Egypt is ablaze with conspiracy theories
Make sure you check out Jack’s new article in the Guardian’s Comment is Free.
I’m very pleased there was a mention of the tax collectors’ fight. The collectors’ strike last year and their current struggle to build Egypt’s first independent labor union in half a century are under-reported in the international press despite the story’s importance. I hope this will change soon.
And in all cases, actions speak louder than words, and I assure you the actions coming ahead will pierce the deaf ears and force everyone to listen.
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.
