Dry Flowers in Khartoum
The conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023, has led to severe destruction in the capital and reignited dormant conflicts in peripheral regions like Darfur. The war, driven by two generals, Abdel Fatah al Burhan and Mohamed Dagalo, has displaced at least 2.8 million people, with 644,861 becoming refugees in neighboring countries. Egypt has taken in nearly half of these refugees but now requires visas for entry. The influx of Sudanese refugees is noticeable in Cairo, where individuals like Rahiem Shadad, who fled with his family, are trying to adapt to their new reality.
The Worst of Dictatorships
The article reflects on the downfall of the Arab Spring in Egypt, marked by the military coup that ousted the country's first democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi. It describes the chaotic and violent scenes during the protests, highlighting the deep polarization within the country. The narrative is highly subjective, focusing on personal experiences and emotions during the events.
Rafah, the key to survival in Gaza
The dream of democracy fades in Sudan
Sudan, despite its wealth in natural resources, remains impoverished and dependent on foreign aid after decades of dictatorship. The 2019 civil uprising that ended Omar al Bashir's rule has given way to a violent power struggle between paramilitary leader Hamdan Dagalo and Sudanese Armed Forces chief Abdelfatah al Burhan, resulting in significant casualties. The conflict has drawn the attention of Western countries, Gulf nations, Russia, and China, all interested in Sudan's resources. The dream of democracy is fading as neither military leader shows willingness to cede power to a civilian government.
Lying the Truth in Rafah
The article discusses the challenges faced by journalists in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt, where press freedom is severely restricted. It highlights the case of Lina Attalah, editor of Mada Masr, who faces legal action for allegedly spreading false information. The narrative shifts to the situation in Gaza, focusing on the dire conditions and the looming threat of Israeli bombings in Rafah. The article criticizes the Egyptian regime's control over the media and its role in the Gaza conflict, suggesting a broader intention of genocide and forced displacement of Palestinians.
The Invasion of Gaza
Agus Morales and Mikel Ayestaran discuss the latest developments in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict from Jerusalem, highlighting the severe impact of Israeli bombings in Gaza, which have resulted in over 9,000 deaths, including more than 3,000 children. The conversation covers the ground invasion by Israeli troops, the siege of Gaza City, and the intense combat with Hamas. The discussion also touches on the potential role of Hizbolá in the conflict and the experiences of Israeli civilians affected by the October 7th Hamas attack, which left 1.400 dead.
Cairo before Jijona: the unknown Egyptian origin of Spanish nougat
The article explores the Egyptian origins of Spanish nougat, tracing its roots back to ancient Egypt and its spread through Arab conquests. It highlights the craftsmanship of Nabil, a third-generation confectioner in Cairo, and the history of the El Nilo confectionery founded by Ahmed Attia. The narrative emphasizes the cultural heritage and enduring tradition of these sweets, which have been enjoyed by notable figures like King Fouad and King Faruq. The story underscores the dedication of families like Nabil's and Nader Attia's in preserving this culinary art.
Bullets Against Childhood: Heartbreaking Stories of Children in War
The article 'Balas contra la infancia' explores the devastating impact of war on children through various narratives and historical contexts. It highlights the experiences of children in conflict zones like Gaza, Ukraine, and Spain, emphasizing their roles as both victims and participants. The piece underscores the recurring nature of human conflict and the enduring suffering of the most vulnerable. It also touches on the broader implications of war, such as forced recruitment and displacement, and calls for a more just and equal world to ensure a safer future for children.
The Summit of Alaa
Alaa Abd el-Fatah, an Egyptian activist and blogger, remains imprisoned and on a prolonged hunger strike, drawing significant attention during the COP27 climate summit in Sharm el Sheikh. His case highlights the broader issue of political prisoners in Egypt, with over 60,000 reportedly detained. The Egyptian government, led by Abdelfatah Al Sisi, faces criticism for its human rights record, despite attempts to present a positive image at the summit. Activists, including Alaa's sister Sanaa Seif, and organizations like Human Rights Watch and the Iniciativa Egipcia para los derechos individuales (EIPR), emphasize the need for human rights to be respected to achieve climate justice. The situation underscores the tension between Egypt's public commitments and its domestic policies, with international figures like Joe Biden also involved in the discourse.
The secrets hidden by the lost city of Luxor: three palaces and unusual animal burials
The 'lost golden city' in the Egyptian desert, the largest ever found in the country, has been unearthed by a team of Egyptian archaeologists led by Zahi Hawass in just seven months. The 3,000-year-old city contains three palaces, areas for cooking and food storage, administrative and residential buildings, and workshops. It is considered the most important discovery since Tutankhamun's tomb and is expected to reveal many secrets of the pharaoh who lived there. The city was accidentally discovered while researchers were searching for Tutankhamun's mortuary temple on the west bank of Luxor.
