Killing the Last Egyptian

Egyptian now can count 8 years of the 21st of Century passed of their life with no progress in the country at any front.

The Stupid person currently ruling Egypt is too old, and surrounded by people who are corrupted beyond recognition. He may seem to be ruling Egypt, but in fact corruption is now the King of Egypt.

Since the beginning of 2008 Egyptian faced a new method of humiliation. Instead of grapping people and torturing them on police stations or in the desert, as it happened with a newspaper writers few years ago. They are pushed to the wall to peg for bread.

Historically Egyptian accustomed to eat bread with every meal, since it is the cheapest form of food an Egyptian afford. In some cases they only can afford bread without any supplement. Now, they are faced with the punishing reality of being unable to buy it from the approved outlets by the government. They are pushed to buy it from the gray market, or stand in endless queues for many hours to buy limited quantities.

The problem highlighted with the death of at least 10 Egyptian nationals while trying to buy enough bread to feed their hunger. 10 innocent lives been lost due the government lack of leadership and inefficient management of the economy. Egypt is not a poor country by any means, but the Egyptian economy is badly managed for decades and we can see the results clearly on the streets of Cairo.

The 80 years individual who ruled Egypt unopposed (by force) for the last 25+ years asked the government to fix the problem. The interesting part of his argument, that bread will stay subsidized by the government in order to help the poor to feed themselves.

But the problem facing the 80 million Egyptian is of his own making in order to force them to forget all their rights and only think about one thing “Bread”. He is trying to simulate what the formula applied by rich gulf countries, providing citizens with everything in return for abidingness. The stupid man decided to do similar, but in reverse, he is taking everything from Egyptians to force them to abide to his ruling.

Stupid Dictator named Hosni Muburark

In Egypt now, they have a raging debate about subsidies which according the government led by Muburark cost more than what Egypt spend on Education and Health.The dictator went on TV to say that he wanted to have a debate about subsides and how it can be delivered to the poor. Now, mostly consumed by the well off people in Egypt.

He and his government know for sure that they can’t keep giving hand out to the well off Egyptian, while the poor has nothing left to them. Expect miserable hospitals and ailing education system. But as everyone knows that Mubuark is a weak leader and has no leadership skills of any sort, and also as old man of nearly 80 years of age. We really can’t expect anything from him.

The current subsidies paid by the Egyptian tax payer, as their future saving (retirement funds). The stupid man and his staff think no one will notice that by dipping their hand in money saved by the millions of sweating Egyptians, they are subjecting a whole country to permanent bankruptcy.

The current local debt ratio to GDP is around 100%, if we include another $30 billion of external debt. We can notice what sort of crisis the government working hard to make sure it will happen, and will lead to dire consequences to every single Egyptian, regardless of their social standing.

The global price of food is now at a record high, and it is expected to see more rises in the coming years. Regardless of the hyped talk of the government about the %7 growth rate, we have inflation eating any real increase in the incomes of working people; we are not talking about people on pension.

Keeping subsidies in its current format is destroying the future of Egypt. Moreover, it doesn’t present any real benefits to hard working Egyptians. Imagine that the hard working Egyptian paying subsidies to nearly 10 million tourists, massive number of refugees (around 4 million), well paid foreign diplomats, and Egyptian millionaires.

Stupidity of a President

Since 1952 Egypt had 4 presidents, 3 of them enjoyed popular support. But the most important aspect of their popularity, that they had 2 important features.

1. Personal Charisma
2. Big idea or what people can call “Dream”

The current president is the longest serving president in the history of the Egyptian Republic. 26 years, he enjoys no popular support expect within his corrupt ruling party (assuming hypocrisy is called support). He lacks the two aspects that are important to be a leader (Charisma, Big Idea).

Looking at the current president presentation delivery technique, anyone will simply get board (very board). He doesn’t like to go outside his scripted speech, rarely he do and you can see the lack of training very obvious. As he fails with A grade to have any cohesion or linkage of ideas. Moreover, the way he use his body language (especially the hands) is very poor.

The current US president had many issues when he first started, but with coaching, you can see significant change on his presentation delivery techniques. Compared to the Egyptian president, and after 26 years on power, he still fails miserably.

The first Egyptian president (Served for very short time) wanted to have democratic Egypt, with liberal values, the second president wanted to see Egypt with strong economy and powerful military, the third president did liberate Egyptian land, signed a peace treaty and opened the Egyptian economy (regardless of his pitfalls).

The current president simply didn’t do anything, since has no dream or any idea to bring.

For the last 26 years, Egyptian been told that the president support the poor, but the poor now worse than before, the middle class squeezed to the maximum. The rich and corrupt benefited massively from the current regime.

The rule of law in Egypt is nowhere to be seen, you can do anything illegally and nothing will happen to you. Only if you mention politics you may get in trouble. The infrastructure is bit better but still in bad condition considering the amount of money spent over 26 years to fix it. The economy finally started to pick up some steam from foreign investment, but the question remains.

Why the current economic reforms didn’t happen 26 years ago, 20 years ago or even 15 years ago. The president in Egypt got all the powers and he can change or start anything whenever he wants regardless of what the opponents will say.

After 26 years of having stupid president, that has nothing to offer. I think it is time for him to step down.

I do wish the next the president which will come once God remember the people of EgyptEgypt. misery to have big dream for

Egypt has everything to be great country, it has highly educated people. It has people who love their country and willing to work hard for the country to be better. Yes, Egypt doesn’t have massive oil or gas reserves, neither do Japan or Singapore. It is matter of having a leader with a dream and determination to change the current grim face of Egypt.

Hosni Muburak and the Internet?

During the first presidential election in Egypt, the current president was portrayed as young, aware of what is going around him.

It was due a campaign led by his younger son Mr. Gamal Muburak. Funny enough, the people behind the campaign constructed well designed website. Moreover, they have added submit your thoughts to the president.

As I’m aware, the president now counting the days to celebrate his 80’s birthday. I really doubt that he ever touched a computer during his time as a president or even before that. Yes, they keep showing him on the glorious Egyptian TV opening many projects full of computers. But, it remind me of one Egyptian movie where the lady was looking something on her laptop, but the camera showed that she is using Microsoft XP help window.

I’m really wondering, how a country with the massive human wealth as Egypt. With nearly half or more of its population are young. Can be ruled by something like the current president and his corrupted crew.

Egypt the pivotal country in its region, stand like an old man who can’t react to very fast changing world. When a county with the sheer size of Egypt, being ruled for last 26 years by single, corrupt and isolated person like the current president. Who was raised in the army, with friends, no charisma, but also doesn’t relate to the modern world.

Hosni Mubarak Friends

I still do remember it like yesterday. Nicolae Ceauşescu meeting our current Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak in the Romanian capital and Mr. Hosni Mubarak declaring that one his close friends around the world is Mr. Ceauşescu. The Ceauşescus were executed by Captain Ionel Boeru and two fellow soldiers for his crimes against the Romanian population.

16th of June 2007 Robert Mugabe the dictator of Zimbabwe meets the Egyptian dictator in Cairo. What a funny coincident, where dictators meets each other.

I personally wonder what each country can learn from one another. Both countries are under the rule of one party, which controls all aspect of life in their respective countries. Both are miserably underdeveloped, corrupt and both leaders are hated from their people.

More interesting fact where both countries suffering from inflation. With Zimbabwe taking the world lead and the US ambassador to the country predicting inflation to reach 1000,000% by the end of the year. Egypt president may learn one of two lessons from his Zimbabwean counterpart on how to make his people suffer till death.

I just can’t stop thinking, what a future awaits Egypt, when all of our current dictator friends are of the sort of Mr. Ceauşescu and Mr. Mugabe.

Today Egypt corrupt regime is holding another Mickey Mouse election. Where the party that ran the country for the last 30-40 years depending on the way you count, is looking to win all seats that are open for such contest.

Interesting enough, the government keeps saying that it won’t interfere on the election. Flicking around the internet and reading some of the government own newspaper published on the internet. You would notice deep bias toward the government and how it runs the election. It is nearly impossible to read one single negative comment published in allegedly “National Newspaper”.

I’m eagerly waiting to see the attendance ratio “1-5%”, but with the ministry of interior. I guess it will go up to 20-30%. With all seats won by the National Democratic party!. I put the challenge for anyone in the Egyptian government to hold an election on a Saturday, where people are in public holiday as other countries. I guess the attendance ratio would be 0-1%.

What to do if you have no hope!

In a country full of unemployed and plenty of underemployed youth, they found themselves getting older but they are not progressing with their dreams.

The majority still living with your families, which still represent the foundation of society that are getting very tired and depressed.

Reading the accident page on any of Egypt newspaper and you will be shocked to see the sheer amount of violence growing in the Egyptian society. A country traditionally known for its kind smiley population.

You would read that a father killed his entire family for being unable to feed them, another about high school student committing suicide for failing in subject. That is without counting how many women raped daily.

Whose is responsible for allowing country like Egypt to do downhill and let Egypt bright population lose hope in their future and only see bleak future waiting them?

It is our current dictator and his thugs
