In order to grow the state, he continued, his government saw cooperation and partnership as key components. The nation's second-highest producer of cattle, the state is endowed with a wealth of agricultural potential. Due to its strategic location sharing a border with both the Republics of Niger and Benin, the state has also developed into the hub of animal husbandry in West Africa.

  Due to the recent rise in the price of crude oil on a worldwide scale and the depreciation of the local currency, Egypt has increased the price of diesel by about 14%. The price of the gasoline used to power the majority of the nation's public transportation would increase by 1 Egyptian pound to 8.25 Egyptian pounds ($0.27) per litre as of Thursday. According to a statement from Egypt's domestic fuel pricing committee, the decision was taken "in light of the increase in international prices for crude oil and petroleum products as well as the exchange rate of the pound against the dollar". Consequently, the Egyptian Ministry of Local Development announced a 10% increase in public bus fares. The cost of gasoline won't alter. It was the second meeting of the year.

  Great Pyramid, also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, is located in Al Haram, Nazlet El-Semman, Al Giza Desert, Giza Governorate in the Arab Republic of Egypt. It is the tomb of the Fourth Dynasty Pharaoh Khufu. The largest Egyptian pyramid is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is the oldest and the tallest of the three pyramids. In the 1990s, Khafre and Menkaure pyramids suggested that the pyramids were built by labourers. They used to eat a meat-rich diet. Further analysis of the workers' remains showed that they received various medical treatments. Some researchers said that the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. Researchers believe it was built over 4,500 years ago. They also believe that 30,000 Egyptian labourers built the pyramid for three different Pharaohs. The Greek historian Herodotus said that 100,000 men took 20 years to build the Great Pyramid at Giza. Three pyramids were built at Giza over the span of three generations by the rulers Kh...

  Following meetings aimed at lessening Damascus' isolation, the foreign ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council as well as Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan agreed on Friday that the Arab community must take the lead in efforts to mediate a resolution to Syria's war. At the invitation of Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, the top diplomats from GCC members Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as those from Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan, gathered in Jeddah. According to a statement issued by the Saudi foreign ministry early on Saturday, the ministers emphasized the "importance of having an Arab leadership role in efforts to end the crisis". Syria's membership in the Arab League was terminated in 2011 due to the government's ruthless suppression of anti-President Bashar Al Assad rallies. Over half a million people have died in the civil war that started as protests and forced approximately half of the populati...

The late appearance of Egypt in Sudanese politics has sought the eyes of the world.  When on 25 October 2021 the Sudan military ousted the transitional prime minister from power. That time PM was Abdullah Hamdok. Now after 16 months the neighbor Egypt took a stand and came into the spotlight. Now after a long time, Eygpt started a ‘Quick Political Solution’. All this came after several voices from huge sections of the Sudanese public, the announcement by Egypt came when the Egyptian ambassador was conspicuously absent and the country chose not to join the ranks of the UK, USA, UAE, and Saudi Arabia.  Although the world knows that no one can understand the depth of Sudan's opinion and condition more than Egypt. The history of this country is linked. Egypt knows the historical signs of Islamic heroism in Sudan, and Egypt has seen the journey of Sudan to independence. Therefore, Egypt always tried to suppress Islam in Sudan. Egypt has seen the new leaders move too, which were sho...

  The Muslim Brotherhood is a missionary organisation that was started in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, a teacher who lived close to the Suez Canal in the town of Ismailia. He maintained that the Muslim world could catch up to the West and end colonial control if Islam saw a religious renaissance. But when it came to the group's objective, he was vague and contradictory, and he mostly avoided describing what an Islamic government might entail. His beliefs were widely disseminated outside of Egypt, and now there are many different Islamist political movements with origins in the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, including missionary, charity, and advocacy organisations as well as political parties in many different countries. These organisations go by various names, some of which include the "Muslim Brotherhood." The Egyptian Brotherhood was one of the numerous groups to establish paramilitary wings during the British-backed monarchy's rule in the 1940s. The grou...

  In line with its actions against the growing threat of terrorism in the country and the regions, Egypt has announced ban on books on extremism and the Muslim Brotherhood in Mosques. The action will be implemented in the next 15 days, announced the Egyptian Ministry of Endowments. Egyptian minister Mohammed Mokhtar Gomma stressed on the decision saying that the government will be going through the books in the libraries of the mosques and there will be proper re-examining of those literature, magazines and other things. They will be removed if it is found that they have extremist ideology or belong to any particular extremist group. He also emphasized that those who did not adhere to the ruling or the directive, will have to bear tough punishments. Mokhtar further warned all the imams to take a pledge to not allow any books to be included in the mosque libraries until they receive permission from the General Administration of Religious Guidance in the Ministry’s genera...

  At least 43 migrants and refugees are feared to have drowned while 84 were rescued after a shipwreck off Tunisia’s coast. This boat sailed from Zuwarah on Libya’s northwest coast, carrying migrants and refugees from Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea and Bangladesh. These migrants were trying to cross the Mediterranean to reach Italy. This desperate attempt was made since the asylum seekers were struggling for interpreters at the USEU border. Though the Libyan navy acknowledges the dangerous chase of the migrant boat, still many drowned in the sea. It can be seen in the camera that the Libyan coastguards were chasing behind to save the people. Rather the navy rescued 84 migrants and 43 others drowned in a boat that set off from Libya’s Zuwara towards Europe.   Since Libya is a frequent departure point for Europe-bound migrants making a dangerous Mediterranean Sea crossing. It can be seen from 2014 that more than 20,000 migrants and refugees have died at sea while trying to reach Euro...

  A company of all-women tank operators will be stationed along the Egyptian border next month for the first time in the military’s history as part of an ongoing pilot program to assess the feasibility of female armored crews. The female tank crews are currently completing their training at the IDF’s Shizafon Base in the Negev desert, which houses the military’s Armored Corps School. After a short break, they will then be sent into the command of the mixed-gender Caracal Battalion, which defends the northern portion of Israel’s border with Egypt.

Turkey has expressed its desire to improve its economic ties with Egypt ahead of Turkish delegations visit to Cairo towards the end of this week. Ankara is trying to repair troubled diplomatic ties with Cairo so that economic benefits can be served for its expansion. The move will reportedly push for bettering diplomatic ties between these two regional powers, said the Trade Minister Mehmet Mus on Monday. Since 2013, the ties between Cairo and Ankara have been strained due to their different regional stances. Egypt’s army was known for its strong opposition towards terrorism and hence they had killed president of Muslim Brotherhood, who was known to be close to Turkish powers. Ankara had termed it as a military coup. The whole incident was responsible for straining ties between the two nations and since then leaderships of either of the nations refrained from visiting each other. But it has come as a surprise after Turkish expressed its interest in repairing ties with Egypt. Mus told i...

I wanted to share something intriguing about what I read today. It’s actually about how Egypt sentenced life imprisonment Mahmud Ezzat, the top leader of the banned Muslim Brotherhood after he was found guilty of “terrorism,”. “The Cairo Criminal Court on Thursday sentenced Mahmoud Ezzat, the acting supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood designated as a terrorist, to life for murder and terrorism charges,” . He was found guilty of “incitement to murder” and of having “supplied weapons” during clashes between demonstrators outside the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013, said a judicial source, who also confirmed the sentence. Ezzat is reported to have joined the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1960s, and spent time in jail under Egypt’s late presidents Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak.

  I wanted to share something intriguing about what I read today. It’s about   considering Turkey's stressed relations with different nations. Looking at it, specialists will in general recommend Turkish-Russian ties as a potential model for compromise. In spite of their varying positions, Ankara and Moscow have created political understandings on Syria, the Caucasus and North Africa. These understandings could be reached with Egypt also.   In fact, regardless of whether a full compromise among Ankara and Cairo doesn't occur any time soon, maybe they may go into a time of armistice, which would in any case be a positive advance. For this reason such an improvement may not just keep them from hurting each other's advantages in the area, it could likewise prepare for future compromise.

  Egypt has entered the league of nuclear program developing nations with its historic development of the first nuclear plant in the country.

  The United States has tremendous power and those considered as its allies will avail the benefits of it. As it considers making Qatar an ally, concerns about Doha’s activities in the Middle East region grows. Doha has not exactly been beneficial for the Arab world considering its links and support to the terrorism. It is a well established fact that Qatar not only holds ties with Muslim Brotherhood but also funds the organization and its various branches. Now if the US considers making Qatar an ally, it will have to fight the belief of Qatar that supports the ideology against the West and democracy. Earlier today, the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Arabian Gulf Affairs Timothy Lenderking confirmed that the US is indeed considering Qatar as a major non-NATO ally. This designation provides major benefits in trading and defense matters. The west is clearly looking for a corporate opportunity with the richest country in the world  and making an attempt to sell ...
