Constitution... In Depth

Part 1

Egyptians are to vote in a referendum on a set of constitutional changes, which the opposition has criticized as paving the way for a police state. I believe this is a crucial topic to discuss. Especially that the majority of Egyptians don’t know how does our so-called “constitution” looks like!! In my humble opinion, I believe more than 90% of Youth haven’t read the constitution. And it’s paradoxical to notice that these citizens are the most talkative giving out their political opinions based on what they heard from others!! We as being Pharaohs, always attain such weird ideology of “Kalam naas 2a3da 3ala mastaba”.

Anyways, for those who want to know their country’s constitution, visit
http://www.egypt.gov.eg/english/laws/constitution/index.asp for the English version
or
http://www.egypt.gov.eg/arabic/laws/constitution/index.asp for the Arabic version.

I highly recommend that you skim and scan the above links before proceeding in this article. Focus on “Chapter Three: Public Freedoms, Rights and Duties” and on “Chapter five: Part Six”.

Finally, In order to know exactly the set of suggested changes. Now, you are ready to go to
http://www.sis.gov.eg/VR/conts/ar/html/card04.pdf

Pay full attention on changes in articles “4, 5, 12, 30, 59, 62, 76, 88, 94, 179, 180”. There are 34 amendments to be added/deleted or changed in the original constitution. These 34 amendments are concerned with 205 articles bearing in mind the constitution articles are only 211! I prefer calling it constitution revolution rather than constitution modification. I will state briefly my perspective regarding the above changes.

  • A ban on the creation of political parties based on religion. (Article 5)

"Although I'm not a big fan of "Al Ekhwan Al Moslemeen" But yet, this is a big step towards secularity!! we7na mesh na2seen. El balad de mayenfa3sh feeha secular political aspects!"

  • Broader security powers. (Article 179)
  • Drafting of a new anti-terrorism law to replace the emergency legislation in place since 1981 (Article 179)
  • Giving police wide powers of arrest and surveillance. (Article 179)

"CHAOS !!!! I cant believe article 179! It's against our rights in articles (41, 44, 45) It is a legalized qanoon taware2 - NO COMMENT"

  • Allow the adoption of a new election law neglecting the need for judicial supervision of every ballot box!! (Article 173)

"ya3ny mafeesh eshraaf qada2y!! Althgout in article 179 tam il3'aa2 al moda3y al eshteraky beza3m istiklal al qadaa2 .. 2y kalam"

  • Indirect & Illegal control on the type of Nowab the Egyptian Parliment (Article 62, 94)

"How? There is now a fixed ratio determined by law between al a7zaab wal mostaqeleen wal mar2a... so Government now can fix a certain ratio to limit al mostaqeleeen elly mesh 3agbenhom. Moreover, If Na2eb left his place for any reason, it's a obligatory to sho3'l makanoh in 60 days. hehe ya3ny elly yet2eleesh lazem yegeebo makano wa7ed 3ala tool.. we kolo bel dostoor ya basha"

  • Removing any socialistic (ishterakeya) related word (Article 59, 1, alot actually u'll notice)

"I dont mind actually because the whole world is mixed mode economy now. BUT notice article 59 and how it changed to protect environment !! elly howa nezaam fad magales hehe"

To be continued....

I have to sleep, got a long day tomorrow. I'll continue PART 2 soon isa. Ofcoarse el kalam fel mawadee3 de isnt banned because keda keda da istiftaa2 le kol el sha3b. And it's my right to vote according to the constitution. Please do sth positive and vote tomorrow. Either YES or NO. but participate...

آه يا أمي

ألحان…

ألحان…

حُبكِ يا أمي ألحان …

تشدُو في كل الأركان …

ترعاني عبر الأزمان …

تملئني عطفاً وحنان …

***

آه يا أمي …

يا من جعلتني إنسان …

وهبتني أقصى الإمكان …

يتلو إحسانها إحسان …

لا ترجو شكراً بلسان …

***

آه يا أمي …

مُذ ْ غِبتِ عَرَفتُ الحرمان …

لا ألقى الراحة بمكان …

أو أعرف معنى لأمان …

وأفكرُ بزمان ٍ كان …

***

آه يا أمي ...

قُربُكِ أو بُعدُكِ شَتان …

لا يثبُتُ لي فيه جَنَان …

يقلقني ألمُ الأشجان …

أتجرعُ مرَّ الأحزان …

***

آه يا أمي ...

هذا لم يَكُ في الحُسبان ...

طبعُ الأيام ِالدوران ...

ويصبًّرُني من غليان ...

بعض قليل من إيمان ...

***

آه يا أمي ...

أضناني طولُ الكتمان ...

لم أنس إلا النسيان ... !!

فبقربكِ كلُّ الأوطان ...

لك من ربي أحلى جِنَان ...

***

آه يا أمي ...

يا أغلى ما في الوجدان ...

يا حبَّ العُمرِ المُزدان ...

للقلب حياتُكِ خفقان ...

روحي لفدائك قربان ...
