Kafr Elw residents score victory

Farah was with the Kafr Elw residents when they received the keys for their new flats.

Try to spend sometime browsing the set of pix I took of the residents last December, when their struggle started, and the one taken by Farah. It’s easy to identify the women and men from last year, but their facial expressions differ. In my set, which was taken at the beginning of the saga, the residents’ faces were full of anger, defiance as well as panic, sadness and concern. In Farah’s, their faces are just the purest form of happiness and joy following their victory.

Mabrouk once again for the Kafr Elw residents.

Around 1000 cement workers are currently staging two sit-ins south of Cairo in Helwan and Tebbin, demanding the 30% raise decreed by Mubarak last May, the “schools grant” (paid to workers in the fall to help them with the fees of their children schooling) and a compensation for the overtime work shifts they do.

No more details are available at the moment.

From AFP…

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak during talks with President Hosni Mubarak on Tuesday voiced rare praise for Egypt’s efforts to stem weapons smuggling into the Islamist-run Gaza Strip.

Barak hailed Egyptian efforts along the porous border which “have visibly been effective,” said a statement from the Israeli defense ministry after the talks at one of Mubarak’s palaces in Alexandria.
