Gamal 2.0 Strikes Again

It seems that the NDP policies committee and its secretary believe that fake live meeting between Gamal Mubarak and the NDP’s young generation in the summer was successful that they are going to have another so-called live meeting again on the 25th of October.

On the 25th of October Gamal Mubarak and minister of commerce and industry Rashid Mohamed Rashid are going to meet students leaderships in Egyptian universities “aka the Young NDPian and future foundation members” to discuss the following :

• The reasons of unemployment
• The role of IT in combating unemployment
• How the fresh graduates can have skills that meet with the demands of the market
• How to encourage the students in studying technical education
• Why  do graduates wait to work in public sector instead of the private sector
• The role of media , globalization ..etc in creating new job opportunities !!

In brief he is discussing in a very unrealistic way unemployment and it is clearly from those points mentioned in the website itself that Mr.Mubarak is isolated from the people because he is still asking about the reasons of unemployment and he believes that graduates are still waiting for the public sector job with few hundred pounds per month !!??

This shows why I and other like me “and they are not few” reject him as a president or even as a politician. It is not a bad thing to live in a high standard lifestyle where you never take a public transportation , I have never taken a public transportation bus in my life but I am not isolated from my country or my people like Gamal Mubarak with all due respect and with all the differences between me and him. It amazes me with the kind of information he has access to that he would ask about the reasons of unemployment and how to combat it.

Seriously we speak about Gamal Mubarak is more than succession , it is other thousands things and those points mentioned above which he will discuss shows you a glimpse of why we refuse him.

It is so silly from the NDP to claim that this is an open discussion where as it is prepared from the beginning till the end !!?? It is a closed recorded discussion.

By the way I bet the next natural development for Gamal 2.0 is to appear in Melody Hits in a special show to answer the Egyptian Young generations answers like Barack Obama in 2008 !!

Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden !!

There are calls online and offline that Egyptian female fans should watch the Egypt Vs.Algeria football match from their homes on TV and not in the stadium.
There is a considerable fear that there will be a nasty fight not in the playground but in the fan seats and thus ladies should not be there for fear they will be harmed !!
I wonder if this is going to be applied to young boys too !!
Anyhow this shows you to what level the media escalation between the two countries have reached to over a football match. 
Of course I do not like the comments of the Algerian football fans about Egyptian women , I read some in couple of websites and they made me so sick and angry but I do not and won't generalize because from the other side we got very rude people too.
The game will be in Cairo on the 14th of November 2009 and till then we will watch stupid racist and sad stuff from both sides over a ball kicked by the foot !!

For Me Or For Him !!??

Ladies and Gentlemen ,

May I present to you the next NDPC slogan :

For You !!

Who is exactly “You” ??

Is the party referring to me and you or is the party referring to Gamal Mubarak ??

Talking seriously the NDP must understand that in past 28 years it has not worked for me or you and we know that very well , they know it very well there in the policies committee but they just want to provoke us more and more.

By the way this stupid slogan of their annual circus reminds me so much with Nike’s famous slogan : Just Do it !!

Just DO It Gamal and say you will run for presidency !!

You know I still like the old Egyptian campaign against succession’s slogan ‘Mayehkomsh’ , it was brilliant regardless of the criticism that forced the campaign to cancel it !! From the advertising point of view that slogan summarized the public rejection for Gamal Mubarak with the help of wording; when you read the word itself , you will find literally “He Does not Rule” in Egyptian dialect where as in our folkloric diction it is a slur vulgar women used to say it to assure that they do not approve on whatever they do not like. It is more associated in the Egyptian mind by the slur and if you ask me Gamal Mubarak and NDP deserve this slur ; because enough is enough !!

Breaking News : People in Sinai Can Join The Army and Police

I do not know if I should be happy to hear this new or to be sad and angry for this late decision.

President Mubarak has issued a presidential decree allowing the people in Sinai to join the arm forces and police !!

It is sad thing to know that people of Sinai as Egyptians were not allowed to protect their country , their land after all those years since the return of Sinai !! The people in Sinai are Egyptian citizens and according to the constitution they have the same rights and duties. I do not use the words “The people of Sinai” because they are in the end Egyptians regardless of their ethnic background.

I do not doubt that this decree is a political one in order to please and calm down the people in Sinai who could not take any more of the constant police ill treatment  we suffer from in the Nile Valley.

I really hope that this decree will be more than ink on paper, I hope it will be implemented.

I hope the next presidential decree will be the right of land ownership. Citizenship for all. You do not ask the people to do duties if you do not give them their basic rights.

This Is An Honor Crime Not A Sectarian Crime

From couple of days ago in Upper Egypt , in Asuit a Muslim man shot  two Christians killing one of them , of course some news agencies and websites portrayed it as a sectarian crime where as it is an honor crime that could happen anywhere in a society like the society in upper Egypt.

It turned out that the son’s of the victim raped the daughter of the murderer and filmed the raped ; after that he distributed the film through Bluetooth in the village , simply he asked for that to happen , I do not know what was in his sick mind but the reaction of the father was an expected natural reaction of an Upper Egyptian where honor is above all.

I do not have to swear that these murders would happen either ways if that boy were Muslim or that father were Christian. This is Upper Egypt where Muslim families kill each other and Christian families kill each other in some stupid tribal wars for decades where police, law, religion institutions can’t stop them.

It will be turned in to a sectarian crime if it is enlarged more and more out of its context.

Has Foot And Mouth Disease Spread That Much ??

It seems that foot and mouth disease has spread too much in Egypt that now  the OIE has banned the importation of Egyptian living cattle worldwide temporarily as I have heard today. I tried to search in the official website of OIE and all I found is that We have  a foot and mouth disease problem  in 5 governorates that have not been resolved up till now. I could not find anything in the organization website regarding the importation.
Despite the constant denials of ministry of Agriculture and animal wealth , we have foot and mouth disease in the country this year according to OIE  and already in the past months some countries like Philippines and UAE banned the import of dairy , meat products and living cattle because of the recommendations of the international organization !!
May be the government does not want to scare people , already it is enough what we have from swine flu, garbage, Naqab and Mortada Vs. Shobeir !! Still we should know the truth.
