Invalid Beliefs in the Egypt of 2008

As my term on AIESEC International ends, I was feeling good about the fact that I will going back home to Egypt for a few weeks before I embark on my newest endeavour...I was excited about being back in Egypt...However, the news of the acquital of all but one of the people who were on trial for the Ferry that sank with 1064 Egyptians during January 2006.

It was a bit of a reality shock...I had forgotten what Egypt has gotten to be more and more over the years of my adulthood...a place where increasingly the law of jungle persisted to be the law of a lawless Egypt...

So in 1 day from now I will be back to a place I am not as excited about going back to anymore...

For more about the shameful court veredict - apologies to my late grand father, who was a judge himself and has always told me that if there is anything that you can always keep faith in, it would be the judicial system of Egypt. It is kind of a relief that he is not here to experience how his beliefs were not valid anymore in the Egypt of 2008...
