Preparing for Obama: LE50,000 to polish up Cairo U dome!

Posted on By 3arabawy

The Giza Governorate, known for its notorious corruption and refusal to invest in sanitation and infra structure citing “lack of funds,” has an “open budget” however to prepare for Obama’s visit. In other words they have a green light to spend whatever necessary to beautify the places Obama’s parade will pass through. Already Mr. Ahmad Nassar, the head of Cleaning and Beautification Agency (yeah, that’s its name!), stated to Al-Masry Al-Youm “expensive flowers” will be planted around the Nahdet Masr statue, and moreover, “LE50,000 are allocated to polishing the Cairo University dome.”

So, no money to subsidize the students’ books, but they have LE50,000 to polish up the dome?!! No money to lift up the garbage from the Giza slums, but an “open budget” to plant expensive shit to receive Obama!??! What can I say except: A7A!

Hypocrites!

Give me a break! I can’t take this bullshit anymore!

Mubarak’s grandson died? I’m heartbroken, but to declare three days of mourning at the State TV and private satellite channels, stop broadcasting films and songs, and just keep playing religious tunes and Quran on private and public radio channels?!! That’s just too much! Oh, and not only that, the Muslim Brothers, Ayman Nour  and the opposition were also quick to send condolences and express their devastation over hearing the news of the tragic event. Film screenings are canceled and the Cairo Opera House is in “chaos.”

Excuse me, Who is Muhammad Alaa Mubarak? A government official? A national hero? Who is he to put the state on hold for three days?

Why didn’t we have this national mourning when the kids in Duweiqa died? Everyday there are children who die in Gaza because of Mubarak’s insistence on strangling the strip by closing the Rafah crossing, No national mourning for that? What about the Mahalla children who were abused by Mubarak’s police in April 2008- No mourning for them?! What about those children who get whipped by Mubarak’s police in custody, no mourning for them?! No national mourning for the Shaha kid tortured by the police by electric shocks to death?!

Hypocrites!
