Who rules in Sinai?
‘What is going on in Sinai?' was the headline of Ahmed el-Sawi's column yesterday in Al-Shorouq. He had fears that the state is losing control over Sinai, evidenced by official confusion in dealing with the peninsula in terms of security, politics and development. He believes that violence seems to (...)

Know your religion

Crucial role of the opposition
IS the act of opposition a crime that requires punishment? In the democratic system, the opposition plays a vital role in ensuring liberty, fairness and even legitimacy of the ruling regime. With the disappearance or weakness of the opposition, any ruler can turn into a dictator, a fact that was (...)

MB fiddles while Egypt on fire
EVERY one is wondering where the President is in the ongoing events that have reached the level of civil disobedience in some governorates of the country.

MB should not draw wrong conclusions
LEADERS of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) must have heaved a sigh of relief on seeing the number of demonstrators in the streets decreasing with the passing of time. Even on the second anniversary of Mubarak's stepping down, the number of people that responded to the call of making February 11, 2013 (...)

First end injustice and brutality
DON'T they have the right to rebel? This is the question that comes to my mind whenever I hear a person refer to the poor young people who lead the ongoing protest against the ruling regime and its tool of suppression represented in the security agency. For some months now we have been accustomed (...)

Any place but Port Said

Salafists, a threat to all
SHOULD the Egyptian Christians be anxious or even agitated by the shocking Salafi fatwa made by some extremists prohibiting the expression of congratulation to Christians on Christmas Day?

The Revolution's martyrs still fall

Training the police in new strategies
IT is very painful to see a young police officer fall dead while fulfilling his duty of ensuring security at the society.

Leaping onto the stage
