Qalioub Train Catastrophe!!
What happened in Qalioub that morning was a human catastrophe .. just another one added the series of disasters resulted from negligence of one particular segment of the Egyptian society despite it is the majority of it!!!! and guess which segment of class?!! it is the poorest of the Egyptians!!! god forgive us all, this is something that can not be tolerated nor understood!! every few months we have similar train accident; they are getting serious every time .. we were devastated by Al-Saa'ied train when poor upper Egyptians Cairo workers were heading south to celebrate Eid Al Adha with their families, when the third class -totally inhumane carriages- went on fire and hundreds of poor people lost their lives. More and more accidents took place including the theatre fire in Beni Suef when some prominent Egyptian intellectuals were simply caught inside and died quietly or the sinking ships in the red sea too, the last one was few months ago .. when the government has ignored –as always- the feelings of all the families of the victims and the president instead of going to support the victims and their families he went to attend the African soccer tournament final when Egypt won it, nobody thought to mention the suffering in the middle of the victory as if “no voice should be louder than the battle’s” stupid saying!!
It is a serious of negligence of all kinds of safety measures in any kind of transportation the Egyptians use on daily basis. If there is anything to be taken care of –as far as safety is concerned- it is the safety of the rulers and regime!!
Simply the Egyptian citizen means nothing to his government!!
God is watching and the rights that were taken from all those victims will not go in vain!
Thank you once again and thanks god our closer family members and friends are safe but indeed some other fellow Egyptians, Muslims and sure non Muslims are sleeping –if any- with tears and sad atmospheres. May be we don’t know them but we should not forget them. also others in Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq and God knows where else are also spending tonight in such difficult conditions.
