I Love Egypt.... but do we deserve it.....

What does it mean loving your country.... It means you would die for it if the need arise... work as hard as possible to develop it, and push for its success.  At the end of the day the more our country moves forward, living conditions will improve, health care will improve... basic needs will be available for the majority of the people.  

I understand that my love for my country is unconditional... like my love for my children and I would encourage all new ideas coming from the true sons of this country to serve it.... However, and for many years our country... sorry ... our fellow brothers... the patriots of this country have been a push factor in pushing out all our human resources... and when they fly away they show excellence in whatever they do and in any field they work in.....they win Nobel Prizes and other prizes that we have not heard of....  and we rest with the mediocrity who has no where to go , but work hardly on pulling the country back.

Let me count among many: Dr. Madgy Yacoub, Ahmed Zoueil, Farouk El Baz and the list does not end or stop.  These are real sons coming from the heart of Egypt... who have been pushed out by the old, rusted minds that are the main impediment in the wheel of the development of Egypt.

Dr. Farouk El Baz the respected scientist who is right this moment the Director of the Remote Sensing Institute in Boston University studied for years through satellites, chose the best location for a development corridor that would be built in parallel to the basin of the Nile from South to North with steps to serve and create new cities, and work opportunities and God knows how much we need this with the poverty rate reaching more than 50%.

Instead of welcoming such a nobel project that will create thousands of job opportunities, releasing the pressure on the Nile towns and cities and benefit from the desert space that we are hardly using,  we simply attack without scientific evidence and because we are so brilliant we say it is an old idea that has been raised before.

Kill any new idea as long as it is not yours.... this is the egyptians motto who are the reason that we will go in the trash of history after we have been the pharaohs with a civilization that still awes everyone who sees or comes across it.

Instead of putting our hands and minds together, we simply break it.  In the love of God and in the love of Egypt ... Stop and think of what your country needs not what gain you will get.....

I LOVE EGYPT and we don't deserve Egypt because we don't know its worth.
