Of the assets of excellence and affiliation
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Certainly the joy of the victory of his People's National Football Championship, Africa is the real joy of unquestionable and hypocrisy. Certainly also praise the Egyptians who took joy in the streets victory spherical whether in Egypt or in the diaspora, remained under pressure or the guardianship of one, did not ask one another: Are you Muslim or Copt, did not think to ask one another whether in your field of religion or of any neighborhood you, and whether you have a private car or riding public transportation? Everyone was pleased with the completion of the large calculated to his homeland, regardless of anything else.
The voluntary departure did not happen automatically when one authorization or permission from another party, unlike the case of collective joy, and across all pleased about belonging to the homeland, which made some great sons is proud achievement in the field of competition and Didnh tender and sincerity, Finally, those who win gives more science and expertise.
The achievement previous access to the same championship in the previous two years ago, has raised expectations of many at the time for the cause of belonging particularly among young people that went to support his team all the energy, as the national team is a symbol of a whole nation, and then left scores and groups to celebrate the victory, as did two days ago. astonishment and then some of us talk about the absence of affiliation between the younger generation and this case, at a time when many of them expressed their dissatisfaction about the state of their country and their desire to Fragaha migration of them, even if necessary adventurous life itself may be terminated at sea rough.
The situation of collective joy witnessed by Egypt now provide another answer to the situation of alienation felt by some within the homeland, answer simply says that individuals need to feel more permanent members of the community as a large, regardless of the natural differences existing between them, They always need to confirm fungal Association and the fateful them as one homeland, and the collective sense of pride resulting from the completion of the case is the entrance to strengthen the nation and the Commonwealth of citizenship, which is the entrance to revive the spirit of giving to everyone individually. however, that access to This situation in turn depends on the collective manner in which achieved overall achievement, which is where everyone has to share in it, which does not only come through genuine partnership and voluntary and protected by law, and that the completion of the right and not coincidence or adventure-calculated , or in other words, Walid planning and clarity of purpose and will power in the face liabilities nearby liabilities before long.
Certainly here that the overwhelming joy due to the general feeling that this well-deserved victory receivable and not a coincidence or luck passing. Walid is thought and planning and tired, effort and excellent performance and the will and determination to do everything possible his energy. Importantly, teamwork and spirit the team that some decay of some of the support and backing. little closer and these conditions frequently found in books development, and comparisons are usually held between progress and underdevelopment. Applicants know these principles and work at it by heart, but not retarded know nothing of them, and they treated each time and ignored another time, usually a longer, and therefore remain in failure and faltering brought while others achieve progress by one.
These meanings are not new in themselves, it is one of the assets belonging and superiority and the ticket is required, or indeed necessary to withdraw those sports positive experience to other fields of industry, agriculture, education, arts and culture to the bottom of the list of fields of life perverted by the United civilizations and promoted by .
Perhaps the lesson here is that achieving eloquent achievement in any field is not impossible if the elements and customary factors referred to above, combined with an iron will aspire to excellence and tender with the Department take into account the interests of the country before anything else. No doubt that many in Egypt of fields that need to be inspired by such a lesson, perhaps to achieve the required shift sought by all Egyptians. these meanings National League does not come through conferences or cultural events and political thought, as some of us and some of the latest coming from across the border each aim to deepen the differences between the sons of the homeland or the search for foreign pressure on the entire country or for the purpose of establishing priorities subsidiary and partial does not serve only category at the expense of another category.

The Pharaohs are kings again
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Two burly, muscle-bound attendants carried the CAF Africa Cup of Nations trophy into Accra's Ohene Djan stadium on a traditional chair in which kings are usually hoisted in Ghana.

But the golden symbol of African footballing prowess is now winging its way back to the land of the Pharaohs after Egypt beat Cameroon 1-0 in Sunday's tense final.

It was as much as the defending champions deserved, putting on a consistent performance throughout the tournament and once again stamping their supremacy on the continent's football.

Two years ago they were victors for a record fifth time on home soil and needed a post-match penalty shootout to win. But the class of 2008 proved a far more polished outfit, starting the finals with a 4-2 rout of the Indomitable Lions and finishing off with a 1-0 victory over the same team in the decider.

Mohamed Aboutrika scored the only goal, profiting from the persistence of Mohamed Zidan. The Hamburg man had a virtual wrestling match with Cameroon captain Rigobert Song to supply a square pass that man-of-the-match Aboutrika calmly side footed home.

Zidan caught the ageing central defender off balance with his pace, effectively robbing him of the ball

The goal came 13 minutes from the end of a physically sapping battle, leaving both sides struggling with the heat and humidity in the Ghanaian capital.

Aboutrika has made a habit of netting winning goals. Two years ago he converted the decisive kick in the penalty shootout that saw Egypt edge out the Ivorians. He was also the scorer of the goal that won the 2006 CAF Champions League title for his club side Al Ahly.

"But scoring for your national team is a much better feeling. It is doing it for the whole country," he said afterwards.

On the balance of play Egypt had the better chances and it was only the talent of Cameroon goalkeeper Idriss Carlos Kameni that kept the score down to just a single goal.

The Espanyol net-minder made some fine stops to ensure the Indomitable Lions remained in the battle throughout a tense 90 minutes. His save to deny Emad Moteab in the 36th minute came at a vital juncture of game with less than ten minutes to go to the break.

Cameroon cling
After the interval, Kameni was also on hand to stop a powerful drive from Hosni Abd Rabou, whose performances over six matches earned him plaudits from all corners of the globe. He also hit the post with a diving header just after the hour mark.

Cameroon were finally galvanised after going down a goal and a jittery Egypt defence opened a window of opportunity in the last ten minutes of the contest. However, Essam Al Hadari made two saves and then Song went wide with his last-gasp header to make sure the title went Egypt's way.

As the gold tinsel paper blew into the Accra night sky, and the winning team engulfed Ghana's president John Kufuor to snatch at the trophy, so the abiding memory of this Cup of Nations will be one of Egyptian efficiency and overall class

American elections .. interest groups and the masses of votes
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Each time the race starts the American elections, raises the same reason Arab political questions about the quality .. Which is better judgement .. Democratic Party or Republican, whichever is more fortunate. Them and will support more or less to the interests of the region .. However, careful follow-up suggests that there is no radical differences between the positions of the two big in America but in the details. classical sense and the party no longer has value in relation to the roles of interest groups and voting blocs quality .. How? .
We have explained the American elections that took place in 2000 over the political life of America competition partisan sense customary as is the case in Europe, and restored American tradition existed until World War I support the central American presidency in the expression of America: interest groups .. president-elect is not considered a candidate for the party or advocate for his nationalism, but to the interests of the giant economic entities that are organized political groups with known interests.
The two major parties in the end, only two channels for the delivery of the candidate regardless of party affiliation to assume the presidency of the United States. Observers of the political ramifications of America over recent years can be observed for example how the majority enjoyed by the Democratic Party in Congress did not change the orientations of the American administration regarding their policies and that these external majority agreed to everything that had been asked of the special budgets American Security .. etc..
Observers also campaigns for the current candidates for the presidency of the two could not observe any differences and clear them .. supported the establishment of the State Judaism is democratic and republican .. (paging reduce taxes without reducing the budgets allocated for the security of America / also careful to control the sources of energy, but within the framework of a comprehensive strategy
No retreat from the war on terrorism, but should not be excessive announcement) .. and it is no longer the relationship between the citizen and the party in America knows the same relationship defined by Europe. each party reflects the rescue of a European gathering of social groups and specific economic terms depends on the arrival to power of the voices belonged to him and sympathizers ,
While the party includes American rescue groups and various social strata and the successful candidate does not depend primarily on the status of party members .. weight and realistic to support this party or that in America no members belonging to it, but groups and voting blocs, which seeks candidate voices with promises to achieve their interests.
Hence, we find a group of voters, in fact, are not partisan, but is composed of interest groups and the masses of quality, as these groups seek to influence politicians and policy .. and this makes presidential candidate interested in these groups and diverse voting blocs .. and help the electoral system American .. Since the Kennedy assassination (of the mandate of Massachusetts) Democratic 1963, did not succeed in any democratic candidate for the chair of the North .. Both Carter and Clinton from the southern states characterized by the predominance social trends and religious preservation (comprising bloc votes of up to 40 million votes). in this context is starting to crystallize specific voting blocs: the religious, color, ethnicity, or any geographic southern and northern , and link these blocks network of interests which put its supreme military industrial complex technological financial expressed by various interest groups (the arms industry, medicine, oil, etc. ..). above, can say that the Republican Party did not practice governing for the past eight years (2000 2008), although the official results say,
But the government is an alliance between the new-conservatives and the new religious right, a coalition that unlike radical shifts in ideological and political map of America, where conservatives across a group of new rich minority interests for America, and across the religious right itself shines as new votes religious nature. new conservatives has been able to resolve historic place of the traditional liberal trend to express their interests and the wealthy minority investment Altrliunet. also succeeded through intellectual discourse in the promotion of conservation values are maintained attract religious bloc voting base to become social although it includes a variety of social groups and the poor segments of the Central and rich However, the Association is gathered them religious, it does not matter that the new administration passed legislation containing tax exemptions for the benefit of the rich and increase the gap between them and the poor and accept the consequence that the spiritual and moral values contrary to justice and equal opportunity , but did not object poor because of this legislation and privileges enjoyed by the rich are under the cover of religion.
The foregoing that each party seeks through its candidates to flirt with the bloc voting, regardless of party affiliation, and study mission by Brookings Institution (2007) entitled American policies and religious division to the determinants of voting in America, True, they are focusing on the role of religion and religious voting bloc essentially, that the study explains the basic parameters at the outset to vote and how intersects religion, race and jurisdiction in the electoral process at the expense of political choice. recent studies also reveal the neutralization and blockade, which carried out the possibility crystallized political trends and ideological affiliation beyond qualitative.
It is now in the collections is that the minority of the rich do not need for its own benefit but for the masses of votes committed to ensure the success of candidates such as religious voting bloc that could provide nearly 25% of the total voting unit and one non-fragmented, bearing in mind that participants in the electoral process no more 50% in the elections, which are grassroots elections and the electoral college can be controlled as in the case of the election of President Bush (2000) when it lost the elections grass-roots (obtained less than 48% ), and succeeded in obtaining 271 votes of the electoral college votes of the total 538.
Sum should understand the phenomenon of America from the inside and discover how to deal not only with the parties but with interest groups and voting blocs and thus visions and plans if we want to influence, and Mahidin support of the political process. Especially as this type of democracy seems to be required to prevail in many areas: democratic process take place between the minority rich and the masses of the votes, but few Organization and committed, and the majority of political absent .. which turned a long-standing democracies (German andJapanees).
