REAL PEOPLE. REAL ISSUES. REAL LIFE.
No Fan of Tough Love
March 1, 2011
I was raised to love this country; it’s as simple as that. When I was a child, my father didn’t sing me lullabies. He sang me “Aksamto Besmek Ya Belady” (I Swear by Your Name, My Country). By Nadine El Sayed
A Life to Live For, a Cause to Die For
March 1, 2011
Arriving on foreign soil is anything but new for me; I understand that being exposed to new elements and ideas comes with the territory. It had been three years since sands in the Libyan Desert pushed up from under my feet. By Robert Terpstra
The Warning
March 1, 2011
The joke among my friends is that I’m Masra-keya, the American who after 10 years here qualifies as an honorary Egyptian. By Kate Durham
Suspicious Minds
March 1, 2011
I was walking between two men near the Mohammad Naguib Metro station in downtown Cairo. One of the men, Ahmed, was carrying a crowbar. He told me that Egyptians have to be careful around foreigners: Hezbollah and Hamas were stirring up trouble and trying to force the collapse of President Hosni Mubarak’s regime to open up a new front against Israel. By Glen Johnson
Yelling out “Freedom”
March 1, 2011
When I look back at my people’s uprising, the same image resonates in my mind: A group of men climbing up a billboard bearing the face of then-President Hosni Mubarak and starting to tear away at it on the day nation-wide protests swept across Egypt, on January 25. By Passant Rabie
United We Stand
March 1, 2011
Driving to Tahrir Square around 6pm on January 25 was a challenge. It took me almost an hour and a half to get only to Kasr El-Aini street from neighboring Giza, not because of traffic, but because the police had closed off almost every street and alleyway leading to the square. By Lamia Hassan
More Than an Observer
March 1, 2011
On January 25, I was politically apathetic — at least for that morning, which will go down in history as the tipping point after which Egyptians, from all walks of life, were united in a desperate desire for change. By Pakinam Amer
Voice of a Vigilante
March 1, 2011
Saturday, January 29, was a day that all Egyptians will likely remember. It was one day after the Friday of Anger, one of the consequences of which was the withdrawal of the police force from the streets, leaving behind unattended arms and unguarded prisons. By Amr Aref
The Battle for Qasr El-Nil Bridge
March 1, 2011
The violent clashes of January 28 remain hazy in my mind, like a black-and-white movie that is poorly edited and out of focus. One image, however, is clear as day. By Jessica Gray
Taking the First Step
February 5, 2011
In the wake of the suicide bombing at Alexandria’s Al Qeddessine Church, the nation came together to condemn violence against Christians. In this moment of unity some see an opportunity to honestly address the root causes of a long-simmering tension, but fear that society is too shy to face it. By Passant Rabie
Sudan Times Two
February 5, 2011
A new state of southern Sudan could complicate regional relations between Khartoum and Cairo By Pakinam Amer
