Egyptian women: depression or oppression?
The article discusses the plight of Egyptian women like Hagar, a student from Cairo University, who face domestic violence and psychological disorders due to societal and familial pressures. It highlights the increased desire for independence among young women, which often leads to conflict within traditional family structures. Sohila Mohamad, founder of Femi-Hub, an organization supporting women's transition to independence, notes that many women are fleeing domestic violence and abuse. Psychiatrists like Mostafa Hussein and Nabil el Qutt observe a rise in mental health issues, linking them to political struggles and societal oppression. The article also touches on the aftermath of the 2011 Egyptian uprising, noting both the temporary freedoms gained by women and the subsequent push-back. It concludes with stories of women who, despite severe challenges, have managed to gain independence and overcome psychological distress.
What has Azza done?: Azza Soliman, a unique feminist at risk
Azza Soliman, a prominent feminist lawyer and head of the Center for Egyptian Women’s Legal Assistance (CEWLA), faces judicial harassment in Egypt, including a travel ban and asset freeze. Her work, particularly in women's access to justice and combating violence against women, has made her a target in a broader crackdown on feminist organizations. Despite societal and state hostility, Soliman's contributions to the feminist movement are celebrated, and her resilience inspires continued activism for women's human rights.
Corvette Duty at the Port of Alexandria
In Egypt, the construction of four French corvettes at the Alexandria shipyard has halted due to a social conflict. The project, signed with Cairo in 2014 and hailed as a success for then Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, is now facing delays. Workers at Tersana, the subcontractor under the Egyptian Defense Ministry, protested poor working conditions, low wages, and lack of health benefits, leading to a crackdown by authorities. Twenty-six employees risk court-martial, with some already detained. The shipyard, managed by the military with General Esmat as the site manager, has seen two deaths this year. The situation has escalated, with families of the accused protesting and DCNS facing financial penalties due to the delays. In November, 13 pursued workers resigned from Tersana as the only way to be released from prison.
With Sissi, Egypt has become a dictatorship again
Three years ago, on July 3, 2013, Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, then Minister of Defense, overthrew President Mohamed Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Sissi, presenting himself as a 'savior', remains in power today, despite facing strong criticism for his leadership.
Egyptair: the hazardous communication of the Egyptian authorities
An Egyptair flight from Paris to Cairo disappeared from radar and is believed to have crashed into the Mediterranean Sea. Initial communications from Egyptair and the Egyptian Armed Forces were inconsistent and confusing, particularly regarding a distress signal. This incident follows a previous aviation disaster in November, which was later confirmed as a terrorist attack. The article highlights the strategic importance of Egypt's aviation sector to its economy and the sensitivity surrounding aviation incidents.
Nefertiti's Tomb Still Captivates Egypt
The potential discovery of Queen Nefertiti's tomb continues to captivate Egypt, with researchers and authorities fueling speculation. Despite repeated announcements of possible findings, the evidence remains inconclusive, with unexplored cavities in Tutankhamun's tomb suggesting organic or metallic materials. British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves leads the hypothesis, though skepticism persists among experts. The period around Akhenaton and Tutankhamun remains shrouded in mystery, with debates over the identity of the ruler between them. The topic intertwines with contemporary Egyptian interests, including tourism and political distractions. Accusations of intellectual theft and corruption add to the intrigue, highlighting the complex interplay between archaeology and modern-day Egypt.
