#PostJan25 changing times

Posted on By 3arabawy

My friend Muhammad tweeting about a conversation between him and his mother:
My Mom: Where are you going son?
Me: I’m going to university, then heading to a protest.
My Mom: Ok, don’t be late, Dr. Ayman Nour will be on ONTV tonight.

Compare this conversation to pre-25 Jan times. One had to lie to his parents about going to protests. Parents wouldn’t really care that much whether some “politician” showed up on TV speaking or not. And probably mothers would urge their children to come back home on time to catch a soap opera on TV with the rest of family members.

Everyone is “political” these days. That’s what revolution does to people.

Public Transport Workers on Strike إضراب عمال النقل العام

Ali Fetouh, a leading independent trade unionist at the Cairo Public Transport Authority, whose role was central to their 2009 and February 2011 strikes, will show up on 7 May at a penal court at the State Council, accused of “agitating for strikes and publicly talking about the problems of workers in the media.”

And they tell you “Mission Accomplished” and Egypt’s workers are free now? Tell that to Ali Fetouh!

List of SS officers (Part II)

Posted on By 3arabawy

Hundreds of State Security Police officers, with their job occupations, phone numbers, have been exposed by 25Leaks website.

I’ve just skimmed through it quickly now. I’ll for sure do more investigations later, but if there is one thing that has been a trend in SS: It’s a family business. I’m seeing names of junior SS officers whose daddies are also in SS.

From SS Officers

One quick example (check page 2), you’ll find that our General Rushdi el-Qamari had a son who worked at the SS Heliopolis Bureau: Captain Muhammad Rushdi el-Qamari.

Previously I posted a link to another site with more names and phone numbers here.

More from the Piggipedia soon.
