The presidential elections committee “PEC” has announced that Mohamed Morsi  is the 5th President of Arab republic of Egypt by  of the 51.54% votes.

Thousands are celebrating in Tahrir square currently. I see floods of the Egyptian flags. The protesters say  "We will not leave , the military leave"
On the other hand the supporters of Shafik are crying in front of his Presidential campaign HQ cursing Tantawy and Mubarak and chanting "Down with the military rule"

I am happy that Ahmed Shafik has lost and I am happy that after #Jan25 we got the first civilian , a university professor to rule Egypt. Mursi is the fifth President of the Arab Republic of Egypt and the 16th ruler of Egypt since 1805.He is the second political prisoner after Sadat to become the president of Egypt.
Egypt's new Era from huffington Post , yes the dancing
pose
I am happy that I will be an opponent to the Muslim brotherhood.

I think now I would say with all confidence that the Muslim brotherhood reached to a deal with SCAF.
@06:08 PM
Morsi has resigned from the Muslim brotherhood and Freedom and Justice Party , he is expected to address the Egyptian people shortly.
Mohamed Morsi is going to address the Egyptian people shortly on the Egyptian state TV that started to kiss his ass.
Here are some nice tweets from around twitter showing different reactions

Now there are hundreds of thousands in Tahrir square celebrating Mursi's victory.
Tahrir this afternoon "Reuters"
On the other hand the supporters of Shafik are more than hysterical to the level that they are cursing Tantawy and the Egyptian army after praising the army last night !! It is an irony when Shafik's supporters are now chanting "Down with the military rule" and Tantawy sold the country to the Palestinians !!

Morsi’s First Presidential Speech

And Mohamed Morsi has addressed the Egyptian people for the first time tonight as a president.
Mohamed Morsi’s first presidential speech
In classical Arabic Morsi started his speech with verses of Holy Quran with many examples and styles taken from Islamic heritage especially the famous Omar Ibn El Khatab’s speeches. He saluted the martyrs as well the army , the police , the judiciary and for the first time in the history of Presidential speeches in Egypt : The Egyptian intelligence.
He also made sure to make it clear that Egypt respects all the treaties it signed aka Peace treaty with Israel.
I am sorry if I missed other points in the speech but honestly I am so tired.
Personally I believe the greatest role Morsi is playing currently is putting an end to the Presidential cult in the land of the Pharaoh.
This speech is not recorded in the Egyptian TV building aka Maspero in Downtown Cairo for reasons related to security as far as I understand. It is the first Egyptian Presidential speech to be recorded at the new TV studios in Moktam which is secured by the army.
Commander of presidential guards salutes President Morsi
After the speech Morsi returned to his home , his apartment in New Cairo which is secured currently by the Presidential guard.
Tomorrow we will  know more about the VPs and the future of the new cabinet.
US President Obama has already called Morsi from short time ago according to the US embassy in Cairo.
Now thanks to tweep Hany Fakhry we got the front pages of Monday's newspapers

Mohamed Morsi has not spent one single night in the Presidential palace and yet the Egyptian youth began to watch him very very carefully as a civil servant and not as a pharaoh.

Now we got the famous : Morsi Meter Website

This website simply lists Morsi’s first one hundred days 64 promises regarding security , bread, traffic, fuel crisis and cleanness and will watch out the progress of Morsi regarding these promises day by day.

After 100 day we will see what he will achieve and we will hold him accountable.

Al Shorouk newspaper is calling its readers online to write letters to the new president with their needs , wants and hopes.

Another Big busy Day For the new President and For Egyptians as well

Ok I can’t keep the news , I feel so tired.
You must know that there are on going negotiations between SCAF and MB from one side and MB and political powers from another side and ElBaradei is heading these negotiations.
Most speculations speak about national coalition government headed by Non MB politician where important ministries “Interior, foreign affairs and Justice” will be appointed by SCAF as well the intelligence..etc.
There are two liberal names leaked to head the future cabinet are ElBaradei and Ziyad Bahaa El Din of Egyptian Social Democratic Party . Personally I wish the next PM will be ElBaradei
Of course minister of defense is appointed by SCAF according to the Constitutional Declaration annex”
The Vice president position is expected to be occupied by Non MB politicians as well. Muslim brotherhood websites say Abdel Moneim Abu El Fotouh accepted the position of VP yet according to my sources I know that he suggested Al Wasat Party leader Abu Ela Mady.
Now today was extremely busy one for the new elected president.
He meant to the Presidential Palace in Heliopolis for the first time where he sat at the Presidential office.
The new president in his office 
Then he met former PM Ganzoury whose cabinet resigned earlier today before heading to the ministry of defense where he met SCAF members. “Do not ask me why they go and meet him please because I am really really tired”
With SCAF members
Now these photos are from the backstage of his speech yesterday. He spoke from the Egyptian State TV studios in Mokktam area not from Maspero from security reasons which I totally understand.

We do not know if Morsi is going to swear in front of the Parliament or not or if he is going to swear in front of the constitutional court or not.

The “@Military_Secret” account is believed to be an account following the army or at least to be administrated by someone who is believed to a military despite I got a tip that he is not a military at all !!

Now after praising SCAF for months , we find him today attacking Tantawy and threatening that there will be a coup soon !!

At the same time Tawfik Okasha describes Tantawy as Abdel Hakim Amar and the rest of the Mubarak's dirty regime media is claiming that Shafik won but the results of presidential elections were changed at the last moment to save Egypt from civil and the wrath of the States !!!

Some say that this is a war between intelligence and army while others say it is the SCAF vs. MB.
I do not know what is but I am not comfortable for real.

According to El Wifaq Sudanese newspaper those protesting against the regime are actually gays and whores supported by foreign embassies in Khartoum.
Al Wifaq : Gars and whores protest in Khartoum
This reminds me so much with Mubarak’s propaganda in even much worse way.
The protests in Sudan have not stopped so is the witch hunt against activists , students , protesters and politicians.Here is an interactive map showing the progress of protests in Sudan thanks to Sudan Change Now.

The protests did not stop despite the penalty of protesting against the ruler is flogging !!!
Oh yes flogging , here is a video filmed in Aliphon area where a protester is being flogging for protesting against the regime and unfortunately the public is cheering for this punishment.
Now my dear friend Salma El Wardany has been deported from Sudan after refusing to Stay there without covering the protests. She arrived in Cairo at 9 PM after spending hours in Khartoum airport accompanied by Sudanese security officers and officials from the Egyptian embassy.
The security officials in Khartoum made it clear to my friend Salma , either staying in Sudan but ignoring the protests or leave the country as soon as possible. Salma respected her job and decided to leave. It was not that nice day for El Wardany
I am proud of Salma’s stand and more proud that I know her personally.
By the way I have not forgotten tweep Usama "@Simsmit" or other Sudanese activists.

#Syria Revolts : Why to Target Children !? “Graphic +18”

I do not understand or want to understand actually why dictatorships and criminal regimes target children and babies in their wars. I do not understand why El Assad regime continues in killing children and babies when it seems that we are close from huge intervention in Syria as far as I could tell from the developments in the area.
Yesterday there was another horrific massacre in Al Habeet village in Idlib , the helicopters of El Assad raided the area there killing and injured tens of civilians including many children as you will see in the horrible photos and videos posted after the break.
El Habeet : During the bombing of the village
I do not know what to say.
El Habeet : Injured children “+18”
El Habeet : The dead bodies of children in El Habeet



Already it is not the first time I see videos from Syria showing children and babies killed but may be because I ignored on propose watching these videos recently in order to restore part of my humanity. From watching too many horrific videos from Syria , I felt recently that I did  not feel shocked anymore , it became a norm to the level that I continued living my life normally to the level I did not feel angry anymore thus I had to stop.
After the raid.
El Habeet : After the raid
It is worth to mention that there are currently military operations for the Free Syrian Army “FSA” in Idlib , in other areas. I think El Assad troops chose El Habeet to attack the families of the FSA fighters , I do not have any other explanation except this.
Now unfortunately I have to end this post by another sad news ; a seven years old Egyptian Syrian Islam Mohamed was killed in Daraa.

The President in Tahrir

Today several political groups and parties are holding another protest in Tahrir square, it is not a big thing anymore to have a protest in Tahrir square but it is a big thing when we find an elected president in Tahrir square !!
President Mohamed Morsi is going to Tahrir square and to address the people there at 6 PM today. The Muslim brotherhood is already setting up a very big stage for the president.
Already the Republican guards are in the charge of that stage , I know that Tahrir square is their worst nightmare when it comes to the president's safety when I think about it !!
The stage by Lina Al Wardani from Tahrir square 
Ironically people thought that Morsi will come to Tahrir square earlier today but instead he went to pray to Al Azhar Mosque.


Morsi had his own hero reception in Al Azhar mosque , it has been ages since a president would come to Al Azhar and pray among people in this way.
Morsi will officially swear in to office tomorrow in front of the Supreme constitutional court despite the revolutionaries wanted him to swear in front of the parliament so he would not recognize the Constitutional declaration annex issued by SCAF from two weeks ago that limits the president’s power.
Some want Morsi to swear at Tahrir square , some predict that he will do so to calm down the Muslim brotherhood and revolutionary youth.
By the way today’s protest in Tahrir square is called “Handing over Power” , its main goals is to bring down the constitutional declaration annex and restoring back the parliament.

@5:29 PM 

The Republican Guard is in control of the stage as well Mohamed Mahmoud street where he will come from.
Mohamed Mahmoud street by Jonathan Rashad 
It is big irony that made many revolutionary protesters angry from the scene as they remember on how Republican Guards let the thugs in to Tahrir square during the battle of the camel and how the MB let the protesters down in Mohamed Mahmoud street clashes.
President Morsi is supposed to address the Egyptian people from Tahrir square at 6 PM . He is already staying at the ministry of interior building.
He is expected to swear in front of the public in Tahrir square.

Abu William is an old man who lives in Homs. From his name you will know that he is a Christian. Abu William’s house was an icon in Homs on how he refused to his house and city after they have been shelled. From what I understood Abu William lives in the Christian populated neighborhood that was shelled and most of the people had to leave except very few including him.
He was another icon of resistance in the city with his white hair and his old age.
Abu William from his balcony 
Abu William was arrested yesterday by El Assad forces after refusing to leave his house and for speaking to the citizen journalists online.
Abu William : We will stand till death

Orient TV : Abu William speaks to Orient TV channel
Now after his arrest , his balcony is empty. Hopefully he will be released soon along with thousands of Syrians across the country.

By the way on June 28th ,2012 a terrible massacre happened in the Krak Des Chevaliers area in Homs where 6 elderly of one family were killed by El Assad forces according to the one who was recording the video.It is terrible video , the victims May Allah bless their souls were shot in their heads !!!

President Morsi speaks in Tahrir

And not only Morsi came before 6 PM , he gave a speech that made some Egyptians cry and other Egyptians angry as well in a historical scene my generation as well millions of Egyptians will not forget at all.
The president of Egypt goes to the stage to address hundreds of thousands in the square , showing the world that he does not fear death.
Here is the full of speech that continued for more than 30 minutes.
The speech of Mohamed Morsi
Here is the Arab script of the speech.
I do not know what the rule of Egypt does to men but I know Mohamed Morsi in Tahrir on 29 June 2012 was different than Mohamed Morsi on 29 May 2012 without doubt.  The speech reached out to millions of Egyptians.
Of course the climax of the speech was when Mohamed Morsi swore in front of not only hundreds of thousands in Tahrir square but also millions of viewers in Egypt as well the Arab world. Also how he mentioned that he stands with the legitimacy of the public was very clever move along with the mentions of the military trials prisoners and detainees.
I did not like how he mentioned in directly the history and the struggle of the Muslim brotherhood since the 1940s till the 1960s and “What you know about the 1960s !!” as he said.
I did not like how he ended his speech by mentioning the name of Omar Abdel Rahman , already all international news agencies left his speech and focused only on the mentions of the famous Blind Sheikh.
Other than that , the speech was good despite I believe he should focus on regaining the trust of the other 48% that did not vote for him. He is not the Tahrir square president.
I love how the republican guards and the presidency’s security were confused by the new president and his constant sudden moves in front of hundreds of thousands
We are emotional people thus for hours I found people from family and friends from those who did not elect him , suddenly jumped in to Morsi’s wagon and decided to give this sincere , kind and honest man who does not like security and ready to ready to die in the square. Some friends told me that their parents cried while my aunt that supported Shafik told that she feels that he is honest man.
His popularity increased without doubt  after the speech , I will repeat this before as Egyptians are looking for a leader , Mubarak was not one.
The reactions of those Egyptians are not different from the reactions of the Arabs who watched the speech anxiously and admirably watching a new breed of presidents from Cairo , the heart of the Arab world.
Here is a collection of photos taken by my friend Mahmoud Gamal El Din from that big day.
Mursi in Tahrir by Mahmoud Gamal El Din
Tomorrow Morsi will officially swear in front of the constitutional court and later he will address the public again at Cairo University.

And president Mohamed Morsi swore in to office in front of the Supreme constitutional court "SCC" earlier this morning at the Court's HQ in Maadi. Ironically the SCC is just steps away from Maadi military hospital where the Ousted/former president and currently Prisoner Mohamed Hosni Mubarak is being treated from something God only knows what is.
Mohamed Morsi sitting among the judges of the SCC
Morsi seemed uninterested in the ceremony , already the relation between the MB and SCC is not good starting from the attempts of the MB to pass a law that would annul It and then the shocking SCC's rule to dissolve the People's assembly. Another reason why Morsi seemed to be uninterested is with that oath in front of SCC is that now he officially recognizes the constitutional declaration annex issued by SCAF from two weeks ago that would limit his powers.

President Morsi swears in to office
Personally I believe that there is a deal between SCAF and MB where the later would accept the annex.Here is  Morsi swearing in video.



Anyhow now Mohamed Morsi El Ayat is the 5th president of Egypt who has just inaugratared the second republic era in Egypt where a civilian is democratically elected and becomes a president in the land of the pharaohs.
After taking the oath at the SCC , he will head right now to Cairo University where he will address the members of the Parliament and the public in another ceremony attended by head of SCAF Tantawy that has not been received warmly by the students of CU
Now president Morsi starts his 4 years term. We accomplish a lot so far and yet there is more to achieve.

@1:45 PM

The president has arrived at Cairo university where he was greeted by the presidential guards in an official reception , the first official reception.


The attendees in the Cairo unviersities ceremony include the families of the martyrs, members of the parliament , ministers , political leaders , army commanders , religious icons , representatives from govenorates and revolutionary youth. Tantawy is there along with Sami Anan and Mohamed ElBaradei. Formrer president candidates Abu El Fotouh ,Moussa and Khaled Ali are thefr along with Ahmed Zowail.

@3:25 PM

And President Mohamed Morsi has addressed the nation in Cairo university in a real historical moment , a big moment for our Egypt regardless of what you think.Starting with greetings to the martyrs and the revolution , Morsi made it clear that this is a new start for Egypt.
He saluted and praised the armed forces and how they handed powers. He also said that the armed forces will return back to its mission in protecting our borders.
The most remarkable thing he said that the elected authorities will return back to work and these elected authorities are for sure the Parliament
I think this speech was balanced , truly balanced political one.
Morsi reassured to the Gulf states indirectly that Egypt will not export the Egyptian revolution
Again Morsi makes it clearly that Egypt will respect all the treaties. He also spoke about Palestine and how Egypt will stand besides Palestine as well the Syrian people. The newly elected president said that Egypt wanted the blood river in Syria to stop now.
Egypt will work in enforcing the League of Arab states, reactivating the Joint Arab Defense treat and founding the Common Arab market .
Morsi swore again for the third time in front of the gathering at Cairo university including the members of the parliament.

May be I am picky but I wish that he mentioned the civilian state concept in the speech aside from mentioning the unity between
I could not keep from ignoring the fact the Morsi is wearing a red tie.
Mrs. Morsi , Naglaa Ali and two his sons attended the ceremony , they were seated besides the ambassador of Turkey and his wife. The US ambassador in Cairo , Ann Peterson also attended the ceremony.
After finishing his speech Morsi left Cairo University along with the army generals to head to the Hikestep area in order to attend the celebration of the armed forces for handing over power.
Here is the complete Cairo University celebration.

We need a real official Explanation from the army

During the ceremony held by the army to honor newly elected President Mohamed Morsi there was that shocking moment when millions of Egyptian viewers saw a torn Egyptian flag carried by a helicopter in that air forces or rather helicopters' parades.
The torn flag "twitter"
As quickly this shot appeared on TV shocking the viewers and made them feel that they are being insulted.
This moment was not only a shock to millions of viewers from Egypt around the globe but also a huge insult to the Egyptian army and its heroes from veterans and martyrs that gave their lives for the sake of this flag !!
After couples of hours we find claims in social networks that this flag was actually the flag that was raised on the Western Bank of the Suez canal on October 6th ,1973 after the crossing of the Egyptian forces to restore Sinai.
If it were the 1973 flag , why they did not announce it on TV !? Already we can know very simply if it is the 1973 flag or not by checking the Yellow Birdie in the middle. In 1973 the Yellow birdie was the famous Hawk of Quresih
Our flag during the 1973 war "Wikipedia" 
While our current flag’s Yellow Birdie is the 1958 version of the Famous Saladin Eagle.
The current flag 
We need to see which birdie it is in that torn flag.
Let me get this straight the 1973 flag that was raised on the other bank of Suez canal is a holy thing for all Egyptians and if it were 1973 flag that was sunk in the precious blood of our forces , then it was a true smart move but why they did not say that !??
I think this is huge and we need an official explanation from the armed forces regarding this flag.
If it is mistake then you should announce it and punish those responsible for that horrible mistake publicly because we will not accept any insult to our flag from anyone.
We did not accept that the Egyptian flag to be insulted in Tahrir by having other flags and we will not accept any insult to it from anyone.

And once again Dhahi Khalfan rants on his twitter account and creates a new diplomatic crisis between Egypt and UAE !!
The Dubai Police chief opened his fire against the new Egyptian president crossing all the lines of protocols and considerations of his position as an important official in another country that got relations with Egypt. Khalfan hates the Muslim brotherhood so  much , we know that from twitter war which caused a diplomatic crisis from couple of months ago between Egypt and UAE.
As soon as Morsi was announced as the new president of Egypt , we found slamming him and the Muslim brotherhood. The big insult came when he posted allegedly a tweet saying the following :
Morsi will crawl on his knees begging for money in Gulf
To be honest I could not find that tweet as some say it was deleted as soon as the Egyptian ministry of foreign affairs summoned the Emirati ambassador in Cairo from two days ago. Still I have read other insulting tweets about how Morsi should liberate Al Quds ASAP in reference to the stupid claims of Safwat Hegazy that Al Quds will be the the capital of the United Arab States. That tweet made many Egyptians remind him with the Emirati islands occupied by Iran.
Many Egyptians felt insulted even those that did not elect Morsi , he is insulting now the head of state.
Officially UAE denied that the opinions of Khalfan were its official position , in fact Khalfan told BBC that he was representing himself online only. Gulf news also claimed that UAE was going to officially to issue a statement regarding Dubai’s police Chief.
Up till now moment according to my knowledge UAE has not issued anything but tomorrow the ruler of Dubai will send his political advisor to Cairo to apologize officially.
Now Khalfan claims that he received not less than 1500 threatening calls in the past few days from the Muslim brotherhood.To be honest yesterday I found Egyptian tweeps spreading what they believed his phone number in Dubai.
I got over 2000 threatening calls in less than 72 hours , no doubt that the thuggery of MB excelled the thuggery of Habib El Adly
P.S Habib El Adly is convicted of Corruption and his state security is accused of human rights crimes. Khalfan has never respected or recognized the #Jan25 revolution or any other revolution in the Arab world “except the Syrian one because it will harm Iran” , the Arab Las Vegas police chief believed that the Arab revolutions were actually foreign plots by the US !! Ironically his country has very strong relations with the US and he never has the guts to discuss the American army bases in the region.
Some Egyptians are wondering if Khalfan’s rants have to do anything with the fact that both Omar Soliman and Ahmed Shafik are in Abu Dhabi currently and how the regime in UAE does not welcome the revolution.
Just like Khalfan reminds the Muslim brotherhood members on how the founder of their group Sheikh Hassan El Bana allegedly kissed the hand of King Abdel Aziz Al Soud , the Egyptians in Social media networks shared the photos on how the Gulf leaders used to kiss the hand of King Farouk.

Followers of Hassan El Bana, kiss the hands of your masters , as your master Hassan El Bana May Allah bless his soul had done !!
 You do not miss with Egyptians easily.
Strangely many of Shafik’s supporters are so happy  with what Khalfan said in his rants about Morsi despite they attacked other Arabs who criticized SCAF and Shafik including journalists like Faisal El Kassem and our friends like Dima El Khatib !!
The big irony many of those Shafik supporters can not stomach Arabs and are insulted if they are considered Arabs !! They do not even care how ignorantly Khalfan claimed that the Arabs from the Gulf brought Islam in to Egypt “actually they were from Mecca” !!
Anyhow there is no wonder that Khalfan won popularity and fame in the Arab world with his fiascos as the Police chief in Dubai. The world knew his name for the first time after the gruesome murder of Suzanne Tamim and the circus that followed it in Cairo with all the political , economic as well scandalous jazz in Egyptian media. The second time the world would hear from him was during the famous Mabhouh affair when he suddenly and amazingly found that Mossad killed the leading member of Hamas under his nose.
Speaking seriously no wonder Dubai is a hot spot for human trafficking when its police chief left all what he is doing and focusing on a political group in another country 24/7 on twitter !!
Well I expect more of murders and assassinations in Dubai as long Khalfan is neglecting his job and focusing in the internal issues of Egypt and ranting 24/7 about the plots of Muslim brotherhood to control the Gulf on twitter !!

Update

Dhahi Khalfan is going to have a vacation from twitter till the end of the holy month of Ramadan Winking smile
Dhahi will quit twitter till the end of Ramadan

In the past , the photo of Mubarak was hanged there but now it is Egypt.

President Mohamed Morsi already gave his orders not to hang his presidential photos and portraits in the governmental institutions, ministries and agencies as well in embassies.
It is radical decision without defying the international protocols but they are good enough to treat Egyptians from the infamous presidential cult they suffered for centuries.

Of course to be honest , personally I wish that his photos and portraits are hanged in army and intelligence building in order to teach the officers important lessons and facts like civilians can be their commander in chief , the president will not stay for 30 years insh Allah again and their loyalty should be for Egypt and its people.

Farewell Revolution Youth Coalition

Revolution Youth Coalition “RYC” members announced that the political coalition that Revoluton Youth Coalition membersformed in the early February 2011 is going to be disbanded as its members find that the new political stage after presidential elections demands new coalitions with new challenges. According to some of its co-founder members like Shady El Ghazli Harb there no need for the coalition now especially that most of goals have been achieved including the power hand over to civilians “Even if it were partially” so it is better to disband it.

The Revolution Youth coalition was born in Tahrir square , in early February when youth from not less than 25 political movements, parties and groups as well independent activists and protesters decided to have one voice to represent the revolutionary demands of that youth in the square representing all political powers from left to right. I am speaking movements like April 6th Youth Movement “Maher’s front” {Liberal} , Muslim brotherhood Youth as well ex-Muslim brotherhood Youth {Islamist}, Revolutionary Socialists {Leftist}, ElBaradei support campaign {Liberal} , Justice and Freedom Youth {Social Democratic} , Democratic Front Party Youth {Liberal} and Tagammu party Youth {Leftist}. There were also

All these powers agreed on the revolution’s demands : Bread, freedom and social justice yet soon they had problems that made it hard for this coalition to continue.

The biggest sin I believe RYC committed is the sin all the revolutionaries did by limiting the revolution in Tahrir square only and neglecting the simple demands of the public.

The second major problem they met was that they could not overcome their political affiliation and difference to reach for the common goals , the MB youth still take order from the guidance office while the leftists can not trust the liberals and the liberals got their communications with God knows what to that jazz we used to hear throughout last year. 

The media harmed them with its constant exposure especially last year positioning them as if they were the rulers of Egypt and responsible for all the problems happened after the ousting of Mubarak. The media harmed them when it focused on unpopular faces among the public like Shady El Ghazli Harb to become the spokesperson of RYC in the media. The poor guy was not popular among normal non-politicalized Egyptians or among revolutionary Egyptians !!

I believe till the coalition’s real power or role ended by the beginning of the parliamentary elections when its members already enrolled in the political process in different parties and electoral coalitions.

RYC’s experience is extremely important and I think we all should learn from its mistakes in order to not fall again in to the mistakes they committed.  

In the end Farwell Revolution Youth Coalition , you made us believe for awhile that we can overcome our political difference even for awhile.

And 3 breaded men claiming to be Islamists stabbed a a university student called Ahmed Eid in Port Tawfik, Suez because he was walking with fiancée in the street at night in a horrific crime that shocked the whole country. Now Eid is labelled the "Martyr of Suez" in the media
Late Ahmed Eid May Allah bless his soul 
Sooner we find a shady statement from the so-called Egyptian Committee for the promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice “CPVPV” claiming the responsibility of the horrible murder saying that its members did not mean to kill him and that he misbehaved and they had to defend themselves in a very provoking statement. "By the way report this page to Facebook as Facebook page claiming for terrorism"
The CPVPV provoking statement 
The media found a golden opportunity to attack the Islamists , the Muslim brotherhood and new elected president Mohamed Morsi.
Now there are certain remarks I must hint out :
  • Up till this moment the police has not arrested those who killed him or knew who they are !! With my all due respect this had nothing to do with the Islamist political trend rise as much as it has to do with security in town. It is the responsibility of the police and the general security directorate in Suez.
Al Nour Salafist party denied to have any responsibility and its spokesperson Nader Bakar already claimed that the members of the famous Salafist party in Suez participated in the funeral of the young man. It is worth to mention that there is a strong Salafist trend in Suez starting from the life fact that Sheikh Hafez Salama , the icon of resistance is from the Salafist icons in the whole country. Al Nour party won the parliamentary elections in Suez in 2011.
Al Gama’a Al Islamiyya also denied any relation with the horrific act.
In my point of view the police is responsible before anyone for this crime when 3 thugs stab a student in the street and can not find them , already how the hell the police let those Egyptian CPVPV creeps spread terror in the society if the Egyptian CPVPV does exist in the first place !!? My humble knowledge with the law says that Using electric shock sticks is against the law and they are not allowed to be owned by civilians in fact. It is not the responsibility of the new president that only swore in from three days ago officially and has not formed a cabinet yet.

Shimaa Adel 
Just from short time ago it was announced that Journalist Shimaa Adel from Al Watan newspaper has been arrested and detained by Sudanese regime while covering protests tonight in Sudan.
Updated : Shimaa Adel was released after the intervention of the Egyptian embassy and ministry of foreign affairs. Adel was detained and interrogated by the NISS. I do not know what happened to the other Sudanese journalists. 
Shimaa is considered a veteran journalist when it comes to the Arab spring coverage , she covered the Libyan revolution and covered the Syrian revolution where she was injured.
I envy Shimaa honestly for her bravery to cover areas and conflicts , I hope she returns soon.
Adel was arrested along with Sudanese journalists who were with her including a young journalist called Marwa.
Sudanese activists are planning to have a protest in solidarity with Sudanese journalists. The protests already are spreading day and night in Sudan and nobody is paying attention
Shimaa is the second Egyptian journalist to be detained in Khartoum after dear friend Salma Al Wardany. I know that the Egyptian embassy will stand with Shimaa till she returns safe back home.
I met dear Salma Al Wardany after her return safely to Cairo and she told me that she is afraid that with the lack of the international press coverage to the on going protests in the country , this movement can be dispersed brutally by El Bashir regime.
The foreign correspondents in Sudan are afraid to cover the truth and the on going protests in there for political and diplomatic reasons as far as I told , the only one that broke that rule was dear Salma Al Wardany and she was deported.

After 8 years Al Jazeera asks what killed Arafat !?

And amazingly Al Jazeera international made us forget for couple of hours our internal issues in Egypt and made us ask on twitter What killed Arafat after nearly 8 years of his death.
The channel presented an investigative documentary that says the late Palestinian iconic leader and president Yasser Arafat was poisoned by Polonium based on tests for his clothes as well medical records and testimonies.Here is part of the documentary.

The documentary is produced and presented by Clayton Swisher “@Clayswisher” and Nagi Tamimi “@Nagitamimi”. This documentary by the way reminded me with Yosri Fouda’s old Al Jazeera Arabic investigative documentaries.
 Arafat's famous Keffiyeh "Al Jazeera PR"
It is not the first time that Al Jazeera opens a huge discussion about the death of Arafat and the theories surrounding it. In 2009 Farouk El Kaddoumi accused Abu Mazon and Dahlan of standing behind the leader of PLO and Fatah’s death along with the CIA and Mossad in an exclusive interview with Al Aljazeera Arabic. Strangely we hear nothing from El Kaddoumi now !!
Living in the Arab world and Egypt , I had my share of these theories for years and I will not be surprised at all to find out that he was assassinated , Fatah bastards like Dahlan can not be trusted.
Now Suha Arafat has demanded Fatah’s government to exhume the body of her late husband in order to know what killed him , it is up to Abu Mazan and his gang to do whatever they want in front of the World’s eyes. Of course Suha was the drama queen in the documentary. Already I wonder why she kept the clothes of Arafat in that handbag like that unclean for nearly 8 years !!?
Here is Suha’s interview with Al Jazeera International in English.
I wonder if this documentary will open a big discussion in Cairo with all the stuff we have got now. The Arabic X-File is open once again.
P.S I love how the intelligence made the doctors of Arafat keep their mouths shut !!

Ok this is not to be found in Emirati media or even in Arabic press

UAE has enlisted 3000 retired Colombian Solider and officer in its armed forces !!?

What kind of national army is that when you import foreign officers and soldiers abroad ?? I do not understand what kind of expertise we are speaking about it here !! They are mercenaries. The question in my mind now is who these mercenaries are going to fight in the region ?? Iran or Syria ?? Or what !!?

You can read more about it in Semana.com “Spanish”. You can read more about The military forces of Colombia and UAE’s Union Defense force.

I do not know if the Latino soldiers are the new black in the Gulf after enlisting Pakistani in the Bahraini security forces !!!
