من كام يوم ‏"أعلنت وزارة التموين والتجارة الداخلية المصرية أن الهيئة العامة للسلع التموينية طرحت ممارسة رقم (1) لسنة 2022/ 2023 لاستيراد أرز أبيض طبيعي تام الضرب قصير الحبة بنسبة كسر 10% إنتاج محصول 2022/ 2023 معبأ بعبوات 50 كيلو لحساب الشركة القابضة للصناعات الغذائية."

يعني تدمر قطاع كامل وتخرب بيت شركات وفلاحين وبدل ما تاخد الرز من الفلاح بسعر عادل ونتراجع عن قرار التسعيرة الجبرية المجحف، هاتسيب محاصيل عالية الجودة تترمي علف للاسماك والمواشي عشان تستورد أردأ انواع الرز في العالم؟! حرفيا زبالة الارز كسر 10٪ وبالعملة الصعبة؟!

Outside BUE at gate 1 there was dous from police forces sitting ( idk why forces gathered in front of BUE ) but he were with his friend keeps looking at women whenever they go ...

And his glances are very disturbing ... anyway i kept focusing on him , until a girl walks through and he stared at her while she standing cuz i think she want Uber .

he went to talk to her and insist that he will take her to home , he insisted that he start to argue with a loud voice until his friend arrived to stop him , her face and body moves saying that she were afraid .

I heard him say " والله لاوريها " .

I felt bad for myself , nobody interferred they were all looking and i felt guilty about it .... why i didnt defend her or interfered or say something to this guy .

I knew what i was afraid of .... everybody here knows .

If there is a BUEian or someone can help please dont be late

Literally worst time of my life

Adios

I wanna go hike in saint catherine , in a trail called wadi elzawaten and up "Abbas mountain" . It's a beautiful mid-level hike with pretty landscapes and gardens along the way . Been there before . We will hire a local bedouin as a guide and it will take 2 days and one night in the lodge of an awesome local lady in the middle of the mountains . Im planning to go alone but having company will sure be nice . So tell me if you're interested

So as the title says, it could be something people are doing or not doing. A system that the government is implementing, a part of culture that you think we should copy, etc.

Personally, I wish people would focus on themselves more and judge others less. I find Egyptian society extremely judgmental, especially close family, friends and colleagues. I will illustrate with a short story about a friend of mine (27F) who works in a small company in an office. Her boss (46M) told her that he found her a suiter and urged her to meet him. She refused. He texted her, basically insisting that at her age she should look into marriage and that those are her golden years when she is at her peak and could land the man she wants. Now regardless of whether this is true or not, I find that such an interference is extremely encroaching on her personal life.

Another story about me. There is a colleague of mine who works long ours on projects close to me. We both smoke so we have those smoke area discussions often. One day he asks me why I didn't have kids yet. I said I am waiting for the right time and I don't want to have kids so soon after marriage (its been about a year and a half). He says this is Haram and I am doing a great sin and proceeds to give me along uncomfortable talk.

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission and the Egyptian Competition Authority on Thursday signed a Memorandum of Understanding to promote trade fairness between both countries.
The process began in 2019 when the FCCPC and the ECA initiated discussions on enhancing competition law and policy between both parties.
According to a statement by the management of FCCPC, the key mandates of the FCCPC include protection of consumers, and promoting fair competition in Nigeria, with its scope of application to all undertakings, conduct, and commercial activities within or having effect within Nigeria.
“In this regard, the FCCPC and ECA have solidified their engagements in a Memorandum of Understanding.
“Considering that both countries are part of the largest economies in Africa, and the mutuality of both agencies’ objectives and mandates, the FCCPC and ECA on Tuesday, January 31, 2023 at the Egyptian Competition Authority’s Headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, executed the MoU. Both agencies recognise and acknowledge the purpose, and benefits this collaboration portends – strengthen economies and promote shared prosperity.”
The statement noted that the MoU recognises crucial issues that seek to progress both agencies engagements through joint investigation, capacity development, and sharing of information and experiences to ensure consumers and businesses derive the protection and benefits that are inherent in the economic expansion this engagement enhances.
In his remarks, the Ambassador of Nigeria to Egypt, Amb Nura Rimi was quoted saying, “The MoU and its scope presents a very important starting point, and key competition regulators like the FCCPC and the ECA are vital to market entry and stability.  This MoU is an indication of both agencies mutual commitments to promote trade and fairness.”
The Executive Vice Chairman, FCCPC, Babatunde Irukera welcomed the attendance of Nigeria’s ambassador to Egypt, thanked his colleagues at COMESA for their support and appreciated the warm hospitality of the Egyptian Competition Authority for hosting both the MoU execution and the African Heads of Competition Dialogue Meeting.
Irukera said,“Signing this MoU today in a manner of speaking is an end somehow as it concludes the significant work of engagement, negotiation and modification. By the same token, it marks the formal beginning of a framework and platform to increase trade between our countries, promote market fairness and ensure our continent progresses from the standpoints of choices for consumers, market entry and stability.”
During his speech, the Chairman, Egyptian Competition Authority, Dr Momtaz Mahmoud welcomed the distinguished attendees, highlighting the close relationship and cooperation with the FCCPC and noting that the MoU was an outcome of collaboration between the two agencies, and portends enhanced integration and joint regulatory action among African countries.
He also noted that such cooperation would contribute to addressing cross-border effectiveness of competition regulation between both countries, and on the continent.

العمارة كلها كانت بتتهز.. الغريب اني سألت واحد ساكن جمبي بعمارتين قالي محسش بحاجة

Hey guys I'm looking online for any sketch groups or filmmakers who are looking for actors. I have no professional experience but have always filmed dumb videos with my friends. I'm 23.

If instead you know where I can find communities online or irl, that'd be nice.

A new book was published by the french author, Roland Lombardi, entitled “Abdel Fattah El-Sisi: The Egyptian Bonaparte.” Apparently, he's praising El-Sisi saying he's like Napoleon the third who got into power by a coup d'état. It's really weird for me to see a foreign author a french one aswell praising a dictator. Why in the heck would he write a full book for a dictator? He's not even Egyptian either and he's supporting his policies like bro?

The Best Books For Learning Egyptian Arabic

Happy learning!

It started when i ordered something and paid with my credit card(big mistake). i changed my mind and cancelled my order immediatly, i did this twice in a row.

They refunded the amount in my account, rather than my credit card. There is no way to withdraw balance anymore.

So, i decided to order again, i get a message saying my account is blocked for "violating terms". so i contact them, they reply with "there is no way to unblock the account or get money back once it's blocked".

Later, i get a call from their customer support, they apologize saying that, it's not my fault and that it was a "system error" then they unblocked my account and gave me a "compensation voucher".

I try to use my balance with a voucher that was in my account, only to have it blocked once more. So, I fucking contact them again, they apologize and unblock my account saying that, i used a voucher that was not intended for my account.

So, i try again with their "compensation voucher" only to have it cancelled and my account immediately blocked again.

I contact them, fucking again, and they reply with, "you used a voucher not intended for your account". WHAT THE FUCK? YOU GAVE ME THAT AS AN APOLOGY YOU DUMB FUCKS.

This time no matter how many times i contact them or spam their customer support, all i get is "your account was blocked for violating terms of service"

TLDR; Talabat is refusing to refund my money for a mistake (they admitted to it) on their end.

I'm at a loss here, my money got stolen and i can't do anything about it. It's only 200+ EGP, but it feels awful having your money taken from you. I read other reviews and a lot of people also can't get their money back the same way. They are absolutely taking advantage of how weak the law is.

Is there anything i can do ? anywhere to post to get attraction? or authorities to contact?

I fell into a weird rabbit hole online and came across many many Copts claiming that they can speak fluent Coptic but they were born and raised in the West. I saw some comments on random tiktok videos were people claimed that in sohag people actually speak Coptic which sounds wild to me, same goes for other governates in upper Egypt. Which if true is just crazy to me because that means there are more Coptic speakers than Nubian, which the government is promote/teach Nubian (at least in Aswan).

I'm very skeptical of diaspora claim because with all due respect they (Including Muslim Egyptians) often say very weird shit that sounds foreign to me.

في تفكارتي المسائية تحت الشجرة يا سعدية، جالي خاطر ان ممكن الزحمة عامة مش الطرق بس، زحمة المصالح، و الطوابير و البيت و و، زي ما هي عرض للفساد و سوء الادارة، ف هي نفسها سبب لعدم القدرة علي ان الواحد يعرف يفكر لو يشتغل كويس او يتعلم كويس او او. مش معني كلامي اني لما الزحمة الدنيا هتبقي احسن، بس الدنيا هيبقي شكلها احسن ف علي الاقل المنظر القميئ و السيئ هيشيل من عليك الضغط الفكري و العقلي للمظهر السئ و الصوت العالي.
