China Offers Bank Credit, Police Cars to Egypt’s President

China has made several gestures to Egypt's visiting president to help him boost the ailing Egyptian economy, offering credit to a major Egyptian bank and providing police cars for the country's security forces.

Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi secured the Chinese pledges of support on Tuesday, after arriving in Beijing on his first visit outside the Arab world since taking office in June. Mr. Morsi met with Chinese President Hu Jintao before the two leaders witnessed the signing of several economic agreements.

Under the deals, China will offer of $200 million in credit to the National Bank of Egypt and provide Egyptian police with 300 vehicles. A delegation of 80 Egyptian business leaders also was in Beijing to discuss investment projects with Chinese counterparts.
 
The Egyptian economy has been battered by the global economic slowdown and 18 months of political instability since the February, 2011 popular uprising that toppled longtime autocratic president Hosni Mubarak.
 
Sharp declines in Egypt's tourist arrivals and foreign investment have forced the government to seek billions of dollars in assistance from the International Monetary Fund.
 
Mr. Morsi is seeking to boost Chinese tourism and investment in his country, whose trade with China reached $8.8 billion last year, up 40 percent from 2008.
 
Morsi spokesman Yasser Ali said the two sides also discussed the violence in Syria, with both leaders agreeing that they should work together to “stop the bleeding in Syrian streets” and to oppose foreign military intervention.
 
Mr. Morsi is due to meet with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and Vice President Xi Jinping on Wednesday.

The Pharaohs started their preparation camp for the next world cup qualifiers in Sudan with a 2-1 win over Cameroon's local based squad on Sunday. Sunderland's winger Ahmed El-Elmohamady opened the scoring for the Pharaohs on the 41th minute of the game with a powerful header after an excellent cross from forward Mohamed Salah.
 
Ibrahim Salah's hand in the area gave Cameroon a correct penalty which they converted on the 75th minute of the game to make it 1-1.
 
Five minutes later, Mohamed Abou Treika made the difference for the Pharaohs by converting a penalty after right-back Bassem Aly, who replaced Elmohamady, was fouled in the area to give Egypt the lead for good.
 
The game witnessed the first participation of Brighton defender Adam El-Abd with the Egyptian national team. El-Abd played the second half-time after replacing Zamalek's defender Mahmoud Fathallah, but he didn't impress during the game.
 
The Pharaohs will meet Togo on Tuesday. Bob Bradley's team was scheduled to face Senegal on 25 may but this game became doubtful after Morocco revealed that they will host Senegal on the same date.
 
The Egyptian football association contacted  their Zambian counterpart in order for the latter to replace Senegal in Friday's friendly game.
 
Egypt is in the midst of preparing for their 2014 World Cup qualifier against Mozambique, set to be played on first June.

Egypt Porn Ban: Court Orders Censorship Of Pornographic Websites
Posted by TheAfricans Apr 2nd 2012

An Egyptian court has ordered the government to ban pornographic Internet websites in order to protect society and its values. The decision and a similar initiative in parliament has fed into fears by liberal and secular Egyptians that their country is moving down the path to fundamentalist Islam, following a sweeping victory by Islamists in parliamentary elections.

The ruling Wednesday came from a lower court and can be appealed. Three years ago a court made a similar ruling, but it was not enforced because at the time, officials argued filtering systems were not effective.
 
Human rights activists criticized the latest ruling and warned it was a violation of freedom of information in an already conservative society.
 
The pornographic website issue recently underlined the Islamist domination of parliament, when an ultraconservative lawmaker presented a query asking the government to ban pornographic websites because they endangered the morality of the country's youth. The lawmaker asked the government to introduce legislation banning sites that promote corruption and immorality.
 
Internet specialists said trying to ban pornography with a court ruling or legislation is ineffective. The use of parental controls is considered a more common way to curb access of minors to offensive content.
 
"It is very hard to implement and is ... a waste of resources," said lawyer Soha Abdel-Attie of the Egyptian Initiative for Human Rights. She said it was not clear if the new court order builds on the previous case or was a new ban.
 
Others said the ban is a violation of freedom of expression and information and could be followed by other steps to censor dissidents.
 
Ramy Raoof, an online activist, said during the regime of deposed leader Hosni Mubarak, the government blocked websites of Islamists for brief periods during election times to curb their activities.
 
During the 18-day uprising that toppled Mubarak, the government blocked the Internet for several days in an attempt to disrupt communications among activists. The measure failed to curb huge street protests against the regime.
 
Raoof said barring information is not a practical way to tackle social problems. He said such a court order was broad, lacking specifics on how to implement the ban, how to monitor its implementation, and what sites were deemed offensive.
 
"Censorship presumes that citizens are dumb and lack knowledge, and that the state must carry out that role for them because it knows better," he said. "If you want to protect people from trouble, it is never through withholding information."
 
Last month Tunisia's highest court overturned a similar court ban on pornographic websites that attempted to restore the filtering system in place before the country's revolution against its longtime leader. The court sent the case back to a lower tribunal for review.

Egypt will hold presidential elections in June

Egypt will hold municipal elections in July or August after the presidential election ends as scheduled in June, Local Development Minister Mohamed Ahmed Attiya told reporters Wednesday.

Attiya said a government panel formed to amend the law on municipal councils is working on granting those councils a more active role and wider powers, which might include monitoring governors and other officials.
 
The panel will submit the amendments to legislators for approval, Attiya said.
 
Authorities backtracked on their decision to form interim local councils because they wanted to maintain the democratic style that distinguished parliamentary elections, Attiya said.
 
He said the ballot boxes should determine the popular leaders who will represent citizens in different governorates.
 
The minister said municipal councils should have the right to review decisions adopted on all levels in their governorates to make sure people’s interests are met.
 
The government in July decided to dissolve the local councils as stipulated by a judicial ruling in June, which said 98 percent of local councils were dominated by the former ruling National Democratic Party.
 
The councils were meant to oversee local budgets and provide services but were accused of corruption.
