Rabaa massacre was the murder of a country
Four years have passed since the massacre of the century in Rabaa Al-Adawiya and Al-Nahda Squares; that was the day when the Egyptian conscience died and the concepts of humanity and nationalism were changed. At that point, Muslims adhering to their religion became dangerous and the enemy towards which...

Egypt speaks for itself
When Al-Sisi staged his first coup against the first democratically elected president in Egypt in 7,000 years, he said his famous line: “Tomorrow, you’ll see Egypt will be on top of the world.” Four years passed and Egypt, which has always been known as “the mother of the world”...

Sisi’s phobia
Al-Sisi’s latest brainchild is his orders to the Egyptian media, i.e. his media battalion, to deliver the phobia of the fall of the state to the Egyptian people. This is what he said in the youth conference he holds every month with a group of carefully chosen youths, who...

The protesters prevailed over the Zionists
The true steadfast men and women of the nation protested and exposed their leaders for the traitors they are rather than the martyrs they appear to be. These Palestinians are the most honourable members of our nation, and are a select few remaining who continue to resist the Zionist...

The new ‘Naguib military base’ should make us weep for Egypt
The army in Egypt has suddenly remembered Egypt’s first President, Mohammed Naguib; his army officers staged a coup against him, imprisoned and insulted him, and then erased from their fabricated history his name as the first President of Egypt following the 1953 coup and consequent overthrow of the King....

Egypt is being sold off in segments
Egyptians have not yet recovered from the shock of the government’s decision to sell the islands of Tiran and Sanafir to Saudi Arabia despite the fact that a court ruling declared them to be Egyptian islands within the geographical borders of the Egyptian state. Al-Sisi breached the law and...

Sisi’s terrorism
The Egyptian people woke up on Friday morning to the news of a terrorist bombing in northern Sinai, killing 26 officers and soldiers and wounding 40 others. Among the dead was Brigadier General Ahmad Al-Mansi, commander of the Thunderbolt Forces. This raises a serious question, as the Thunderbolt Forces...

The conference of shame and disgrace
The enemy of Islam and hater of Muslims visited the land of Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him), the prophet of Islam, and the land of the two holy mosques, to publically wage his war on Islam and Muslims in the company of the presidents, kings and emirs of...

Looking for a presidential extra
There is one more year left until Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi’s presidential term is over and new presidential elections are held. Since Al-Sisi has hinted on more than one occasion that he intends to run in these elections, there is a need to find an alternative now. Therefore, preparations are...

Attacking Al-Azhar is a gateway to attacking Islam
They used Al-Azhar as a gateway to attack Islam; a gateway through which they could sneak up on the constants of religion and tamper with them. For over a month, specifically after the bombing of the two churches in Alexandria and Tanta, the pro-coup media has waged a fierce...

The blessed visit has come to an end
Egypt’s streets and various squares were decorated over the past two weeks with banners, lanterns and neon signs to celebrate the arrival of the Pope. They called him the Pope of peace in the land of peace. Official and non-official television channels competed to broadcast Christian hymns and church...

They are killing prisoners
All of the Egyptians were shocked on Thursday when anti-coup Al-Mekameleen television broadcast the leaked video of Egyptian soldiers leading young imprisoned men in Sinai, including a child who was handcuffed and blindfolded. The commander ordered the soldiers to kill these prisoners, and they were forced to lie down...

The night that made the journalists scream!
The night the results of the referendum on the constitutional amendments in Turkey were announced was a night of sadness, screaming and weeping for the pro-coup satellite stations in Egypt. It is as if they’ve become the mouthpieces of the opposition in Turkey, even more intense than them. The...

Egypt is a big prison
It was as if the bombing of the two churches was awaited in order to declare martial law in the country and put an iron grip on all the state institutions. The Egyptians woke up on Sunday to the bombing of a church in the Tanta province that killed...
-
Egypt’s elites praise the Netherlands
How can all the Arab and Muslim countries remain silent in the face of the Netherlands’ hostile position towards Turkey and the statements made by the extremist right-wing party leader against Islam? They did not even issue a statement, even a hesitant or timid one, to condemn the incident. Does...

Executing the January Revolution
After deposed President Hosni Mubarak was acquitted in the case of killing protestors in the January Revolution, the case of the January Revolution Martyrs is completely closed, as the ruling is a final ruling issued by the highest court, the Cassation Court. This was preceded by the acquittal of...
-
The ‘alternate’ Palestinian homeland
Suddenly, without warning, Israeli Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Ayoob Kara tweeted that Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi offered Israel parts of Sinai to annex to Gaza in order to create a Palestinian state, and that the US and Israeli governments are looking into the offer. His words...

Did Egypt’s January Revolution die?
January 25th passed without a hitch for the people of Egypt, apart from a few posts and tweets on Facebook and Twitter, some of which were eulogies for the revolution while others expressed sadness at it being lost in a sea of frustration. However, there were also some people...

The curtain has yet to fall on the two islands’ issue
Egypt’s Supreme Administrative Court has ruled that the islands of Sanafir and Tiran in the Red Sea are Egyptian, but refused to challenge a lower court which ruled earlier that they belong to Saudi Arabia. This sets a historic precedent, unlike any other; it will certainly be the first...

What lies behind the slaughter of the Egyptian judge?
Suddenly, without any prior warning, State Council employee Ahmed Al-Labban was arrested from inside his home and a cave – dubbed “Al-Labban’s cave” – was photographed with more than $8 million worth of Egyptian pounds, as well as tens of millions of dollars and other currency lying around inside...

Aleppo is the source of both shame and pain
There is no doubt that the tragedy of Aleppo will go down in history as a shameful stain on the world’s conscience. To it will be added the other stains that are bound to follow. The conscience of the Arab world has finally announced its demise; it stood by...

Between saints
While the world was celebrating the birth of the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), an explosion ripped through Saint Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Cairo during Sunday Mass. Twenty-three people were killed and 45 were wounded. The whole world was informed of this and the news agencies spread...
-
Can we now expect gaffe-prone Sisi to claim, ‘I am thy lord’?
We do not know where the filters are that Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi said that he had before he officially became president. Remember? When talking on television programmes prepared specifically to promote him, he used to say that his speech was delayed because everything he would say would pass through...

The documentary that is shaking the regime
As soon as Al-Jazeera announced the broadcast date for its documentary “The Soldiers”, the pro-coup media in Egypt went into a frenzy, attacking and threatening, at the behest of the government, so-called “Zionist and treacherous” Qatar. The media began to label those who watch the documentary as traitors and...
