Take Caire




Two weeks... that's about the time I have now spent thinking how I was going to describe Cairo to those who actuall read this blog, and I know there is at least one person (won't tell you who though;). There are indeed many ways to do it. According to several sources,someone's vision on this massive gigalopolis changes frequently with time passing by. So, let's gather our thoughts, and start from scratch... Not exactly cause I had the chance to visit Egypt two times in the past, my best "ivorycostian" friend Christian having lived here for four years.
At that time, we were all about leisure and entertainment. This time, it's all about work! My job which, in the end, gives me an amazing opportunity to discover a nation, a region, a culture, as well as what's is happening behind the curtains of power...
We are now set up in a beautiful flat in Zamalek which is Cairo's ile St Louis, a little world on his own. It is definilty quite chic to live here, surrounded by most Embassies and beautiful appartments, we are once more spoiled little kids!
You know how much i like to express my political opinions, and once again, I won't restrain myself because I trully believe in the butterfly effect which has even more meaning in this globalization era. What is happening in Egypt, the strongest and most powerful country in the region is most certainly influencing european and american policies in term of investment, military strategy as well as foreign political decisions. Enough for today and I am already running very late as for the postings, but be sure that I am doing my best to keep up with your expectations!!!!

There are a few random wanderers who read your post too... although being a friend of Scott's I'm not entirely random but am addicted.

Love the images of Cairo. Makes the view from my desk at Melbourne Uni seem a little drab...

Catch Ahmet Polat, if you can…

Image
With his prophet-like style, Ahmet Polat is on a quest for identity, dialogue and stories. At merely 30 years old, Polat has exposed his work in more than twenty exhibitions since 1999, at galleries including Stroom (The Hague), RAM (Rotterdam), the Photo Museum (The Hague), Karsi Sanat (Istanbul), and the most prestigious Turkish art venue, The Istanbul Modern. In 2006, the International Centre of Photography (ICP), the world’s leading photography foundation, has for the first time awarded Turkish photographer Ahmet Polat as “The World’s Best Young Photographer Award”. Polat, by wining the award, showed that he could stand proud in the international arena, along side veteran photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Thomas Rose, and Jeff Krueger. Son of a forcefully adaptive Turkish lorry-driver, Ahmet Polat’s extraordinary realization has naturally placed him as the new Turkish photography torchbearer. “I wasn’t going for it” he commented when we started recording, but still got succ

Thoughtfull moment

The time has come for this blog to host my thoughts and impressions on a culture, which surrounds me every day here in Algeria, namely Islam. To me, Algeria is a very puzzling place because it represents greatly the edge between certain radicalism and a progressism that has emerged after the end of the terror period, in 1997. There are many signs of a relative opening towards a more occidental culture since president Bouteflika, who leads this country with an iron glove, has come into power. The « new » Algerian generation like many developing countries, faces a very trivial choice ahead: Either they pack up and immigrate to neighbouring Spain or France for a « better » future, or remain in Algeria and create a middle class that is desperately lacking. A friend of mine told me how easy it was to literally climb on a boat, bribe a couple of officials and travel to Marseille, join relatives or friends for a Pastis on the Canebière. On the other hand, Algeria experiences a great economic

Lynchpin of Middle Eastern politics

Image
Hi eveyone, t's been a while... Find below a very interesting piece of article (written by Paola Caridi www.lettera22.it form the independent journalist association) to give you a better insight on the extremely complex situation in the middle east, and the difficult and strategic relationship with the US. I added a couple of pictures of the recent trips to relax your eyes and (hopefully) make you jealous...hehe Nation of strategic importance. Element of regional stability. In the view of American foreign policy for the Middle East and North Africa over the last thirty years, Egypt has merited mostly flattering comments on the regional role it has played. And all things considered, the compliments have reflected what Egypt has really meant to the USA’s political strategies towards the Middle East, the Arab nations, and the whole region. Including Iran. If only because, in that part of the world, the alliance with Egypt has been the most important and most unexpected diplomatic succ
