365 days ago.. Atef yehia..

Graffiti - Atef yehia
Graffiti - Atef yehia 

I wont tell a new story in this post, i just want to remember one the Egyptian Martyrs, not one of the famous ones, but what made him special for me is that he was a friend of mine.

Atef died after a long journey fighting against the bullet he took in his head during the protest took place last year in the memory of the Palestinian Nakba by the Israeli embassy in Giza-Egypt.

The protest that day last year 15-5-2012 was peaceful as usual but when the protesters asked the authorities to bring down the Israeli flag in respect to the Palestinian struggle and resistance the Egyptian army gone mad, started shooting protesters with tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition.. which broke through my friend's head from behind his right ear and gone out from above his right eye brow.

The damage happened to his brain was permanent, he lost all of his functions.. 
Atef was his mother's only boy with a passed away dad, you cannot imagine how miserable and depressed was this lady when she heard about her only son, What Atef had experienced in El-Kasr Einy hospital after his injury is indescribable.. the lack of respectful heath care and emergency treatment were disastrous.

Ultras March 15th February

Ultras Ahly Marching to the public prosecutor's office
Ultras members holding banners of the port-said massacre martyrs.
It was a great March, Great numbers but i didn't like it very much because the organization, Ultras members wanted to dominate their rules on the people who joined the march to show solidarity with the Ultras demands which are the same demands of the normal people.
I respect the ultras mentality but i cant accept to be dominated like any other Ultras member inside a stadium during a football match.. may be it's very normal for them.. i respect the way they organize themselves and i like it, but when you invite many sectors of Egyptians to a march specially when it's a national issue you should respect the way other people want to organize themselves and if you cant live with that so you shouldn't invited them from the beginning to make your message more clearer at least.
Yesterday after the march i was speaking with some friends and they said that it's the Ultras mentality.. and they will keep doing that..
Anyways the most important thing is we had a great march against the Military rule asking for Justice for the Martyrs.
