'Tunisia' has to come now for Egypt !



I will go straight ahead with my thoughts on the presumption that you have been following the recent events in Egypt, Tunisia and almost the entire middle east region.
So over the last couple of weeks as if in consequence to the civilian overhaul of government in Tunisia, the media has and remains awash with stories, (live streaming to be exact) of the the civillian unrest in Egypt demanding a resignation of President Mubarack and his 30 year old regime! In it's initial phases we watched in utter awe as the masses rallied and we followed them everywhere, on twitter and whatever because the world was amazed at these scenes and no one wanted to miss the fall of the mighty Hosni Mubarack, deep inside (forget the diplomacy) we all wanted to see the guy go even for the most flimsy reasons!

But two weeks down the road, the old man is still in place, apart from a slight shudder in order of command (appointment of a deputy president & a new cabinet) nothing really has taken shape in terms of real substantial change!
What the people want to see is a washout of the man and his entourage but that has not yet come, not yet at least!

So we have seen a decline in protester numbers and after that rattling speech by the main celebrant in all of this, his supporters have come out in numbers fighting the anti-government movement causing a number of deaths and injuries along the way!
You could say the uprising is running out o ideas and the regime's tactics of playing dumb are wearing them out!
Quite honestly all that coupled with the squeeze on the international media is beginning to wear the patience of many and I for one am beginning to ignore the situation a little more preferring news channels that show less of Egypt more and more and that is unfortunate because the people on the streets have real and just reasons to protest!

If something does not happen soon to jerk the rallies again in form of a leader or a revamped strategy, I fear the number's will dwindle further and the rallies will come to a halt! Egyptians will then be left with the same old dirty clothes they have been using for 30 odd years!

I pray their voices are heard, I hope change comes soon to the land! God bless!

Just who do the Egyptians think they are eh?

Today I am going full bloodied on this because it is not only inhuman but absolute carnage by the Egyptians but also the people in bed with them over the Nile water sharing agreement!, but first the facts! 1. The Nile Water Agreement of 1929, granting Egypt the lion's share of the Nile waters, was drawn up at a time when Egypt was a British satellite, regarded as strategically crucial by London because of the Suez canal, which controlled access to India. The agreement is now in effect enforced by international donors, who are reluctant to advance funds for major river projects that will upset Egypt, a key Arab ally of the US in the Middle East. Sub-Saharan countries cannot match Egypt's diplomatic clout, but they face a dilemma as a major untapped resource rolls through their territories. "We have reached a stage where all the Nile basin countries are confronted by domestic development challenges," said Halifa Drammeh, a deputy director of the United Nations environme

About Religious fundamentalism!

Wikipedia refers to fundamentalism as a belief in a strict adherence to an established set of basic principles (often religious in nature), sometimes as a reaction to perceived doctrinal compromises with modern social and political life. I on the other hand perceive it as a reluctance or better still the complete refusal to engage or in a mind set that is contradictory to your own. It is the extreme form of radicalism to me! Now in the last couple of days, President Barrack Hussein Obama ( as his tormentors so affectionately like to refer to him) has got the hard end of christian fundamentalists all over the world (but more so in the U.S) for his purported indifference at the proposed construction of a mosque right next to the site of the fateful September the 11th bombings in New york city. Because of that, a recent survey shows that 18% of Americans surveyed think President Obama is a Muslim, many argue that he is not in that case worthy to hold office simply because they believe to

Confessions of a non+alcoholic!

Some time last year I decided after what was fast becoming a pretty obvious pattern of life, that I needed to try something new, something different, I needed an experiment of some sort, only this time i was the guinea pig. So after a few moments of thought, well a little bit less than that I came to my decision, never mind the stark nudity in the social consequences involved. What I had decided on was alcohol, yes I know that sounds very wrong especially if you are me from even the most acute of angles but then again yes, besides this was an experiment and I could add purely for research reasons, as the Japanese say each time they are hunting our precious whales. Now obviously I was a very new entrant in the market but my knowledge for the drug was not of a new born, I knew a thing or two and that came in handy. On the few occasions when the 'laboratory 'was in good order I asked only for what the not so ordinary twenty something year old would define as the "sexy"
