Algeria cuts diplomatic relations with the UAE today because of the UAE's interference in foreign affairs and support for separatist movements and groups that threaten Algeria's borders

Translated from ArabicWhen are we going to remove the industrial activities that are damaging the archaeological areas in al-Gamaliya instead of evicting residents to other places? First, we should look at the noisy, heavy workshops — the presses and power hammers that are smashing and bringing down the monuments — and the people who are turning the monuments into storage spaces!!! There is one sheet-metal worker who parks his metal on an Islamic monument until he has carved away the wall!!! And there is a hydraulic hammer set up right in front of the al-Gami Mosque; all its stones have come loose, and it is propped up with scaffolding!!! What a sight, I swear — a sabil and a kuttab hundreds of years old!!! And there are people around us who, when they find a piece of wood 70 years old, turn it into a museum!!!
Translated from ArabicAre there any demolitions in Tora ???
Translated from ArabicI really don't understand how Reham Saeed is still working in Egypt and how she hasn't been canceled after all these ethical and professional crimes. Isn't there a syndicate to stop people like this? Isn't there an authority in Egypt responsible for this, one that checks guests' identities, searches their phones, takes photos from them, and causes a female guest to be disfigured with a knife (the Mall Girl)? The scandal of the fabricated child-abduction episode!!! The scandal of the Lebanon episode. The scandal of the wild-hunting episode. Her comments about obesity and fat people!!! All this, and there are still sleazy channels giving her programs!!! Where are the human-rights advocates, feminists, and activists of all sizes and kinds??? I remember that I managed to stop her for a while with the hashtag موتي يا ريهام in 2015, but she came back again! She definitely has an audience; there are people who like watching filth, like Ramez Galal's audience, but there should be an entity to stop people like this!!!

Translated from ArabicDear Hossam Abdel Fattah, Governor of Qalyubia, we all, dear, spend on the state!!! And we don't take anything from it..
Translated from ArabicA lot of people ask me why the Sarah Khalifa case received international coverage from the BBC, CNN, The Guardian, etc. My modest analysis is a few points: a Third World Islamic state, a death sentence, a famous figure, a woman rather than a man who hosted a program about crime, synthetic drugs, a global rather than merely local epidemic, the huge quantity of drugs reminding us of Escobar and El Chapo, and reminding us of Breaking Bad and Narcos. Drugs have become mainstream in global drama, and productions about Colombian and Mexican traffickers have started being made. I wouldn't rule out a drama being made as a result, like the Mexican series La Reina del Sur, which had an American version made because of its great success, especially since she is a woman and this kind of thing plays well with woke and Gen Z kids
Translated from ArabicThe catalog room of the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir: the ceiling is leaking water, and they’ve put plastic sheeting over the cabinets—something truly shameful in the era of the Grand Egyptian Museum
Translated from ArabicSo many accounts have flooded Facebook, and every one of them, mashallah, is a bunch of horned cucks, saying they're filming Cairo's beauty after its redevelopment. Film yourselves at a funeral, you sons of bitches, you and the ones staging you!!! Did people really believe that??? Paving over Cairo, uprooting its trees, and planting a few grasses and palms with no shade, and they tell you: Oh, beautiful Egypt. Blindness upon you, you cuck, one and all; spit on this whoredom!!!

Translated from ArabicApparently, Masr El Gedida has no one to mourn it. Its trees were cut down completely. Not a single filthy son of a whore opened his mouth; now they are crying over the engineers..
Translated from ArabicThere was one guy we propped up with Gaddafi’s money, who lived off Saddam’s barrels and sent his party’s young people to conferences in the Bekaa Valley with Hezbollah, not to mention his ties with Hafez al-Assad and Bashar al-Assad, his visits to Syria and Libya, and the debauchery under the guise of “steadfastness and resistance”—the rusty kind. Then there were his men who used to get caught with bags of dollars at the border on their way back. And yet you call him a political opposition figure, an ordinary opposition figure just like us, and some of you even defend him. Oh, you asses, you shitheads, every one of you—you’ve brutalized little kids who haven’t done even a tenth of this filthy, mafioso, fascist, scummy history. That’s because anyone who digs into it finds that you’re all the same: fascist, mafiosi mercenaries.
Translated from ArabicPiers Morgan is hosting one of the whores from the whorish Taliban leadership, and he tells him: You banned girls from getting an education. He says: Yes. He says: Then where are your daughters? He says: In Qatar! What are they doing? Studying!!!!!! Have you seen the bearded whores and all those who follow them!

Translated from ArabicThat's how the Brotherhood is: they bring us people out of the sewers. Any son of a bitch who crawls out of some cesspit and pretends to be an opposition figure gets the Brotherhood cheering him on like crazy. Even the National Sadness Party people and Mubarak's people saddled us with all kinds of fuckers, and every one of these lowlifes finds the Brotherhood cheering him on and thinks he's a genuine activist.
Translated from Arabic (Egypt)A television drama, but a very important one, produced in 1989, meaning after the events at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. It discusses radioactive pollution and its impact on Third World countries. We see Egyptian newspaper headlines exposing disasters in the handling of radioactive materials during that period without oversight, such as oil companies burying those materials without oversight. Maybe I wrote some time ago about a Brazilian series on the same subject, but it was about real events. The truth is that the Egyptian television drama is well written, but the execution needed more suspense and action than that. I think there is an opportunity to remake it as a more exciting and mature film, although the censorship environment will not allow it, especially since the drama touches on the role of the press in exposing what is hidden and officials’ attempts to downplay the dangers and cover up the risks.
Translated from ArabicWe exposed the crimes of demolishing the cemetery and documented the art and antiquities there, but this did not stop the state from carrying out the massacre, and the cemetery was destroyed in violation of the law, the constitution, and everything that protects antiquities and heritage. We protested against taking land from the nature reserves and turning it into compounds, and now the reserves are on their way to disappearing. The Petrified Forest has become construction projects on all four sides, along with shops and services, and Wadi Degla has been cut up into highways, major roads, and compounds in violation of the law, the constitution, and everything that protects the environment. Even in the new residential areas that have their own laws and regulations, there are threats of military trials, aerial photography, and intimidation through the reconciliation law, which has become the way out for the corrupt. One of these brazen men managed to build a six-story tower in the middle of a distinguished villa neighborhood whose owners had paid the state for that distinction, in exchange for a park and an upscale neighborhood. The park is being turned into a mall, a school, and a nursery, while their neighbor behaves like a savage and builds an ugly tower in their midst. He kept building it for eight years while the state pretended to be asleep and unaware, and so on and so forth, with poor performances by the authority and the police: they bring chairs, sit down, and tear off a piece of the ceiling for him (in the voice of Abdullah Musharraf). In the end he keeps going anyway and harms his neighbors; the harm consists of noise and continuous waste for years, the fire hazard that actually occurred, construction and encroachment on the neighbors’ walls, and building rooms on top of them!!! Even though we thought that building setbacks were something sacred!!! All of this indicates that we are in a stage where there is no hope and nothing can stop the deterioration, whether law, constitution, or even morality, and that the harm is not just far away in the cemetery or the reserves; no, it has reached our homes!!! Because the people in charge are themselves the ones who lie to us and put on an act for us!!!
Translated from ArabicThis guy Muath Alyan needs someone to deal with him. Someone should look into what sewer he comes from and how he is being allowed to continue like this. He is enthusiastically stirring up sectarian strife, claiming that Christian hospitals kidnap children. Talk like that will drive the country to ruin. Find someone respectable to respond to this filth.
Translated from Arabic (Egypt)From the inbox: Esteemed Mr. Wael Abbas. I appeal to you with this plea for help, after the avenues have narrowed for me and I have found no one to do me justice or respond to my suffering. After God Almighty, my hope is that my voice will reach the decision-makers through your program and page, so that perhaps God will make you a means of alleviating my suffering and obtaining my right to treatment. I am the son of one of the heroes of the October 6 War (Colonel Abdel Raouf Mousa Emara, one of the veterans), and I live in difficult health and humanitarian circumstances. I applied three times to obtain my right to treatment, and each time the result was (not eligible): the first committee, 09/03/23, neurology and neurosurgery... not eligible... the second, 18/05/23, neurology and neurosurgery... not eligible... the third, 24/06/23, vascular medicine... not eligible... Please note that I receive my veteran father's pension (an old pension) based on the following. 1- Recurrent clots in the left lobe of the brain, one symptom of which is a degree of disability in the right hand. 2- Damage to the blood vessels that led to a degree of disability in the left hand. 3- Diabetes. Second... I applied for a card for children of veterans at the veterans' headquarters in Agouza, and the responsible lieutenant colonel's response was that I was not entitled to obtain it. He added that if I had an old card or my veteran father's card, I had to surrender them or else I would face a military trial. A veteran's son has no right to the card. How? I do not understand. Third... I applied for an integrated services card. The result was that the patient does not suffer from any disability, even though the doctor did not conduct the examination. I filed a grievance, and when I was presented to the doctor, he did not conduct the examination and told me: After a month, go to the office through which you came so that you can learn the result. My response to him was: What result, sir? You did not examine me. Please examine me. He refused and refrained from performing his duty. I submitted a complaint to the Cabinet (١٢٩٤٩٦٥٦), and their response was as follows. (We inform you that the person mentioned has the right to appeal the decision of non-eligibility for the inherited pension or disability before the competent medical arbitration committees (and the medical arbitration committee for the son or brother unable to earn, the insured person, is held in the insurance district in the capital of each governorate), in accordance with what was stated in the "Social Insurance and Pensions Law No. 148 of 2019. What does my complaint have to do with this response? Please help me convey my complaint to the officials, and accept my utmost respect and appreciation. Thank you. Muhammad Abdel Raouf Mousa Emara
