‘We have to strike’

“We need to know one another, and who’s doing what in each province.” said Na’eem Ramadan, an Arabic teacher from Dessouq, in the northern Nile Delta province of Kafr el-Sheik. “We can’t stay fragmented… We have to strike. The people (teachers) have reached their limits and cannot take it anymore. Before Kefaya, no one used to demonstrate in the streets. It’s different now. But we will not be able to do anything unless we unite ourselves. In Dessouq, we are staging a sit-in 20 September, on the first day of classes. We are not going to our schools. We will go to the Teachers’ Syndicate Club in Dessouq and assemble there. Other provinces need to do the same.”

Kafr el-Sheikh citizens fight back the police

3arabawy — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:04:46 +0000

Two videos surfaced online, purportedly from Kafr el-Sheikh (the Nile Delta Governorate that includes the town of Burullus), of a police force, in the beginning of July, trying to disrupt a wedding (something the corrupt police officials frequently do in the provinces and in the poor areas, unless paid a royalty) by taking away one of the attendees.

However, the people resisted, beating the police officers, their corporals, and plainclothes informers, liberating the detainee. The officer leading the raid, Muhammad el-Qadi, fled the scene with his car, leaving his corporals and soldiers behind, to get their sorry butts smacked by the people of Kafr el-Sheikh.

From AFP:

Security forces on Monday arrested 39 members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the main opposition group in Egypt, while they were on holiday in the Nile Delta, a security official said.
“Thirty-nine Muslim Brothers were arrested while on holiday in Kafr Al-Sheikh,” the official told AFP, requesting anonymity.
The Muslim Brotherhood website said three of those arrested were local leaders of the group.
The men are accused of propagating the Brothers’ ideology after being found in possession of Islamist literature which is banned in Egypt, the official said.
Dozens of Islamists were rounded up in the same area earlier this month during a by-election. The vote was won by the ruling National Democratic Party.
