a great thing to leave people still suffer from their war ,they owe it to us it is our country and it is our land

BY the way this year the people in Alamein tried to make a rally to show their suffering in front of the annual guests but of course the security and police made a siege around the people because the way a part of the people huge problem is there is that the region already lacks medical facilities , they have to travel hundreds of kilos to reach for a real hospital :(

I won't speak about the government but I will wonder about the absence of the civil society organizations from human rights organizations , is not this a human rights issue ?? the right to live safely !!?? Where are they ?? It is not less than the torture and freedom of expression cases

The WWII is not finished yet I am afraid , it will be history when there will be no victims because of it and unfortunately people are still losing their lives because of it in my country
