Egypt extends Emergency Rule by another 2 years

Egypt has been under emergency rule for almost 30 years. It has just been extended for another 2.

I shall say no more on this topic.

  3. I've found the blog by chance too, but I am an Egyptian... it's really interesting to see Egypt from a foreigner's point of view. As I read your blog I wish that Egypt could offer you and me and everyone living in it regardless of their religion or nationality something better. I hope that one day I would become truly proud of Egypt, and to see it associated with more than just "history" and "cats"... Keep posting..

  4. I noticed you mention Hany the photographer from Maadi. I lived there in 1997 and would like to see how he is. Could you please send me his email address or give him mine?
    I would very much appreciate it.
