Youssef Shaaban: Gagging of Freedom of Speech - Marwa Rakha

Dear President Mubarak

Your officers ruined what was supposed to be a perfect day for me! I could not sleep! I was on a seesaw of fear and anger; I would think of your police officers and their victims and fear would tighten its grip over my heart, then I would think of freedom of speech and basic human rights and anger would numb my mind! Because of your regime, I regret getting pregnant! Because of your officers, I did not want a baby boy! Because of your recurrent offences against human rights, I wish I was never born!

"انت مغيب"
"أفندم؟"
"أيوة ... انت بتتصرف وفقا لموروثك الثقافى مش وفقا لعقلك و قناعاتك الشخصية ... بالبلدى كدة حافظ مش فاهم. هما قالولك غير لكن هل انت فعلا حاسس بالغيرة؟ هما قالولك دى إهانة لكن هل انت حاسس بالإهانة؟"

He also addressed the president saying:

You are fast asleep and you don't know how messed up things have become; but I am sure you know how your government officials are behaving! You have no mercy! Your gang is running loose killing citizens and all you care about is the presidential chair. You are at war against your own people! Your gang will not protect you! If Egypt were invaded by some foreign country, they will run, and you will run, but we will stay and defend our country. This is our country and we want to be free from your occupation. When will you leave? When will Hosni Mubarak and his gang leave? When? We need a change! We need a drastic change away from this stagnant government!

If I were in "their" shoes, I would be scared too! Here is a young man who has firm beliefs – agree with them or not – and he lives by those beliefs! He is outspoken, courageous, and quite fearless – what could be scarier than such a man? He challenges all forms of authority! He is smart and cultured! He has a stance! Most important of all, he is a blogger who has a voice – a loud clear audible voice reiterating a clear compelling consistent message!

CAMPUS MAGAZINE: PREGNANT … I AM PREGNANT! - Marwa Rakha

From March 2005 until July 2010, I have successfully killed every little notion of motherhood inside of me; I have programmed my mind to overlook anything that is related to babies starting from articles on the internet, to books, toys, and maternity shops. I have consciously stopped myself from holding my nieces until they were at least one year old for fear of awakening the motherhood monster that I have sedated. I made peace with the two scenarios – being barren and cancer – and moved on with my life.

مروة رخا لمجلة احنا – مقاس جزمتك كام؟ - Marwa Rakha

بابا – الدكتور رخا – عالم حشرات و أخويا أصغر منى بسنة و كام شهر و طبعا دى كانت كارثة لما بابا كان بيحضر الدكتوراه. فكان الحل هو فصل القوات المؤقت: أنا أروح عند جدتى أم بابا و أخويا يفضل فى البيت. أنا مش هقعد أحكيلكم عن جمال الفترة اللى قضيتها عند جدتى و لا قد إيه مأثرة فى شخصيتى لحد دلوقتى (الله يرحمك يا تيتا). أنا هحكيلكم عن البلسم! الـ conditioner.

Why are you afraid of him? Is your faith that fragile? Are your religious beliefs that vulnerable? Are you that weak? Who are you to censor another human being's thoughts? He is free to think and write just as much as you are free to adopt different ideologies. Like you, Waleed was born with a right to choose! Like you, Waleed was born with the right to freedom of expression! God – the God you believe in – gave us all the right to choose and He is the only one to judge us! I am sure that God is ashamed of his own creation! It's a tale as old as time … the allegorical story of Cain and Abel! Man judging Man! Man killing Man! Man censoring Man! Man muzzling Man! Man silencing Man!

سألته سؤال بنات كتير بيسألوه ليا النهاردة: "فى ناس كتير كدة فعلا .. بس هى كان ممكن تعمل إيه؟ يعنى اللى حبيت واحد و غلطت معاه مش لازم تتجوزه؟"
"أولا مافيش حاجة اسمها غلطت معاه. حاولى كدة تترجمى الجملة دى لأى لغة مش هتعرفى. و فرضنا يا ستى ان كلامك صح، تصلح غلطة بغلطة؟ و تجيب عيال من راجل غلط يدفعوا معها تمن الغلطة؟ مين اللى قال ان علشان سنتيت و لا تلاتة و لا حتى عشرة ضاعوا فى علاقة مع شخص مش مناسب ان احنا لازم نكمل بقية عمرنا فى نفس الحماقة؟ و بعدين مين اللى قال ان الدنيا ماشية كدة؟"

أيهما أهم التعود أم الحب؟

الحب هو الذي يفتح الطريق لتكوين البيت والأسرة لكن التعود هو اللي بيعمر هذا البيت لذلك أنا أري أن التعود أهم من الحب و كذلك العشرة شرط أن تكون عشره طيبة.
