  3. what is happening in misr? God bless you all! back in 52 there was military sponsored fires all over the downtown. is history trying to repeet it self? Ones again military sponsored coup to hide the misstakes of the governement? Or is it "just" decades of neglect? poor, poor Misr. - I really feel like the caracter Adel Emam plays in Beit yacobean - Misr is degraded by her own choise and due to neglect!

  4. @The silants party,I think it could be a glimpse for the future
    اظن و الله اعلم انها لمحة عن المستقبل

    @anonymous, I do not think that the Free Officers were behind the fire , I think the British were behind anyhow I do not believe not think that the fires in 2008 were made by the army to hide the government corruption ,but it is bad omen for sure
