Al-Sisi's newest scandal
The leaked recordings of Al-Sisi and his cronies are emerging daily; they show that a gang of thieves is ruling Egypt. It isn’t enough for them to steal and loot Egypt’s countless wealth and bounties; they also resort to the extortion of money from countries that have already spent...

Egypt's Nero burns his country
The leader of Egypt’s coup stood proudly amid his supporters, including politicians, decision-makers, and intelligence and media agencies that flow in and out of his office. “I will not hold you back from avenging the officers and soldiers who were killed in Sinai,” he said. “You chose to go...
-
A renewed revolution
I was not surprised by the mass demonstrations that swept Egypt on the fourth anniversary of the 25 January Revolution, but the coup-led government and its media mouthpieces were. The media even called on the “honourable citizens”, the euphemism for the hired thugs, to take to the streets to...

Saudi Arabia will weep
Fate had it that Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz died on the same day that the Houthis seized authority in Yemen after it secured their control over the important state institutions and strategic sites. They did so with the cooperation of ousted President Abdullah Saleh and, perhaps, even...

Al-Jazeera is the cost of reconciliation
When a government stipulates that a television channel has to be the first item on the agenda for possible reconciliation talks between countries, then you know that the administration in question must be very fragile indeed. It must be based on false foundations for a media outlet to be...

A gang is ruling Egypt!
Dangerous leaks from the Egyptian army leaders have revealed the extent to which the legitimately elected President Mohamed Morsi was conspired against. These leaks also exposed the falsification of official documents used to fabricate accusations against Dr Morsi after he was kidnapped from the Presidential Palace while working on...
-
The cover-up committee
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Egypt had a “fact-finding” committee looking into the Rabaa Al-Adawiyya and Al-Nahda Square massacres. The problem is that this committee was put together by the coup government responsible for the massacres and should therefore be called the cover-up committee, as the information in its report...

Once upon a time, there was a revolution in Egypt
Once upon a time, on January 25, 2011, the Egyptian people carried out a major revolution against Hosni Mubarak’s corrupt and unjust regime. They demanded life, freedom, social justice and human dignity. Mubarak crumbled and stepped down, handing over authority to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF)...

George Orwell frightens Al-Sisi's regime
Egypt is living a black comedy. Every day a new play is shown and it displays the farce and illogical incidents occurring in the country. The most recent of these farcical plays show the coup leader Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi’s security forces arresting a student carrying famous British writer George...

Constitutional rule is a new blow for Libya
There is no doubt that the Supreme Constitutional Court ruling to dissolve the Tobruk parliament cobbled together by Haftar and Sisi, and cancelling its associated government, as well as all agreements made during its term, is considered to be a blow to Al-Sisi’s coup regime. This is especially so...
-
Rafah is gone with the wind
The degree of madness and criminality attained by the coup regime is growing faster and more intense than we imagined. The people of Rafah living in the Egyptian city of Sinai have been displaced after their homes were bombed and the olive trees were uprooted in preparation for the...
-
Sinai is Sisi's new enemy
The series of targeting the poor, salt of the earth Egyptian soldiers in cowardly bombings that recently included the bombing of the armoured vehicles in Rafah, resulting in the martyrdom of 30 soldiers and the wounding of dozens in a suicide bombing operation, is ongoing. Unfortunately, despite the recurrence...
-
The spy state
The great state of Egypt has become a country of spies ever since resolutions were issued encouraging students to spy on their fellow students and report them to the security services for merely opposing the regime. Such spying has been justified under the pretext of nationalism, and these students...
-
Al-Aqsa is being violated and the Muslims are standing idly by
Zionist soldiers have desecrated the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque with their dirty shoes. They raided the mosque in order to facilitate Jewish extremists storming the mosque and clashing with Muslim worshippers who had staged a sit-in in the mosque in order to defend it due to the complete absence of...

Egypt's army: Between victory and defeat
While we celebrate the victories of our great army in the October 1973 war, during which they broke the Bar-Lev Line, crossed the Suez Canal and raised the Egyptian flag in the beloved land of Sinai, it brings to mind an important question: Is this brave army that fought...
-
The blood stained general is at the UN
He was afraid of the protests from the opposition outside the United Nations building, so he changed the date of his speech, giving it a day before schedule, so the world wouldn’t see the large crowds of Egyptians living in America who are opposed to his military coup and...
-
What has Al-Sisi achieved during his first 100 days as president?
One hundred days have passed since the leader of the bloody military coup, Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, became president of Egypt- this is not counting the time he was ruling Egypt from behind the scenes for about a year after the elected president Mohamed Morsi was deposed. What has he...
-
An international alliance against whom?
No sooner had Barack Obama announced a new international alliance to fight what is known as the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq than an international conference was held in Jeddah to put it into effect. Seventeen countries represented by their foreign ministers attended the conference, including US Secretary of...
-
What does Gaza’s victory mean?
Gaza triumphed in spite of those who hate the Islamic resistance movement Hamas, the Arab Zionists who wished that Israel would have eliminated them forever. They offered their support to the Zionist enemy through all possible means, including financial, moral, and political. However, God thwarted their plans as the...
-
Al-Sisi's scandal in Libya
The New York Times newspaper has published statements by senior security officials that Egypt and the United Arab Emirates participated in the air strikes on the Libyan Dawn Forces linked to the February 17th rebels; Egyptian air bases near the border with Libya were used to launch UAE aircraft....
-
Al-Sisi's truce is a smokescreen to help Israel
We thank God that the futile negotiations held by the coup-led government in Egypt with the Palestinian and Israeli delegations are over, negotiations that expressed the government’s criminal position on the war in Gaza and its adoption of the Israeli aim to eliminate the Islamic Resistance Movement. The reason...
-
A year has passed since the Rabaa massacre
It has been a year since the Rabaa massacre; a massacre which is unprecedented in modern human history in terms of its ugliness and criminality. The brutal authority forcibly seized the rule and killed thousands of its citizens, the people of this good nation, within a few hours, burning...
-
Al-Sisi's trinity
The energy-saving bicycle and light bulb, as well as dividing loaves of bread into four parts is the solution to all of Egypt’s incurable economic problems according to the leader of the brutal coup. This is his programme which he will implement once authority is handed over to him....

Inauguration Day
In an epic scene that is reminiscent of an Ancient Greek myth, the leader of the violent and bloody coup is being appointed emperor of Egypt amid a celebratory environment similar to the Roman celebrations. The leader of the coup wanted to prove, to himself first and then to...
