Zoeil is married to either a Jordanian or a Syrian. Either way Zoeil spent about 5 chapters of his book complaining about his ex wife and a good chunk of 2 chapters professing this belief that Egyptian women are the lowest of Arab women.

He spends half his book discussing his life and his work, 1/10 of it talking about brain drain's effect on Egypt, another 1/10 discussing Egypt's future, and the rest bitching about his ex-wife.

Zoeil has hit his peak for this profession, now if he would just drowned in a bath tub he'd be better off.

Weeks later, they finally put a Travel Ban on Mubarak and his family today. Why now?

حالة من الجدل تنتاب الأوساط الحقوقية عقب الإعلان عن موافقة المجلس الأعلى للقوات المسلحة عن التعديلات التي أدخلتها اللجنة التشريعية المشكلة برئاسة المستشار طارق البشري ما بين مؤيد ومعارض لتلك التعديلات
فرحبت مؤسسة ماعت للسلام والتنمية وحقوق الإنسان برئاسة أيمن عقيل بما انتهت إليه لجنة تعديل الدستور من صياغة جديدة لتسعة مواد دستورية ، خاصة المواد المنظمة لانتخاب رئيس الجمهورية (75-76-77 )، وكذلك المواد المتعلقة بالإشراف على انتخابات مجلس الشعب (88 ) ، والمادة (93) المعنية بالفصل في عضوية أعضاء المجلس وقالت ماعت في بيان أصدرته اليوم الأثنين بأن التعديلات جاءت متوافقة مع رؤيتها التي قدمتها بعد تشكيل اللجنة في تقرير مفصل تم نشره منذ أسبوعين، والذي أكدت فيه على ضرورة أن لا يكون التعديل مانعا لحق مواطن في ترشيح نفسه طالما توافرت فيه الشروط وطالبت ماعت بضرورة طرح التعديلات الدستورية للنقاش العام قبل طرحها للاستفتاء ، لضمان استيعابها من قبل المواطنين وعلى الجانب الأخر أعلن المركز المصري للحقوق الاقتصادية والاجتماعية برئاسة المحامى خالد علي عن تأييده للعديد من التعديلات التي قامت بها اللجنة وترحيبه بها مثل فترات الرئاسة، ومدتها، وطريقة إعلان حالة الطوارئ أو مدها،واختلافه مع بعض المقترحات التي أعلنتها اللجنة، وطالب المصري للحقوق السياسية والإقتصادية المجلس العسكري بحث تلك المقترحات والاستجابة إليها وذكر المركز أن يختلف مع ما ورد بالمادة 75 من اشتراط عدم زواج المرشح الرئاسي من غير مصرية فهذا الشرط يخالف مبادئ المحكمة الدستورية التي قضت في الحكم رقم 23 لسنة 16 قضائية بعدم دستورية البند السادس من المادة 73 من قانون مجلس الدولة والتي كانت تشترط على من يعين بالقضاء ألا يكون متزوجا من أجنبية حيث أكدت المحكمة أن اختيار الزوج جزء من الحرية الشخصية التي لا يجوز تقيدها ووصفت مثل هذا الشرط بأنه يهدر الحق في المساواة بين المواطنين والحق في تكافوء الفرص بينهما، وبالتالي قضت بعدم دستوريته، ومن ثم لا يقبل وضع مثل هذا القيد في نص دستوري على حق من الحقوق العامة.

وأضاف المركز في بيان أصدره صباح اليوم أن التعديلات المقترحة على المادة 75 جعلت الحد الأدنى لسن الترشيح لمنصب رئاسة الجمهورية 40 سنة، كما أنها لم تضع حد أقصى لسن المرشح، والأصل الدستوري أنه لا يجوز الفصل بين حقي الانتخاب والترشيح باعتبارهما حقين متلازمين فمن يملك حق الانتخاب يملك حق الترشيح مشددا على أنه لاينبغي على اللجنة الخروج عن الأصل العام والاستناد إلى تقديرات أعضائها واقترح المركز ألا يقل سن المرشح عند تقديم أوراق الترشيح عن 35 سنة حتى نفتح الباب لقاعدة أوسع من المواطنين، ولما كانت مدة الرئاسة فى التعديلات المقترحة محددة بأربع سنوات نقترح النص فى المادة 75 على ألا يزيد سن المرشح وقت تقديم أوراق الترشيح عن 66 سنة وذلك حتى لا يتجاوز عمر رئيس الجمهورية 70 عاما.

واقترح المصري للحقوق الاقتصادية والاجتماعية أيضا حذف النص الخاص باشتراط قبول أوراق الترشيح لانتخابات رئاسة الجمهورية تأييد ثلاثون عضوا من مجلسي الشعب والشورى لطلب المرشح، أو تأييد ما لا يقل عن ثلاثين ألف مواطن من خمس عشرة محافظة من المادة 76 والاكتفاء بالاكتفاء بما ورد من شروط في المادة 75 وأن نترك للشعب المفاضلة بين المرشحين عبر الانتخابات، فلا يجب أن نثقل الحق في الترشيح بالعديد من القيود التي تقلص دائرة الاختيار بين الناخبين، وان نلتزم بالأصل العام بأن من يملك حق الانتخاب يملك حق الترشيح، ولا نخرج على هذا الأصل إلا في أضيق الحدود كما رفض المركز ما ذهبت إليه المادة 76 من جعل قرارات اللجنة المشرفة على الانتخابات الرئاسية نهائية ونافذة بذاتها وغير قابله للطعن عليها، وطالب بعدم تحصين أي عمل أو قرار عن رقابة القضاء فمهما كانت المهام التي تقوم بها اللجنة، ومهما كان تقديرنا لأعضائها -المحددين بطريقة موضوعية في المقترحات- فمن غير المقبول إهدار الحق في التقاضي باعتباره أهم صورة من صور الرقابة الشعبية لضمان صحة ونزاهة العملية الانتخابية.

واختلف المركز أيضا مع الفقرة الأولى من المادة 88 التي نصت على عرض القانون المنظم للانتخابات الرئاسية على المحكمة الدستورية قبل إقراره، وهو ما يعنى انحياز اللجنة للرقابة الدستورية السابقة على إقرار القانون وشدد المركز على أن من شأن ذلك أن يحصن القانون من إمكانية الطعن على نصوصه أمام المحكمة الدستورية العليا.

كما اختلف المركز مع الفقرة الأخيرة من المادة 88 أيضا والتي تنص على إجراء الاقتراع والفرز تحت إشراف أعضاء من الهيئات القضائية وهو ما يتيح إشراف أعضاء من هيئة قضايا الدولة على عمليات الانتخاب الأمر الذي لا يستقيم مع طبيعة وظيفة أعضائها كمحامين للحكومة يتولوا الدفاع عنها أمام المحاكم.

ولفت المركز إلى رفضه الشديد للتعديل الحادث على المادة 93 من الدستور والتى أحالت للمحكمة الدستورية الفصل في صحة عضوية أعضاء مجلس الشعب مؤكدا أنه من الملائم أن يترك أمر الفصل في مثل هذه المنازعات للمحكمة الإدارية العليا أو لمحكمة النقض، وأن تظل الدستورية العليا تمارس مهامها برقابة دستورية القوانين، والتفسير، وتنازع الاختصاص، دون أن نثقلها بمهام أخرى كما طالب المركز بتعديل المادة 139 لكي يتم انتخاب نائب رئيس الجمهورية شأنه شأن الرئيس، وطالب المركز بإلغاء ما جاء في المادة 189 والتي جعلت تشكيل الجمعية التأسيسية لوضع الدستور من مائة عضو من أعضاء مجلسي الشعب والشورى من غير المعينين، وطالب المركز بأن تكون الجمعية التأسيسية من الكفاءات التي تمثل جميع القوى السياسية والاجتماعية والثقافية والدينية وكافة الفئات والمهن، فمن ناحية فقد لا تكون كل هذه الأطياف ممثلة في المجلسين، ومن ناحية ثانية فهذه التعديلات ستجعل القوى السياسية صاحبة الأغلبية في المجلسين تنفرد بوضع الدستور وانتقد المركز تجاهل التعديلات المقترحة وضع تعديلات تكفل وتضمن حق المصريين في الخارج في التصويت سواء عبر الاستفتاءات العامة أو الانتخابات العامة.

واختتم المركز بيانه بالتأكيد على أن الدستور الحالي يحتاج إلى تغيير كامل.

Postponed reopening the Bourse again.
I think they just have to suck it and see. They did say that they would stop trading at particular levels and whenever they open it, there will probably be a drop.
GM Egypt are proposing to invest $175million

http://www.almasryalyoum.com/en/news/general-motors-egypt-invest-175-million-economy-takes-stock

Some foreign investors are looking to buy cheap because stocks bought when other countries have been revolutions have done extremely well so it might not be as drastic as some think after the first few rocky days.

The decision to freeze former President Hosni Mubarak and his family’s assets and ban him and his family from traveling abroad was based on a complaint filed by Mustafa Bakri against Mubarak and his acquisition of wealth, said Head of Giza Criminal Court Mohammed Abdel Latif Hamza.

Hamza did not rule out the possibility that suspicions raised over the Bibliotheca Alexandrina’s funds, which were registered in the name of Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak, could also be a major reason for the decision. He said Mubarak would likely be charged with of profiteering and facilitating the acquisition of public funds.

Hamzah went on to say that he expected Mubarak to face three to five years of hard labor and that his two, Alaa and Gamal, would be considered partners in crime for exploiting their father’s influence as president of the country. Hamza said he expects the investigations to reveal forged documents.

Meanwhile, law expert Shawky al-Sayed said the Attorney General’s decision affirms that no one is above the law, including the former president and his family, and that it is a natural result of an awakening national consciousness.

Al-Sayed said that Mubarak is expected to be convicted of smuggling money abroad and of abusing his influence, which are criminal rather than political offenses. He went on to say that if convicted of committing state security crimes in Egypt and abroad, Mubarak may be exposed to even higher penalties.

Translated from the Arabic Edition.

Plenty of donkeys and carts here, nice sugar cane fields he can work in from 4am we can even supply a nice dirty galabaya [Big Grin]

Further down the Nile a few quarries they can break rocks in [Big Grin]

We could have them learn to carve granite statues of wael ghonim and I think one of the famous (now) pic of the boy on the roof with the flag [Big Grin] (love that pic!)

Re the Bourse and fears of small investors losing everything - I'm sure they could come up with some kind of plan - eg define 'small investor' fix a value date from before the revolution - say I don't know, January 24th, have the government buy their shares at that price, then give small investors the opportunity to buy the shares back at that price in say 1 year's time + a % of any increase in value above that price say what they could get in a deposit account.
Of course, define small investor! I have no idea what the typical investment by individuals in the Egyptian stock market is. Or maybe make it a protection of 75% of the value of the stocks at a given date.
They do need to open up and start letting things find their market price and whenever they do it, it is likely to fall initially.

They didn't have a choice but to freeze Mubarak's assets because there is a group of prominent lawyers who started legal actions even a week or so before he stepped down. Alyoum Alsabe3 published documents that shows Mubarak transferring 620 Million dollars to a swiss account on February 07,2011.
They are exposing their assets right around the world and the Egyptian authority have no choice but to investigate their claims.

أقام عدد من المواطنين دعاوى قضائية أمام محكمة القضاء الإدارى ضد اللجنة القضائية المكلفة بتعديل بعض مواد الدستور برئاسة المستشار طارق البشري ، يطالبون فيها بإلغاء التعديل الذى إقترحته اللجنة لإلغاء شرط ازدواج الجنسية أوالزواج من أجنبية فى مقترحات التعديل الدستورى وقانون مباشرة الحقوق السياسية للشروط الواجب توافرها فى مرشحى انتخابات الرئاسة، وانتخابات مجلس الشعب القادمة، وطالب المواطنون بأحقية مزدوجى الجنسية فى خوض انتخابات الرئاسة، وحق المصريين المقيمين بالخارج فى الإدلاء بأصواتهم فى الانتخابات التشريعية خارج البلاد.
وشدد المواطنون في دعاويهم على أنه ليس من المقبول معاقبة الذين يرغبون فى خدمة بلادهم والعودة إليها من حق الترشيح لانتخابات الرئاسة ومجلس الشعب بدعوى ازدواج الجنسية، أو الزواج من سيدة أجنبية أوتحمل الجنسية الأجنبية، رغم توافر الشروط الأخرى عليه.
كما طالبوا في دعاويهم المجلس الأعلى للقوات المسلحة بمراعاة حق المصريين المغتربين فى الإدلاء بأصواتهم فى الانتخابات البرلمانية والرئاسية وعدم حرمانهم من مباشرة حقوقهم السياسية إرساء لمبدأ الديمقراطية فى المرحلة الجديدة.

Planned Tahrir demo for allegedly assaulted US reporter sparks controversy

http://www.almasryalyoum.com/en/node/337208

I have to agree with Arwa and her comment...

“I would love to see this group fighting [sexual] harassment and not promoting the fact the one foreigner was assaulted,” wrote one female commentator by the name of Arwa Atef Shalaby.

“We all get assaulted; it happens everywhere to all of us. No girl in Egypt or any country was not harassed by a guy. I think that’s just life, there are perverts all over the world it has nothing to do with the revolution.”

Ironic that people should plan a demo to protest about a journalist getting felt up.
In the past 8 years or so, in Iraq and elswhere, reporters have been routinely slaughtered [in a friendly way] and no doubt any protests would be viewed as 'insurgence' and result in another massacre.
And so it goes... different strokes..

Yes, you're right Dalia, it is an exaggeration, but I do think that this idea is like a slap in the face to every Egyptian woman who has encountered harassment, and it's mostly ignored.

Probably. But the image of him in court will be priceless.

30 years in power, there must be a paper trail. A decent prosecutor with resources can nail him. Heck the prosecutor can even make a deal with a smaller fish to rat out the tyrant.

So whether he says anything or not is irrelevant. The point is he will be in court for corruption and for an Egyptian/Arab president I think that's unprecedented.

المثير أن قيادات بالمجلس الأعلى للقوات المسلحة كانت تشاهد الحلقة على الهواء مباشرة، وتأكدت حينها من ضعف شخصية أحمد شفيق وعدم قدرته على إدارة الحوار، وافتقاده لأدوات الرجل السياسي، كما كشفت الحلقة عن حجم الغضب الشعبي الكبير نحوه، فصدر قرارا بإقالته من منصبه وتكليف د. عصام شرف لرئاسة الحكومة بدلا منه.

Sources say that the supreme council of the armed forces were watching the program live on TV and decided to fire him when they saw him lose his temper. About time.......

كشف مصدر قضائي للدستور الأصلي، فضل عدم ذكر اسمه، عن أن هناك عدد كبير من القضاة قد قرروا الدخول في إضراب مفتوح عن العمل في جميع محاكم مصر وفي جميع النيابات في حال استمرار تولي المستشار ممدوح مرعي منصب وزير العدل، حيث ترددت أنباء عن استقبال عصام شرف رئيس الوزراء الجديد للمستشار ممدوح مرعي وزير العدل، وهو ما فسر بوجود نية لاستمراره في الوزارة.


Next comes the interior minister.

What a weasel. Like he didn't know what had been taken. They could have at least released descriptions to try to intercept them when they went out of the country.

Can't believe I liked him. I feel cheated. I don't think resignation is quite enough myself.

This is great news. Policing university campuses should never ever be relegated to the ministry of interior again.

I believe No country in the world will be able to bear all these protestings, demonstartions in month period. we need a fire cease. we need patience.


SHAME on Thawragia( revolutionaries). Can't you stop for a while to re-organize the stuff again.


Counrty is now driven by Thawragia without any leadership or stop [Mad]

Enjoy a lovely retirement, Dr. Hawass. You have been an excellent egyptologist - with sometimes a fiercy tongue. It's on other people now to protect and maintain Egypt's historical treasures; many more will be found in the future.

Thank you for all of your achievements.

Gamal Mubarak attempted suicide with poisoned tea

Who comes up with such a stupid sh#t????

Seriously it's just as dumb as it was claimed that the older Mubarak fell into a coma right after resignation.

Hawass was a civil servant and nothing more. The Nefertiti Bust is an eternal antiquity that belongs to Egypt. I could very imagine a responsible German government being more accommodating to a democratic Egypt.

Well as long as the protests last the economy incl. tourism will be in the gutter.

Instead of changing and changing again heads in the government, people should let start ministers to work on some progress.

And hence elections have to be organized, parties need to be formed. Possible candidates have to be able to displays their agendas with enough time so people are sure who to vote for.

If not carefully managed Egypt will go from one fiasco into another one.

Million Woman March scheduled for Tuesday

Because women were left off the committee to revise the constitution, many worry that their demands will not be heard in a post-Mubarak Egypt. In order to prevent that, a number of activists--men and women--are planning a Million Woman March for 3PM on Tuesday, 8 March (which is also International Women's Day) in Tahrir Square.

"This is a continuation of the revolution," said one of the organizers, Aalam Wassef last night in Tahrir, where he planned to spend the night. "We don't fear that women will be left out, we know they will be," said Wassef. The highlighting of women's rights, according to Wassef, builds upon the solidarity that was a major characteristic of the revolution, and also, most believe, a key to its success. "Everyone participated," Wassef said. "Everything was celebrated."

Yasmine Khalifa, an AUC graduate student in Womens Studies and another organizer, chimed in: "The slogan during the revolution was political, but it was also about solidarity."

Women's rights are a natural topic now that Mubarak has resigned and Egyptians can focus on more specific issues. One thing that Wassef and Khalifa are concerned about, and that will be highlighted in the Million Woman March, is the scrutiny of martyr Sally Zahran. In the photo of Zahran widely circulated following her murder, which has become a symbol of the regime's brutality, she is unveiled. According to Wassef and Khalifa, many criticize her for that, as well as bring into question the specifics of her death: was she really in Tahrir? That kind of suspicion is not something that either activist has witnessed being leveled on male martyrs, and is something they plan to address on Tuesday. "A martyr is a martyr, full stop," Wassef said. "With Sally, it became a question of character," added Khalifa.

On Tuesday, signs carried by protesters will celebrate women on an individual basis--as a sign-holder's sister, mother, or daughter--as well as the collective desires of Egyptian women. Foremost among those (which include demands of the revolution as a whole, like the ending of Emergency Law) are the abolishment of Article 2 of the constitution, which cites sharia law as the main source of legislation. In a religious government, women's rights are nullified, said Wassef and Khalifa.

The march will be women saying, "We are together, we are united. We are women who stand together, "Khalifa said. During the revolution, "We felt it. We lived it. And now it will be verbalized," said Wassef.

The Million Woman March will mark the beginning of a stretch devoted to the advancement of women's rights in Egypt, an ongoing cause punctuated by International Women's Day as well as Egyptian Women's Day (16 March) and Mother's Day (22 March). The march is being organized on the Facebook page, "Women for Democracy."

Seems fighting has broken out, both here in Cairo and in Alexandria, at the um... can't remember the name, the headquarters for the place that's like the CIA. Gamina et dowla? I'm sure I'm not getting that right.

We have been able to hear some type of gun shots (or cannon or tear gas or whatever) off and on for the last several hours and only just found out what was happening by reading some news online.

I'm not sure what this is about? I guess it must be related to everything else going on but...

Oh Tariq, you don't understand.

Oprah can move mountains. If Oprah wants to do a show in Tahrir square the right connections will be pulled and there will be a day of absolute peace in Cairo. Like the 7th day of creation.

Thats the power of Oprah.
