The Egyptian government is seeking a massive loan from the International Monetary Fund to help the country’s foundering economy.

The negotiations between government officials and IMF representatives in Cairo is contingent on proving that the nation is serious about economic reform.

In the latest cases of violent persecution, Muslims stormed a mosque in suburban Cairo, turning it into a torture chamber for Christians. The Christians were singled out from groups protesting the Muslim Brotherhood’s President Morsi. Experts fear that this is only the beginning of the days of trouble and expect the persecution and tribulation will grow much worse.

Demonstrators were taken from the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in suburban Cairo to a nearby mosque this past Friday and tortured for hours by hard-line Islamic militia members. (more…)

Experts are estimating anywhere between 30 million and 120 million locusts are swarming around Egypt. The flying pests attacked the El-Obour Market in Cairo on Sunday and have also threatened Suez farmers to the north.

Tuesday, Israel mobilizes as millions of locusts descend like a story out of the Old Testament and by Wednesday morning agriculture Ministry workers armed with pesticides went into action at first light, using both aerial and ground sprays in the area. The locusts descended across the border into southern Israel from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.

Swarms of locusts had not yet entered Tel Aviv in force, like they hit Cairo although a few stray locusts did manage to make their way to various places across Israel. The ministry said they will continue to monitor the situation in Egypt closely.

Thousands take to the streets, set up tents in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, block trains and express their dissatisfaction over the Muslim Brotherhood cabinet and President Mohammed Morsi.

Hundreds more gathered outside the office of Egypt’s chief prosecutor demanding justice and retribution for the protesters who were killed in clashes with security forces after Islamist President Morsi took office this past summer. (more…)

The Islamic Summit met in Cairo, over this past weekend, amidst turbulence in the Egyptian streets.

Egypt, Turkey and Iran come together to talk discuss the Syrian crisis, even though Egyptian president Morsi is facing a crisis of his own at home.

This was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s debut trip to Egypt, the first by an Iranian president since the 1979 Islamic revolution. The two-day meeting was focusing on how to stop the civil war in Syria, where President Bashar al-Assad counts Tehran as one of his best and maybe his last friend. (more…)

Ahmadinejad said at the 12th Islamic Summit Conference in Cairo this week, that Iran is ready to march on Israel and “wipe it out” if the Jewish state strikes Iran’s nuclear facilities, in his latest anti-Semitic tirade.

Out of the other side of his mouth he said, Iran already is a nuclear state, but they have no intention of launching an attack against Israel. (more…)

It’s a new day, a new dawn for Cairo, but is it a step in the right direction? Egypt’s Muslim President Morsi says, “We don’t want to return to an era of one opinion and fake, manufactured majorities. The maturity and consciousness (of voters) heralds that Egypt has set on a path of democracy with no return.” (more…)

“No to liberalism, no to secularism, I don’t want anything other than sharia,” the protesters chanted in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. Some waved black flags emblazoned with Islamic slogans. “Islamiya, Islamiya,” people shouted, highlighting divisions in the Egyptian society as rival factions jostle to shape their new nation. Cairo’s Tahrir Square was the center of the uprising that collapsed the Hosni Mubarak regime after he spent 30 years keeping a tight lid on the Islamists. (more…)

Cairo’s request to temporarily station five attack helicopters in the Sinai Peninsula was a departure from peace treaty framework between Israel and Egypt, but Israeli ministers approved the request.

After two days of heavy fighting between the Egyptian military and Jihadi terrorist cells in the Sinai, they made the request to temporarily change the security limitations established in the 1979 Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty. (more…)

There is great concern on the Israeli side of the Egyptian border. Israeli leaders are strongly urging Cairo to retake full control over the Sinai Peninsula. This area has turned into a lawless haven for militants and jihadists.

In reference to this latest attack, Ehud Barak, the Israeli defense minister, said that this Palestinian lawlessness must be stopped. The militant fighters attacking an Egyptian base in the northern Sinai, killing 16 police is a “wake up call” for the Egyptian authorities. (more…)
