#Kuwait : Who is Musallam Al Barrack ?

Al Barrack in Yesterday's protest

The name of Kuwaiti MP Musallam Al Barrack made headlines yesterday in Kuwait as one of the callers to the Nation's Dignity March. He has been arrested yesterday and is accused of insulting the Prince of Kuwait.

Al Barrack is a member of the popular action bloc in the Kuwaiti Parliament . A veteran MP , I see Al Barrack popular in his area as he got votes in the latest parliamentary elections more than any other MP in his district "30,118" in the history of Kuwaiti parliamentary elections. 

From what I read in the past 48 hours I can not find any association with him and the Muslim brotherhood or Iran , the man seems to my Egyptian mindset as more of a reformist type. Al Barrack seems to defend public money and fights corruption in the government.
Kuwaiti Politicians and activists "We will not allow you" the famous chant heard in the Kuwaiti capital yesterday was actually inspired by Al Barrack's speech from couple of days ago in some gathering at the Well's public space. During the speech Al Barrack said "We will not allow you Prince"

Al Barrack was arrested and is currently being detained for 10 days pending investigations after he was accused of insulting Kuwait's prince !! Here is his twitter account 

And Egyptians catch up PSY’s Gangam style craze

Here is the Egyptian version of PSY’s Gangam style by DiSalata team. It is already successful and many Egyptians share it in social media.

Just as PSY speaks about the famous Gangam area’s lifestyle , DiSalata speaks about Egyptian lifestyle now.

The Ugly Return of the Black Cloud

Do you see this image ?? This NASA Satellite image !? It was taken on 19/10/2012. Do you see how the Nile Delta is overshadowed by some dark clouds !?

BY NASA

This is the infamous black cloud caused by the annual rice straw burning !! This year the black cloud is back by all its mighty force. As usual the government does nothing despite in time of Mubarak there were many suggestions on how to fight it and end it for once and for all in eco-friendly way !!
I believe one of the indications that our revolution has made it is when the Egyptian government acts in a proactive way and not a reaction way.
Thanks to Dr. Mostafa Hussein for the heads up 

#Kuwait : This is big change in the #Gulf "Updated"

There is a huge change taking place in the Gulf , after Bahrain , we got Kuwait and actually it is something expected.

At iconic Kuwait towers by @Al Rai Media

Hundreds of thousands Kuwaitis took the streets today in the capital in a rally that head to the parliament then to the Royal Palace to object the elections law proposed by the Prince.

This is really big rally by @Thariimb

The rally is called “Nation’s dignity” according to its organizers.

That controversial elections law is already refused by almost all political powers from Islamists “Muslim brotherhood and Salafists” to liberals to women to Shiites to Bedouins and Badoons as well. The protesters chanted “We will not allow you” tonight in reference to the Prince’s law.
According to some estimation , this rally could be by far the biggest political protest Kuwait has ever seen considering the population of Kuwait itself.

The letter is authentic ya People !!

I can not believe that some people are still debating that the Protocol letter sent by to president Morsi to Peres is fake one !! I just can not believe it !!
Guys the Egyptian presidency sent that letter , it is a protocol letter with the same form for all the countries in the world.

The Egyptian presidency already admitted that it was authentic and Yasser Ali , the official spokesperson of Presidency posted on his official Facebook Page on Thursday a copy of the protocol letter sent from the Egyptian presidency to the president of Peru with our new ambassador there and it is identical to the letter sent to Peres. 

The letter to Peruvian President

The letter to Israeli president

 You are shocked that the Islamist MB president who is raised in the brotherhood upon recognizing Israel as the Zionist entity which should be wiped , fine but do not accuse me of fabricating news please !! 

Many people are shocked by the language of the letter and they have too considering how the Muslim brotherhood involved in the Palestinian cause since 1948 yet I am not that shocked because honestly as a president I know that his language will not be different that much especially in this early stage of his rule.

In the end yes he called Peres a dear friend , I do not care if he calls Peres his buddy or baby but my problem is that Israel refuses to amend Camp David and it seems to be steal gas from Egyptian territorial sea !! 

#EgyConstitution : Let’s read the Draft-1

The constituent assembly issued the first draft of the constitution , the so-called revolution’s constitution online for public debate. Here is the first part of the draft constitution translated in to English by Ahmed Aboul Enein. The People’s assembly will be called “The Congress” and the Shura council will be called “The senates” Yes this is huge change !!!
I will not comment on the personal freedoms and religious freedoms now because it seems they are the tip of the ice-berg and what it is even worse has been hidden from public discussion. Here is a quick look to the President’s powers and articles in the upcoming constitution :

• There is no vice president position in the upcoming constitution, it is not mentioned at all despite it has been a stressing revolutionary demand for decades !! I want a vice president.
• Our political system is a presidential one !! It seems that the Muslim brotherhood feels and realizes that they may not get the majority of the parliament in the future.
• Double citizenships Egyptians can run for presidency so can Egyptians with double citizenships parents according to article no.136 that contradicts with the Constitutional declaration’s article no.27 that put a clear restriction on candidacy. Despite many believed it was a racist article yet I think it saved us from Hazem Salah Abu Ismail.
• The president can disband the parliament in case the parliament rejects his prime minister and cabinet twice according to article no.145 !!
• The president can appoint and fire army officers according to the law according to article no.149. Define “according to the law”

Remembering Mohamed Fawzi

My favoirte Fawzi´s shot in the summer 

Mohamed Fawzi was only 48 years old when he died on that died from 46 years ago. He died after giving the world music that Egyptians and Arabs still enjoy up till this moment.
As a composer and a singer Fawzi did not live that long but he presented music that proved to live decades and decades immortalizing him in our Egyptian history as one of the greatest Artists Egypt had seen in the 20th century. As an actor he was from the few cool funny guys that you can enjoy watching on screen.
Here is my favorite Fawzi’s song : Let’s fly my heart from the 1954 film “With you forever”
The fantastic legendary Hussein El Sayid wrote the lyric and music composed and performed by the amazing Fawzi. His voice was amazing and sweet in that song. By the way this was the first song I had downloaded as a MP3 from the famous old Mazika.com before it would be acquired by LinkDotNet

Regarding tahrir square and #Mubarak regime remnants

Today thousands of Non Islamist opposition supporters protested in Tahrir square against the constituent assembly and its proposed draft constitution. About 29 revolutionary party , movement and group took part in the protest which was called “Egypt is for all Egyptians , Egypt is not estate”.
Already a number of Mubarak /Shafik/ Omar Suleiman’s supporters including notorious Tawfik Okasha and Ahmed Zpider insisted to join this protest claiming that the square , the symbol of the revolution which they fought and attacked for the past year and half is for all Egyptians !!
Despite the revolutionary forces declared their complete refusal to have these supporters in the square in a statement issued on Thursday and despite the revolutionary protesters kicked them from the square today , there has been a huge debate about this topic in the past 48 hours.
“ We welcome all Egyptians in Tahrir square , We should stand against the Muslim brotherhood one hand…” are examples of what the Pro-Regime remnants , actually the pro-regime remnants said online.

Morsi’s letter to Peres is not Fake Dear MB

MB members and supporters are spreading lies that the amicable friendly letter President Mohamed Morsi of Egypt has sent to President Shimon Peres of Israel presented by the new Egyptian ambassador in Tel Aviv Atef Salem is fake.
It is not fake , here is the photo of the letter in Arabic shared by The Times of Israel’s journalist Raphael Ahron on twitter

The letter 

This is not fake. They say that the history is old ,well I think this letter was ready for whoever is the president.
I must share it on my blog.
I am not in the mood to discuss whether Morsi should call Peres a good and great friend  but it seems to me that the MB should stop lying to themselves before the public because they look so bad now , how can anyone trust them !?

Do not Feel sorry For that Racist !!

Today the Supreme council of Press has fired journalist Gamal Abdel Rahim from his position as he editor in chief of Al Gomhouria newspaper. He was fired because today the Front Page’s headline on Wednesday was as as follows :

The citadels of corruption fall
Banning Anan and Tantawy from Travel within hours
Accusing Gamal Mubarak , Ibrahim Kamel and Farouk El Okda of selling Egypt’s debts … and 650 celebs in front of the illicit gains authority

Later on Wednesday MENA , the official state agency published the following : An informed source denies the news about imposing a travel ban on Sami Anan and Mohamed Hussein Tantawy.
By afternoon the Supreme council of Press fired Abdel Rahim from his position after just two months after his appointment in that position.
