Genetic evolution “What happened in Aswan is the strongest indication that Egyptian society is changing or that it has already changed. What happened is not directly related to the present political conflict. The core of the crisis is that the Egyptian society we had known is no longer there. The values are different.” Emadeddin Hussein, Al-Shorouk Aswan Naksa “I found the word naksa the most appropriate to use because it was used before to describe Egypt's humiliating defeat in the 1967 War. What happened in Aswan is a naksa, a defeat and a disgrace. However the only positive scene in that catastrophe is the visit of the prime minister and the responsible ministers to the area. What we need to see next is an investigation, trial and quick and strict punishment.” Osama Al-Ghazali Harb, Al-Ahram A serpent's sting “Until a few days ago, Britain would not have recognised the MB as a terrorist organisation. Now it found itself face to face with its terrorism when the MB leader Ibrahim Mounir was quoted in The Times saying that Britain would face the most dangerous terrorist attacks if it decided to ban the activities of his group on its land.” Sherif Khafagi, Al-Akhbar 41 per cent drop in the reclaimed land “A drop of 41.3% in reclaimed lands was recorded by the Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics this year.” Ahram Online Ingrained disease “What happened in Aswan is a sad reflection of the state of division, tribal visions and hardline behaviour that force a kind and peaceful person to carry a gun and shoot at his neighbour. This is one of the historical, acute problems left without being solved from the roots. That is why it recurs like the symptom of a disease that is not properly treated.” Emadeddin Adeeb, Al-Watan Facebook Hosni Mubarak is detained without being charged on a single case while Ahmed Doma, Ahmed Maher and Mohamed Adel were sentenced to a three-year prison today. The judiciary is independent. Every military regime detained its resistance movements and every military dictator fell in the end. The symbols of resistance were freed from prison victoriously. Aida Seif Al-Dawla When the MB promise to carry out terrorist operations in Britain, that will be the straw that breaks the camel's back of the MB in the whole world, God willing.
