Porto Aswan : The Regime’s Response To Nubian Demands !!

I found the news circulating around  “Porto Aswan” very interesting if we consider the timing, coming right after the historical visit of Gamal Mubarak to Nuba where he advised the people there “Not to live in the past” hinting out that they won’t return to the land they want to return to for years
Porto Aswan” is said to be a huge touristic project planned in Aswan by tourism tycoon Mansour Amer to join his “Porto World” empire in Egypt and in the Arab world “He is building one in Syria”. I do not need to elaborate how the historical , social and environmental nature of Aswan can’t have such huge touristic project.
The news is causing huge anger in Egypt especially in Aswan , the people there are extremely angry and I will summarize their anger in what Mohamed Mounir has said :
“I pull the rocks of the great pyramid if the government approves that project”
It is not only them but anyone who loves this country will refuse this project which unfortunately is not a rumor because this project seemed to have the approval of the governor since last July 2009. There was earlier news that supreme council of antiquity “headed by Zahi Hawses” has rejected the project but then yesterday we found out the council will review the project after the Eid !!!!
Amar is a member in the NDP and it seems Mounir will have to pull the rocks of the great pyramids !!

  1. This is appalling. In the meantime Israel is building more settlements on palestinian land, and look at what some Egyptians are doing to their own people! I hope that Porto Aswan turns into Porto Gohanam el 7amra wa be2s al maseer!

  2. Maybe Rupert Murdoch will buy it with al Waleed as his partner.

    Everything is for sale in your country. Wait til they put the sphinx and pyramids up for sale.

  3. Le peuple nubien a déjà souffert avec le grand barrage. Le projet de Porto-Assouan est une honte. La population d'Assouan le refuse. Quand des incultes, parce qu'ils ont de l'argent, cesseront-ils de nuire? Il faut que l'UNESCO protège ce patrimoine mondial qu'est Assouan avec les isles d'Eléphantine, de Séhel, Philae et Bigeh, avec les tombes des Nobles d'Elephantine, le Mausolée de l'Aga Khan, le monastère de St Siméon, les carrières d'obélisques, le Musée nubien, l'Old Cataract, l'isle Kitchener, la ville et les souks.

    Il faut que le peuple nubien choisissent leur destin mais l'Egypte officiel ne les traitent pas comme des etres humains ou des citoyens respettes. Heuresement leurs cousins en face au Soudan les donnent un bon exemple de comment il faut vivre en dignite.
