VIDEO – Egyptian bloggers and dissent

Aalam Wassef’s videos over the past years have been inspirational to me and many other Egyptians. I never got to meet him in person till the uprising, and I’m truly honored.

My friend Mohamed tweeting about a conversation between him and his mother:
My Mom: Where are you going son?
Me: I’m going to university, then heading to a protest.
My Mom: Ok, don’t be late, Dr. Ayman Nour will be on ONTV tonight.

Compare this conversation to pre-25 Jan times. One had to lie to his parents about going to protests. Parents wouldn’t really care that much whether some “politician” showed up on TV speaking or not. And probably mothers would urge their children to come back home on time to catch a soap opera on TV with the rest of family members.

Everyone is “political” these days. That’s what revolution does to people…

The Return of Rou2a عودة الندل

Though he had promised he would resign from his post as Egypt’s longest serving Minister of “Culture” if he lost the UNESCO bid, Farouk Hosni has, as expected, U-turned... Mabrouk, we are stuck with the geezer once again, for at least another decade.

Meanwhile, the crusade to “expose the Jewish/American conspiracy against Egypt and Farouk Hosni” continues virtually in all publications, state-owned and independent alike.

Au Revoir Rou2a

Mabrouk! Farouk Hosni has lost the UNESCO bid.
