ElBaradei To Austrian Die Presse About Fake elections , Peaceful MB and disappointment With Obama

Austrian Die Presse has published recently an interview with Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei “I have to warn you that the Google translation is pathetic”. There is nothing new as Dr. ElBaradei is constant  in what he said since day one that he will not run for presidency in Egypt as long as the elections are not democratic and that he is not looking for presidency but democracy for Egypt. I do not know why Al Masry Al Youm left all the interview and focused on the presidency thing in its headline despite we all know that ElBaradei does not look for the chair and if I may say that gives him more creditability.

Mohamed ElBaradei is defending the Muslim brotherhood , I hope that the MB rethinks about its deals with the regime and stands with that man for the sake of the country for real if they are truly sincere.

For the second time after his interview with the Daily Beast , ElBaradei speaks about the Arabs’ disappoint with Obama , well even Obama’s people are disappointed with him but before your imagination takes you faraway ElBaradei is disappointed with the Palestinian-Israeli talks and how America and Europe are ignoring the lack of human rights in Egypt.

It is expected that Dr. ElBaradei will return after the parliamentary elections in December to Cairo.

Pack Your Bags And Head To Bangladesh Then !!

The government does not want to abide with the administrative court rule to raise the minimum limit of salaries to LE 1200 , the government believes that LE 400 is more then enough as minimum limit of salaries in the country.

The prime minister claims that he can’t raise the minimum limit of salaries without an increase in production otherwise there will be no more job opportunities.

I just want to ask the PM about how the Egyptian citizen will be able to live with LE 400 for God sake !!

I think in business administration we learned that if the worker/employee does not receive an adequate salary that meets his basic needs in life , he will be productive as he should. We are speaking here about basic needs like food for instance , like electricity bill for instance !!

Anyhow if you think that Nazif’s statement is provocative , then wait because believe or not he got a competition in provocative statement this week thanks to what the minister of economic development and “ironically” the head of the national councils of wages Othman Mohamed Othman said on air last Saturday :

We will bring workers from Bangladesh because they are cheaper and they will accept with less than LE 400 as a salary !!

Already this statement with what carries from rudeness and arrogance is insulting to the Bangladeshis. The statement is met with anger online and offline too but no one in this cabinet really cares about what the people think or want as usual.

I wonder if that minister or his PM can live with LE 400 per month , in fact I hope that they try living for one month with LE 400 or even LE 600 and tell  us how they manage to live with that salary in Egypt now for one month.

The Nazif cabinet has nothing to do except to blame the people and so I advise them to pack their bags and to head to Bangladesh !!

By the way according to some news the file of minimum limit of wages is currently at the Presidency office studied by the President so I assume as part of the NDP elections campaign we may find a presidential decree to increase the minimum limit of salaries in Egypt between LE 400 to LE 1000.

Look who Is Back Online .. And Offline Too

Ok today was a busy day for the online media :

1. Original Dostor newspaper is back online again , it is no longer covering the Dostor crisis but rather Egypt’s and World’s news coverage.
2. Ibrahim Eissa is going to write back in Al Dostor in his daily column next Wednesday insh Allah.
3. Al Badil newspaper is back online as online newspaper , the successful leftist newspaper had to be closed last year due to financial problem. It is back online and it is promising as far as I could tell with its interesting reports.
4. According to two sources “ Manshette show and  Sayed Torky” Ibrahim Eissa is going to be the next editor in chief of Nasserist Karama newspaper following the Karama party and that Hamdi Kandeel will be the newspaper CEO , there is no more solid confirmation I am afraid. Already I think Eissa is not in Egypt currently so we can’t be sure. Despite being Nasserite newspaper , this will be a powerful return to Eissa.

There is still hope and the return of the Dostor and Badil online shows  you that the future is for the e-journalism and social media in Egypt.

The Expressive Photos of The Day

I could not keep myself from posting these photos below , they are expressive naturally.
The first one is from Youm 7 coverage from Siyad El-Badawy’s big day yesterday when a group of the fake Dostor journalists went to him a flower bouquet thanking him for the trouble he faced “not the trouble he made”

What is this expressive pose !!?? The little excited girl who has just seen Justin Beiber in person pose !!?
The second one is from today’s issue of Al Shorouk newspaper , the old guard and the neo-guard of the NDP , the most dangerous men in Egypt.

I did not know that they are planning but whenever they win , we will lose for sure.

So El-Badawy Is A Cheater According To El-Fagr Newspaper

Amidst the current Dostor crisis , the position of Adel Hammoda and his weekly newspaper or to be accurate tabloid from Ibrahim Eissa and his newspaper was peculiar.
The newspaper was not pro-Eissa’ Dostor like Sawt Al-Oma, Karama and Al Araby , it was not neutral like Al Shorouk or Al Ahram “yes amazingly Al Ahram coverage was not biased as expected” or it was accused of being biased against Eissa’s Dostor like Al Masry Al Youm or was actually biased like Rosa Al Youssef or Al Osoob.
Ibrahim Eissa and Wael Al Abrashi are known to be from the students of Hammoda during his Rosa Al Youssef’s reign and so I wondered what Hammoda would do to his student during this big professional massacre taking place in front of us. What made it even interesting is that it is well known that Adel Hammoda is from team Safwat Al Sharif aka the old guard in the media. 

Islamic State Of Iraq Mind Your Own Country !!

The Islamic State of Iraq is warning the Egyptian Orthodox Church and is giving it an ultimatum 48 hours to free “the Muslim women” held as a prisoners in the Church’s monastery otherwise they will kill more Iraqi Christians !! The Muslim women they are referring to are Wafaa Constantine and Camilla Shehata !! Yes the Islamic State of Iraq has joined the Egyptian Salafi group in their crusade against the Orthodox Church !!

A bloody Shoe at the Church

What the hell is this !!?? Is not it enough what they have done in their own country ,now they want to transfer it to Egypt !! Why do no they go and fight the occupation forces instead !! This is not an Iraqi resistance , this is an alien terrorist group. Islam is innocent from all this , Iraq is innocent from all this.
I do not fear on my country though because I know there are still sane Egyptians who can and will protect it against any aggression but what I am disturbed that there are lunatics in the country.
Currently the security on Egyptian churches is doubled according to press reports , it is a must even if they are bluffing
Amira Al-Tahawi pointed to interesting details we overlooked in the media coverage. 

• The kidnappers called the Al Baghdadia channel at about  7 PM to declare that they were taking hostages and that they had demands. 
• The first and only demand then was to release Al Qaeda detainees at Iraq and Egypt !!  "Why Egypt in specific when there are Al Qaeda detainees all over the Arab world and why Al Baghdadia TV channel in specific when its HQs studios are in Egypt !!??"
• In 8.30 PM in one of these groups' forums a member claimed that the Islamic state of Iraq meant "our detained sisters at ** Copts with the approval from the Mubarak Pharaoh regime "by the detainees in Egypt. " It is strange that after an hour and half that they changed their demand from Egypt , it was crystal clear that they demanded the Al Qaeda prisoners"
• In 10.30 PM after two hours an alleged recorded audio statement from that group hit the internet group's forum  with a warning to the Egyptian Church "48 hours or we will blow up the rest of the Iraqi Christians !!" 
• The flag of the Islamic state of Iraq was seen at the protest held by the Salafi trend on the 29th of October 2010 . 

Now what makes a group that consider itself as Iraqi interfere in a national matter in another country like that ,  well Egypt has a role in Iraq by the end of day , after all recently Egypt and Iran began to meet at certain points in the country and the Iraqi politicians are coming to Cairo to take the blessing of the major Sunni country. 

By the way why there is not one Iraqi TV channel that mourns the victims of the attack last night except Assyria TV channel , Assyria is Christian channel. I think Iraq has long time to heal its wounds.

Egyptian Rumors : Why Dr. Abdel Ghafar Was Arrested ?

Do you remember the incident of Dr. Tarek Abdel Ghafar , the heart surgeon who found himself in a day and a night accused of running a prostitution ring !!??

Well I heard a rumor circulating between the surgeons and physicians close to him and to the national heart institute saying that besides that he was nominated to become the chairman of the institute there was another thing that made someone very angry from him to the level of destroying his life by all means.

The rumor says that as Dr. Abdel Ghafar refused to accept a defected heart catheters deal by millions of pounds at the national heart institute , We are speaking here about the medical supplies mafia that does not take no for answer supposedly in this rumor and thus honest and respectable Abdel Ghafar was to be destroyed to be an example for anyone else.

This is a rumor I only heard and thought of sharing , I have got no proof on anything

Now a fact the minister of health is investigating the matter and promised the doctor to restore his dignity and his rights.
