The Qalyobeyya Train Catastrophe
.
.
One can't help wondering, is this Egypt's destiny, to be hit by such a catastrophe almost every couple of months? The regular Egyptian citizen can not help but considering this a deliberate act of violence against him and/or his fellow citizens. This time, only – only!!! What a word full of bitterness in this situation - 80 Egyptians got martyred in the Train clash in Qalyoub. What can I say more than what all Egyptians are saying day and night? This tragic incident comes almost five months after the Sinking Ferry Disaster which tolled up the victims numbers over a thousand innocent Egyptians mostly women and children. This is also the second huge Train accident in less than five years. The first was a Train Blaze that killed 350 Egyptians.
In a real democracy, the whole government will most probably resign and of course some of its members will be brought to court. In Japan, a minister or two would have committed suicide because of his indirect responsibility towards the huge number of casualties. In Egypt – and most of the tyrant regimes in the region –, the whole disaster is and will be blamed on either a humble clerk here or there as in the train driver, or the absent captain of the ferry. I just can not comprehend how the Egyptian regime members can go to bed while all these innocent souls are hanging in their necks. How far brutal and cruel people can get?
Just a point to mark here, the number of civilian casualties in these three state crimes only, exceeds the number of Lebanese civilian casualties resulting from the savage brutal Israeli raid on Lebanon. This recent train incident's casualties are 58, in the Ferry Disaster they were more than 1,100, and in the first Train Blaze of 2002 the casualties were 350, so simply the total is about 1,500 while the number of casualties in the Lebanon-Israel conflict were only 1,180. Isn't it bloody ironic?
The more ironic mark is that the Egyptian Regime says that he does not go for war with Israel to protect Egyptian blood and souls. Well, it seems they prefer to waste our blood domestically, by their hands, not with foreign ones, that's all.
The third most ironic mark would be that this Egyptian tyrant regime is what the American administration and the following British PM keep saying that it is their friend and ally, ok Messrs. Bush and Blair, do you still wonder why the whole Arab world hates the guts out of you?!!!!
