“I will shock you, ask me what is the price of this huge red lantern?” The old vendor at Al-Sayeda Zeinab Ramadan Makeshift market told me. “Shock me” I replied. That huge big handmade lantern made of cloth is sold for LE 4,000 “It is sold for LE 4,000,” he told me. This is the price of the largest size of the Egyptian handmade traditional lantern whether made by cloth like the one above or like the traditional glass and tin. Usually, those sizes are sold to restaurants, companies, embassies and shops as well as exported to other Arab countries. Ramadan Kareem again This post is not y ..read more

First, Ramadan Kareem Second, I cannot post the usual Ramadan 1001 Arabian Audio Nights as I have done in the past years and there are two genocides taken on Egypt’s borders whether in Gaza or in Sudan. 1001 Arabian Audio Nights are another Egyptian entertainment tradition to celebrate the Holy Month, but it is not time to celebrate and entertain when millions of people including Arabs and Muslims are displaced and starving by the worst kind of armies and militias in both nations as the world especially our shameful Arab world is just a spectator.

I do not know how I missed this, but you must watch the official advisory opinion of the League of Arab States “LAS” at the International Court of Justice “ICJ” on Israeli violations in Palestine earlier this month at the Hague. If you like the official advisory opinion of Egypt then you will be amazed at what international law veteran expert and professor Ralph Wilde said. LAS is among 52 countries and 3 international organizations the United Nations General Assembly requested from the ICJ their advisory opinion regarding the legal consequences of the Israeli policies and practices in the oc ..read more

Gaza War 2023: This is what the real humans of Gaza are saying “International Women’s Day edition”

Today marks International Women’s Day and the world celebrates it superficially under slogans of “empowerment” and “gender equality” while women suffer all over the world in one way or another. It is not really a “happy International Women’s Day” in Gaza “nor in Sudan or Congo or in Syria too FYI” The following are facts the world is ignoring actually why it is a sad International Women's Day. At least 9,000 women have been killed, and many more are under the rubble. On average, 63 women are killed in Gaza per day - 37 are mothers who leave their families behind. In North Gaza where there is ..read more

This is the first true Egypt-centric post after weeks of covering the Gaza war. “I will continue covering this war, this post is exceptional.” In case you do not know the Central Bank of Egypt’s Monetary Policy Committee “MPC”, in an extraordinary meeting, decided on Wednesday to increase the deposit and lending rates for overnight and the main operation rate of the Central Bank by 600 basis points, reaching 27.25 %, 28.25 %, and 27.75%, respectively.

Once upon a Valentine in Gaza: Love in time of genocide

This post was originally intended for Valentine’s Day, as a reminder to a world celebrating love that love also exists in Gaza.  The idea began as a plan to share a glimpse of Gaza before the war, during Valentine’s Day, when gift shops celebrate the occasion despite the city’s conservative nature and the presence of “Khamas”. The "Love" heart cushion survives after all in a destroyed house in Gaza by Duaa Tuaima  I then decided to share the pleas of those lovers who lost their significant others in the war. Last week, photos and videos have emerged of a young couple who mar ..read more

Investigate 7 October independently for the sake of the victims on both sides: Not only Zaka’s greed, the Israeli government supported lies for sake of genocide in Gaza

On January 31st, Haaretz, an Israeli publication, released an investigative report uncovering how a local ultra-Orthodox Jewish volunteer group exploited the tragedy of the October 7th attack for financial gain. This group, which led the efforts to collect the bodies of the Israelis killed in the attack, propagated false and horrifying narratives about the events of that day. These fabrications have been used to justify one of the most egregious genocides of the 21st century thus far. Despite the credibility of Haaretz's findings, which have not been refuted but rather corroborated by other Is ..read more

Where is Hind Hamada? This is not a Netflix horror thriller; this is the reality in Gaza

Many Palestinians, as well as Arabs, have been asking themselves for nearly five days now: where is little Hind Hamada? Hind Hamada is a 6-year-old girl from Gaza. Her mother let her go with her uncle’s family to seek supposed safety after the Israeli army issued a warning on Monday that it would target West Gaza and that Palestinian residents should head to Deir El-Balah. But there was no safety on their way. Hind went with her 44-year-old uncle, Bashar Hamada, and his 43-year-old wife, Anam, along with her four cousins, including 15-year-old Layan, 13-year-old Sana, 12-year-old Mohamed, and ..read more

"Do you want to witness a war crime?" asked a Palestinian man to the young aspiring TV journalist seeking a story with a different humane angle in Northern Gaza during a brief truce in late November between the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) and Palestinian militant groups led by Hamas. "Go to Al-Nasr hospital," the man, walking with his wife, directed Mohammed Baalousha on that morning in late November. On the morning of November 27, Baalousha who was employed by a newly launched Dubai-based TV channel ventured into the streets of North Gaza. The objective of this daring endeavour was to doc ..read more

Israel is officially demanded to stop the genocide in Gaza : Spinning the International Court of Justice’s decision
Egyptian Chronicles | Egypt and Middle-East News Blog

The Israeli officials are doing what they had been doing best besides killing and occupying other people’s territories, they are spinning the truth and once again the Western media spread the Israeli version of the events in a way the Pravda in the Soviet era would be proud of. The Israeli officials went into Western media in the past 48 hours claiming that the ICJ threw out South Africa's attempts to get an immediate stop to the war and it did not demand Israel to stop its military operation against Hamas. Actually, what happened is the opposite somehow. The ICJ rejected the Israeli claim t ..read more
