It seems that our prime minister Dr. Nazif is the prime of another Egypt in another Africa in another world you know in those parallel universes we read about them in Sci-Fi novels . Our dear Prime minister says there is no conflict with the rest of indigo countries !!! Our dear African countries that share with us river Nile are extremely angry to the level that they will go to the international court of justice to file a complain against Egypt and Nazif says everything is fine !!
Our national security is threatened and the man thinks that we are idiots enough to believe him !!!
Mohamed Ali Pasha and his family understood the importance of the Nile to Egypt and the fact that it is from our national security to protect its sources and this is why Mohamed Ali expanded South in his empire.
President Nasser despite his huge fault to let Sudan in 1954 ,was sure to have excellent relations with the African countries especially the indigo countries to protect our Nile share taken in consideration that it was in his time we started to build our high dam.
President Sadat despite being the man who brought peace to the Mideast did not hesitate to threaten to use force represented in our air forces if anyone is going to mess out with our share from the Nile river.
Mubarak in 28 years with my all respect did has not used diplomacy nor force to protect our most precious source and his prime minister comes and says to us there is no conflict with the rest of indigo countries !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ethiopia is building a dam on the Nile and he is saying everything is fine !!
Our agricultural wealth is already suffering for God Sake :(
When I first came to Egypt, I had no idea how important the Nile was to the Egyptian people. After all, here is the world's longest river and it splits Um ad-Dunya in half, provides nourishment, transportation, and an aesthetic backdrop for those long walks along the Corniche. It upsets me though, when I see people throwing their sweet wrappers and cola cans in...grrrr
ReplyDeleteIf you ever have the chance, you should visit Gazeerat ad-Dahab, just before the 'Maadi' bridge. It's picturesque in a quaint sort of way, there's a church next to a mosque, and if you are there at night, the hustle and bustle of Cairo seems like a million miles away; all you can hear is the rustle of the reeds and lapping of the water...some lucky family has a large villa at one end, but mostly only working class people live there. How lucky they are!
Speaking of the rest of Africa, I have seen barely any mention of the crisis in Darfur in your blog or in the Arab media. I guess that as long as the atrocities are committed by Arabs, that is ok. The Arab/Israeli conflict and alleged atrocities committed by the Israelis pales by comparison.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous #2, enough of the racist anti-Arab rants on Zei's blog. You are using the same tactic as your fellow Zionists, by playing the "crisis in Darfur" card you are trying to justify the atrocities perpetuated by your people against the Palestinians. Zei is worried about the atrocities committed inside and around the borders of her own country. How about you try that first before you speak of Africa!
