Why #Blog4Syria?

Syria, What's happening there is just painful to just listen to rather than experience it, I am sorry for all my free brothers that are experiencing this unjustified brutal inhuman force of ass sticking to a meaningless chair/position.


For who doesn't know, both Syria and Egypt used to be one country, same people united under one purpose. This unity was formed back in the 22nd of Feb. 1958. the initiative was taken by both Gamal Abd El-Naser (The Egyptian president at that time) and Shokry El-Qotely (The Syrian president at that time). Abd El-Naser wanted an Arab union, the Syrian people were observing our revolution. In a nutshell the whole unity thing was a cross benefit situation. My point is some say that the split of the "United Arab Republic" "الجمهورية العربية المتحدة " resulted in the Israeli occupation of 1965 also know as "النكسة". 


This is not a history lesson. What I am aiming after telling you this story is for you to realize how close we are to the Syrian people and how negative we are towards them. We were people once and when we split up we both fell apart. 


What's happening in Syria now is somewhat a result to the UNFINISHED revolution we had called Jan25 and I personally feel responsible to help them in anyway possible and since this is the only way I personally can. 


I think the only way Syria would be free is if Damascus joins in the uprising for a more free and better Syira. If by any mean any free Syrian reads this post I am telling them I wish I was there you truly are amazing and am proud that our nations where once one. Also if any Syrian from Damascus happens to read this, PROTEST AND GO TO THE STREETS, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BLOODSHED HAPPENING IN YOUR COUNTRY AND THE COUNTLESS SOULS THAT ARE BEING MURDERED BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO AFRAID TO SAY NO, THAT'S ENOUGH.  


Wake up Syria, the free world is waiting for you,


Sincerely, a brother of yours.

Why #EndSH?

SEXUAL HARASSMENT.


To every human being (because calling them guys is demeaning to males) that thinks that by HARASSING a girl in the street/class/building or even in her window, it would make him look good; think again.


Why End Sexual Harassment? 
Why does it exist in the first place? It exists because in every nation there are a large number of disturbed souls or uneducated people that thing that right is wrong and wrong is right. This misconception in Egypt has occurred due to lack of education and the absence of a good environment for these people to grow up and learn in. 


It was the past regime's fault that these sort of people existed. I personally think that this phenomenon is a disease and we should act towards it as if we're dealing with fast spreading cancer. Everyone can't see the harm in "having some fun." 


I don't sexual harassment's name is not quite accurate, or what we have in Egypt has more options that come with, because the most common type is the verbal harassment which sounds to some twisted minds as normal. The verbal harassment is much easier to fix I think. Easy solution; guys if you come by any kind of verbal harassment feel fry to curse that person every curse you know. As for girls you have the power to through/shoot him with anything you can put your hands on.


Some people are really passive about such situations, and always rises the famous sentence "و أنا مال أهلي يا عم؟". لأ ليك دعوة طبعاً، هي مين إلي ماشية في الشارع ديه؟ واحدة إسرائيليه؟ دي واحدة مصرية من نفس البلد و ممكن يطلع أخوها صاحبك ولا بعد 15 سنة تلاقيها جنبك في الكوشة. إسترجل شوية و اعمل إلي عليك.

من هنا و رايح لو شفت واحد في الشارع بيعاكس أو بيضايق أي واحدة في الشارع والله لا ألف و أرزعه صف شتايم. عشان بدل ما نعد نقول الي بيعملوا كده وحشين و هنقولهم لو سمحتم بطلوا؛ أنا بفضل أعمل كل حاجة بنفسي. أنا هقول لأ للتحرش الجنسي أو الشفهي. أما بالنسبة للاجيال الجديدة في ديه لازم احنا نوعيها إن البنات دول جنس لطشيف ماينفعش يتعاملوا كدة. 

I don't know why I suddenly turned into Arabic, and I don't care. The main thing is that I delivered my point. Plus it's really late and I can barely focus. To summarize, the problems are education, our silence and the new generation. 

Again, I will so no to kind of sexual/verbal harassment. 

Take care ladies out there, and guys; please grow some balls and help your fellow sisters.

Why #NoMilitaryTrials?

Why? Does it even make sense to ask for military trials?

Where the hell are we to have military trials for civilians? Why is the state of emergency still ongoing? Why are the Tahrir protesters, the only protesters that stops the production wheel? I have many questions to ask the SCAF but I'll just focus on one. Why military trials?

I heard a guy once talking about the military trials and he said that since we're being run by the military they're rules apply so everyone gets a military trial in a military facility. This is total rubbish. There is no such thing as that and if someone by any mean tells you that stick something up his something.

I am going to talk about a situation in particular that I was part of and that's related to military trials. What happened at the Zionist embassy from violations towards the protesters is unacceptable. Of course we all heard about what happened to Tarek Shalaby, Mosa'ab El-Shamy and Hossam Nassef and many others. I could've been easily one of those people. I am AGAINST MILITARY TRIALS.

Talking about military trials has to take us to freedom of speech, what with that? Is it that silly that the SCAF doesn't want to grant us it? Then why did we have Jan25? The SCAF can't by any mean arrest someone in a peaceful protest or even interrogate someone based on his opinion.

Military trials are just a fear methodology adopted by the SCAF, they want to keep everyone at home accepting the status quo which something am sure most of the Egyptians have sworn not to any more. I think the SCAF can't handle dealing with politics and difference of opinion because the military is used to giving orders and punishing who doesn't follow, which is not the case in politics. Politics is based on difference of opinions and the perception of every party of the future of the country and what shoukd or should not be done.

I read this amazing article by Mourid El-Barghouthi talking about what happened at the Zionist embassy that I think everyone should read. http://bit.ly/ktTDyA

This is me putting pressure on the SCAF to stop military trials. I hope you do too.

Why #NoSCAF?

** SCAF stands for: Supreme Council of Armed Forces -- المجلس الاعلى للقوات المسلحة 

** Before I start this post I want to clear out that there is a BIG difference between the army and the SCAF, the SCAF is a managerial board. And I only mean this board.

We revolted. With every revolution comes drastic changes. These changes are according to the will of the people according to the revolutionary legitimacy. 

The SCAF as I clearly recall was forced upon us. I don't recall voting for them in a poll. This is the first reason why the SCAF shouldn't continue. It's not the will of the people.

I am not going to emphasize on certain acts by the SCAF rather I am going to talk about general behaviors. 

1. Why is everything related to the SCAF is a big mystery? What really happened on March 9th? What's with all  the hidden secrets? We revolted because we didn't feel we belonged to this country; why is the SCAF using the same sleazy techniques the past regime used?
2. What's with the military prosecutions to civilians? What the hell are you thinking? THEY ARE CIVILIANS. CIVILIANS GOD DAMNIT. I know everyone can understand this point so I am going to move to another point.
3. Why does the SCAF think we're too dumb to know our own good.Why do they treat us as a 5 year old that only cares about his food? Why did Etman come out and say the troops emptying Tahrir were unarmed and it was clearer than the sun in July that there was indeed gunshots everywhere. I saw the empty shell cases myself. The SCAF has been for the past 30 years trained or has lived in an environment that only works by manipulating its people. That doesn't work anymore.
4. Why is there unjustified delay in the prosecution of the figures of the old regime? And why isn't there any charges but illegal earnings? What happened to disturbing/manipulating the political life in Egypt? And why doesn't the SCAF want to issue a law to incriminate that?
5. Let's assume for a second that the SCAF came after a national wide spread acceptance, what has the SCAF done so far to protect the revolution or even work on fulfilling its demands? Where is the part which any elected regime should do called listening and doing what the people want?
6. Why should I after such a revolution be afraid of writing my opinion on a blog or going to the streets to say my opinion? One of the MAIN DEMANDS was FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
7. I said I am not going to talk about specifics but I have to talk about the constitutional declaration. Why would a regime that enforces the will of the people write down such a shameful declaration? Why so much power? Also another point; Why the hundred thousand signature to extend the SCAF ruling? So if I get the same number of signatures to bring back Mubarak -and we know it's not that hard- you'll bring him back?

These are in a hurry my thoughts about #NoSCAF.

The previous post is about Why #May27? Check it to know why everyone should go to Tahrir that day.

See you all on the 27th.

Why #May27?

I'll take you back a couple of months back. Why Jan25?

I went down to the streets because we had a dictator that wasn't elected by the people and wasn't by any chance the first nor the last choice of the people of this great country.

I went down to the streets because I believed in the freedom of speech, the freedom of having a peaceful stand/protest.

I went down to the streets because I never felt safe in my country due to how the police is behaving.

I went down to the streets because no one was prosecuted fairly in this country.

I went down to the streets because I wanted to have a voice rather than accepting the status quo.

I went down to the streets because I had a dream of a better Egypt and I didn't feel like the regime had the same vision.

I went down to the streets because I didn't like our foreign affairs.

I went down because I wanted a better representation of my country.

I went down to the streets to REVOLT.

---

Take off Jan25. Replace it with May27 and you'll know why I want to go down to the streets again.

Join us on May27. Let's complete our revolution for a better Egypt.

Why did people get back to the way they used to behave?

Yes, unfortunately a lot of people after Jan 25 started going to the old, bad habits that they used to do. 


I was walking in a street that I went through while people were cleaning it and I took pictures of them. I was like any other Egyptian extremely happy and proud of the positive change that occurred and was clearly seen in the Egyptian streets. What happened?


The revolution started by the middle class. Middle class was the class that was really affected by the change that happened and they were the ones who initiated the positive movement and it was soon followed by the higher and the lower classes.


Why did people get back to the way they used to behave? Because the middle class is now back to their jobs. If the middle class doesn't move no one will. I know it's not that easy to balance between the tiring jobs everyone has and the fact that we need to get the "Cycle of production - عجلة التنمية" going, and the fact that we need to pay more attention to developing other aspects of the country. 


Another point which is part the past regime's fault and part ours. We didn't have the sense of ownership to the country. It's just like adrenalin. We had an adrenalin rush during and after the revolution, but then things cooled off. It's not that we don't have the sense of ownership anymore, it's just that we are not used to being positive and leave an impact on our society. 


People tend to be a bit pessimistic about this whole subject and they start saying we're going backwards and the revolution did nothing, "احنا بنطلع و بننزل على مفيش" but I disagree. CHANGE DID HAPPEN. 


How do we get people to get that energy back? Start with your own social span. Get everyone you know not to throw trash in the street. Encourage them to help in every way they can to develop this country.


I know my words sound very illusive and very hard to accomplish but so was getting Mubarak's sorry ass out of the chair.


Egypt is ours. Let's take her high.

Why rumors?

Aaaah. Rumors. They are like the extremely polluted air we're inhaling in every living second in Egypt. 


Pollution is not our topic, unfortunately. During our beloved #Jan25 revolution rumors were widely spread. They started by KFC, 50 Euros, 3arabya mitsubishi 7amra feha baltagya btedrab nar & Mubarak is in Germany.


Why did rumors spread that much? After extensive thinking and major exhausted brain power I realized that in the end; WE LIKE IT. Why do we like it? 1.It gives us topics to talk about. 2.People saying rumors think it'll  make them look up to date and know everything. 3.Rumors are mind stimulating and gives the person for some unknown reason the feeling of self-satisfaction. 


Rumors have been a big part of our community for quit some time. Since we like rumors, rumors have found their way fast in our community. I want to start upon some rumors that really pissed me off.


Zamalek game. I don't believe in the theory that says it's the anti-revolution responsible of what happened. Yes there was A LOT of question marks raised, but we can not stick every bad thing that happens to the anti-revolution. The anti-revolution is anyone of us that doesn't do his job in the best way possible and try to help his country as much as he can.


We were sitting one day fl lagna el sha3bya, and some guy came screaming "في طيارة هليكوبتر فيها بلطجية الطيار لون عينه أخضر و بيرموا ملتوف على الناس" . HOW IN HELL CAN SOMEONE BELIEVE SUCH BULL CRAP? Don't you think? EVER? I can't remember how I reacted but I don't think it was a censored one.


I am not going to talk about KFC, so many people already did. I am going to talk about the rumor that there was a woman who was spreading L.E. 50 bills to everyone going inside Tahir sq. Do the math, 50x1,000,000 per day. 4,000,000 at some times. 18 days. That will cost her around 3,600,000,000. She's either part of the previous regime to have this kind of money which contradicts with the whole purpose or Suzan hired her son to be her personal male stripper.


In conclusion. STOP SPREADING RUMORS. NOT COOL.
