Egyptians have been witnessing a strange wave of crimes in the past two weeks that made us wonder if there was added to the Nile River that would the society even more violent and madder than it is.
Just in the two weeks, We found a man killed on Alexandria’s public beach by a machete as he defended his wife against sexual harassment and the officials are saying that they can’t stop “knives” from entering the beach because people use it to eat watermelon !!
Then we found a father who killed his two toddlers sons in North Delta giving the authorities at least three different insane motives for his inexplicable crime whereas his town people protest for his release saying he is innocent.
We also got that girl who dragged her boyfriend-to-be-fiancé to his own death on the hands of her fugitive father after discovering her old man’s criminal past. The young man’s body was found under the bathroom of the father’s villa in Upscale “Rehab” compound.
That’s the second violent crime committed in the gated community, from several months we found a businessman allegedly killed his family and then himself according to authorities “He shot himself three times in the head !!” in another mysterious murder-suicide that we are not used to for in Egypt.
People are amazed and do not know if the press is enlarging that wave of crime or what but it is scary.
I feel sociologists and criminologists are repeating the old talk of how the society is sick because we do not have family values anymore bringing up that Galal Amin’s classical question “Whatever happened to the Egyptians ?”
You know by checking the history of our true top serial killers like Raya and Sakina as well as the serial killer of Karmooz, they were living in that golden era of social and family values !!
Anyhow I escaped from all that and found solace in the beautiful late August’s full moon.
Late Egyptian Sci-Fi author Ahmed Khaled Tawfik always spoke about the superstition myths of the full moon in Europe, I wonder what he would say if he saw crime page in our newspapers those two weeks !!
He spoke about how full moon always associated with werewolves and vampires in his novels.
I believe if that crime wave continues in Egypt like that we may see werewolves and vampires in the next full moon.
