Dean was a middle-aged, married Englishman – one of the many foreign friends I met through Facebook, way before the Yahoo Boys started scaring them all away. We became friends primarily because we supported the same football club, Manchester United, and we spoke over the phone a few times. On my 18th birthday, Dean called me and said: “Happy birthday! Make sure you enjoy it now you’re young… Because when you’re older, you won’t be so excited about getting older”. Normally,…

Aren’t perfect. We just admire them and fall in love with the personality they want the world to see. When we get close to them, we notice their flaws and realize no one has it all figured out.…
Yaaaaaay!!! The last day of the year is finally here I’m really grateful for a lot of things. I know we are ready to hear ‘2019 is your year’ Let’s not get so used to that phrase and forget that it could actually be. 2018 has taught me something remarkable. I learnt the hard way how you can be so close to achieving something you really want but if it’s not meant for you, no magic can change that. Does…

My life has been characterized with series of suffering but I always pictured that when I die, there will be a beautiful tombstone on my grave. Will I drown here? In Marah: I knew it! We could have been better off drinking spring water back in Egypt! There’s no way I can live on this bitter water. What about the hunger I’m feeling right now? We always had crumbs to eat no matter how terrible our day went as slaves.…
Dictatorship with the garment of democracy Footsteps on the way to freedom accompanied by chains and headed by insatiable politicians Religion crazed nation, atrocities in the name of the Holy One Barter with humans, blood as the new currency Death bills in fulfillment of elections treachery The struggle of financial freedom where the investor is at the mercy of the lender Protests emerge subtly as sponsored campaigns We are Judas with shreds of independence left that may take us back…
