President Obamaas outreach to the Muslim Brotherhood began three years ago in his famous June 2009 speech in Cairo.

What kind of democratic revolution brings charges against 19 Americanworkers who have been advocating democracy? The answer is that Egyptas is a confused revolution, looking for people to blame for its troubles. The United States should stifle its anger for now a and avoid a hasty cutoff of aid that would make a bad situation worse.

Coptic Christians are worried about their future in the new Egypt, as I could see Thursday night at a political rally in a poor Coptic neighborhood known here as Garbage City.
Gathered in an alleyway framed by heaps of trash, and Christian symbols decorating every nearby wall, the residents heard a simple message: To protect their families, Christians must vote in the parliamentary elections that begin late this month. Otherwise, Egypt may be controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, which is mobilizing its own supporters.

How has life changed in Egypt since the revolution, and whatas going to happen in the parliamentary elections that begin this month? I asked those questions last week in a poor neighborhood of Cairo called Ain el-Sira, and the responses amounted to a warning: The new Egypt must give these people a sense of security and progress soon, or itas in trouble.

Cairo is exhausting. 25 million people driving 14 million cars all beeping their horns at once. So as you can imagine this makes for some very interesting traffic. A visit to the RTA is not necessary to register your car. Every car is either missing a door a backlight or a bumper. I never quite understood the meaning of bumper to bumper until now.

The train from Cairo to Aswan ended up taking 15 hours so it was lucky that it was one of the most comfortable trains I39d ever been on.

Aloha Marhabah and SalaamWell I have been in Egypt for a little over a week now. Internet access took awhile to show itself. Possibly because there were other things I was supposed to be doing besides being online. There have been so many changes within me so fast.

I arrived back in Cairo at about 6 a.m. and walked back to the Canada Hostel I had stayed in before. I went to bed for a couple of hours and then got up to go try and get my Sudan visa sorted. The Sudanese Embassy is in an area of the city where there had been a few clashes the night before so some of the roads in the area were closed off. When I got there the Embassy was pretty full mostly of S
Woke up in Aswan to a beautiful warm day perfect for a slow sail down the Nile to Luxor aka Thebes. The Felucca was quite a bit larger than I had imagined room enough for 13 passengers on the covered deck and a crew of three below.

Cobbetts has struck up an association with Egyptian law firm El Said Darwish & Partners in the first stage of the firm’s plan to build up an international network. At the end of last year the national firm set up a Swiss Verein structure, named Cobbetts International, with the intention of forming associations with overseas legal practices.
Violence at a soccer match triggered intensified political protests in Egypt raging now into their fifth day. A match on February 1, 2012 in Port Said, Egypt between rival clubs Al-Masry of Port Said and visiting Al-Ahly of Cairo ended with home supporters charging onto the pitch and chasing visiting fans. That confrontation turned bloody when the visiting fans were unable to get out of the stadium, and 74 died from attacks and from injuries sustained in a panicked stampede. Al-Ahly’s fans had played a prominent role in defending protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square that eventually toppled leader Hosni Mubarak, and for this reason opponents of Egypt’s military rulers assert that police at the stadium allowed the violence to happen, or even encouraged it. Protests continue to grow over the lack of police protection for the fans after three official days of mourning for the victims. Gathered here are photographs of the initial confrontation between fans and the resulting protests from the past several days. — Lane Turner ( 25 photos total) 
Protests near Egypt’s Interior Ministry continued on February 3, 2012 in Cairo, Egypt with at least four people killed amid anger over the deaths of 74 football fans that were killed in clashes between rival fans in Port Said, Egypt. Three-days of mourning were announced and marches were scheduled to protest at the lack of protection provided by police who were at the stadium when the violence occurred.

A massive demonstration of Egyptians gathered in Tahrir Square in Cairo today to mark the anniversary of the uprising that eventually led to the ousting of President Hosni Mubarak. Political divides are still in force with liberals and Islamists differing on their visions for the future of the country. Mubarak is now on trial for complicity in the deaths of protesters. The uprising in Egypt last year was one of the initial protests of what is called the Arab Spring, which has included the slaying of Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy and the ongoing protests in Syria. — Lloyd Young ( 31 photos total)

There is an almost eerie quality to this one of a kind custom made statue depicting Napoleon Bonaparte as he enters Cario during his campaign in Egypt. The small statue was made by famed French artist Jean-Lon Grme as a smaller version of a larger bronze statue. It was made around 1897. The statue is done in an ancient style known as “chryselephantine.” The inner part of the statue is wood, while it is overlaid with gold and ivory. Ivory is used for Napoleon’s face to simulate a more realistic flesh like look. The statue is about 16 and a half inches high.
Gerome, the artist, favored such older Roman and Greek sculpting techniques. The original bronze statue was bought by the French government for public display. This work is an amazing historical reference as well as example of neo-classic revival in the 19th century that has since never been better. Price is $198,000 at Rau Antiques. Learn more here.

A News Blog about Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Orange County. Personal injury is a legal term for an injury to the body, mind or emotions, as opposed to an injury to property. The term is most commonly used to refer to a type of tort lawsuit alleging that the plaintiff’s injury has been caused by the negligence of another, but also arises in defamation torts. The most common types of personal injury claims are road traffic accidents, accidents at work, tripping accidents, assault claims, accidents in the home, product defect accidents (product liability) and holiday accidents. The term personal injury also incorporates medical and dental accidents (which lead to numerous medical negligence claims every year) and conditions that are often classified as industrial disease cases, including asbestosis and peritoneal mesothelioma, chest diseases (e.g., emphysema, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic obstructive airways disease), vibration white finger, occupational deafness, occupational stress, contact dermititis, and repetitive strain injury cases. If the negligence of another party can be proved, the injured party may be entitled to monetary compensation from that party. In the United States, this system is complex and controversial, with critics calling for various forms of tort reform. From: Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Orange County. Attorneys and lawyers often represent clients on a “contingency basis,” in which the attorney’s fee is a percentage of the plaintiff’s eventual compensation, payable when the case is resolved. Oftentimes, having an attorney becomes essential because cases become extremely complex, such as in medical malpratice cases. From: Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Orange County.
