After the fire

Ok now it passed more than 12 hours in Cairo and some are saying in the news that there is still smoke coming from the Shura Council , my mom opened "Good morning Egypt" earlier and found out that the fire fighters were doing their job all night long , some of them were transferred to the hospital.
Strangely all the Morning news shows are acting as if nothing happened in Egypt with no respect to the importance of the Shura council and the size of the fire !! May be they did not receive the orders yet !!
The newspapers are divided , the major newspapers Al Ahram and Al Akhbar gave the news of the hour its size , of course they are promoting to the official story. Al Gomhouria surprisingly gave it a very small space in the front page , I do not know what edition I have but I know that a fire that started from afternoon in the Parliament or beside should make its way to the front page.
There is nothing in Al Masry Youm either ,yes can you imagine !!??yeah they print earlier but for something like this they should apologize and delay their print
Al Dostor of course today is its weekly edition where they attack Mubarak and son.
Now to the news of the day
El-Badeel newspaper will not be in the newspapers stand today because they banned its print why ??
The leftist newspaper's headlines were going to be :
The fire burned the files of the ferry 98, the Upper Egypt train and the Carcinogenic pesticides !!
Do not forget the fire started at the documents floor , the third floor :(
What the Badeel is trying to say is that the NDP is behind this fire , of course it is too early but on the other size the official media blamed the electricity despite the investigation has not started yet officially !!
Of course if the Badeel does not come today with these headlines that conspiracy theory will be enforced and even will be considered as a fact according to the Egyptian mindset.
For me I think it is strange because since when the NDP and the regime are giving a damn for the Shura Council or even the Parliament !! They do not need to burn the whole building to ensure that these files do not find their way to the light ,they can be stolen or replaced or even damaged !!
Update :
It turned that the second edition of Badeel was going to be the one with the coverage of the fire , the Al Ahram printing house refused to print it because of the coverage , still the Badeel is going to publish the second edition online later today in PDF

  1. I still am wondering what really happened, and if we will ever really know the truth. And more importantly will they take the proper precautions to prevent this from ever happening again.

  2. Saw this on tv...what made me sad was how those firefighters couldn't seem to get enough water pressure. This was 1 nasty fire and I agree with u...it's sad that such a historically significant building has been destroyed.

    I don't think the building was burned to destroy documents. Seriously, there are paper shredders that could do that job without a big flashy fire. Whether it was arson or an electrical fire...people will believe what they want in the end.

  4. @jesszy , I think now they will take their precautions as usual after it was too late , I do not know if we will ever the truth or not ,this is not a straight government unfortunately :(

    @N.American Princess,you are right there is something called a paper shredder plus already all these files are closes and the accused NDP members got away from it !!

    @anonymous , another good point but it will take too much time to understand to it
