The day after the Match

I am really surprised how things turned on after Egypt vs Algeria match! There is no clear picture of what happened in Khartoum , but is is clearly no like what had been told in the Egyptain media. This article in (al Sudanese)( Arabic ) newspaper explain what happen to the Egyptian fan in Khartoum. The whole things seems to be very minor incident which is expect after any match specially if it is for a world cup qualification. From a Sudanese preservative, people were happy to have such a match in their city, but how the the Egyptain media(specially Amer Adeeb & Ibrahim Higazi, Google them) portrayed Sudan as a jungle people are really angry on Egypt. No one in Egypt is talking about the Match and why did they lose the Match! instead they are escalating the tension with Algeria. That what I call "state of denial" in reference to: الاعتذار الرسمى أو المهانة !! ( view on Google Sidewiki ) Related articles by Zemanta Football fever turns nasty in Cairo (cn

Everyone knows where the Egyptian and Algeria are standing, but what about Sudanese? While Algeria chose Tunisia , Egypt choice was on Khartoum. basically for logistic reasons.

Egypt in fact occupied Sudan with British partnership. currently Egypt is occupying Sudanese territories which it claim it was never a Sudanese territory before. There was

Bashir’s Trip to Turkey!

President Bashir of Sudan recently declined, in last minute, from going to Turkey to participate in the meeting of the Islamic Conference Organization. It was not surprise as Bashair need to calculate his travel plans very careful, wrong country and he may never return back to Sudan again. What is strange is that the presidential airplane made it to Turkey but surprisingly Bashir was not on board!!! What does this mean? The official explanation is Bashir is tight to issues related to the upcoming election and the disturbed relation with its power sharing partner. other story is his deputy Ali Osman advice against going to Turkey as the president plain may be kidnapped by Israel air force airplanes or by Greece which according to a rumour is ready to intercept Bashir plane and bring him to ICC . I think the security staff around Bashir advice him not to go in the face of these threats and to send a test Balloon to see if Israel or Greece or anyone else is really going to intercep
