A nice episode from Al Da7i7 on Um Kalthoum’s historic concert in Paris right after the 1967 defeat. She was paid 14K Sterling Pounds, a record high during that time. 20% of those who bought the tickets were French who can’t even speak Arabic. Olym Um Kalthoum was not just a singer, she was a co-ruler, probably even more powerful than the ruler himself. This is why Nasser immediately annulled the decision to ban her after the 1952 coup. Video has English subtitles, in the below tweet.

Disaster. Abu Qir, one of the biggest fertilizers companies in Egypt, halts production due to the gas shortage crisis. Abu Qir is one of the very few successful majority government owned companies that has a sizable export, i.e foreign currency, revenue.

Egypt is selling its crown jewels for dollars. I’m all for private enterprise but profitable state owned companies were never a major hindrance to the private sector, always co-existed and enriched the state coffers. The 🐘 in the room is the hinderance.

Disaster: our hospital, Ahli Arab hospital has taken a direct hit from an Israeli missile. Early reports say hundreds of women and children killed. This is deliberate killing of vulnerable civilians. The bombs must stop now. There can be no possible justification for this. – at Amman, Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
