The Workshops Acquired by Al Maqarr
I must say that I was privileged to invest in a startup at such a young age of 25 and privileged to learn until this moment, where all of us, the founders, are no longer able to contribute to this project.

Egypt anti-Terror law for the Internet, 5 years for incitement, 10 years for illegal access.
Ramy Raoof shared the news about the recently approved Egyptian anti-terror law, and the clauses related to the internet and social networks. I'm providing a rough translation here: Clause 29 of the law Any person who created or used a website on telecommunication networks, or the internet, or the likes, for the sake of inciting terrorist ideologies, to mislead or obstruct investigations by authorities, to exchange messages and information locally and internationally with terrorists, or send orders to terrorists will be sentenced to at least five years of high security imprisonment.

URGENT Call of Action: Solidarity needed with Mahinour ElMasry and her fellow detainees

Things have changed
I feel so related to this song. Worried all the time, thinking all the time. Going back home in the last train, in the end of the day, with no one in front of me, and trying to feel nothing behind. Getting the awkward feeling every year passing the Valentine Day as a single, from time to time looking forward to getting crazy as someone drunk from champagne.
