I do not think that we had Ramadan like the one we are having before considering the crises we have :
- A Wheat crisis : Russia got fires forcing it to ban the export of grains , Egypt will suffer wheat shortage in couple of months.
- An energy crisis : Constant blackouts across the country due to the shortage of gas regardless of what the minister of electricity and energy claims.
- A Water crisis :Water supply is cut across the country for hours for no specific reasons.
- A security crisis : Our artistic treasures are not properly preserved , a $ 100 million Van Gogh painting was stolen from Mahmoud Khalil museum.
If these crises can’t down a government , I do not know what will !!
You must know that there are certain areas in Cairo and Giza that suffer from constant blackouts and water cuts for years on a daily basis and they do not complain anymore because they got tired , only now people began to open their mouths when the blackout and water cuts reached to higher classes areas like New Cairo and 6th of October not to mention it is Ramadan in August !!
What do you expect if Cairo's infrastructure was designed to accommodate 2 million and not 8.5 million.
ReplyDeleteForty five years ago, the government should have provided tax incentives and subsidies to business stating up in cities other than Cairo.
Planning, planning, planning or should I say lack of.
Let us not forget our pollution crisis!
