Yep, something that many don't know or see. I haven't seen this thread in a while and glad you've kept it going, my bro. Much appreciated. Those are a lot of great videos that one needs a lot of time to go through them. I have seen a couple already but I will take a look at them later ISA. Keep up the good work, bro!

30 cities! 30 cities, man lol. People have no idea what's happening in Egypt under Sisi and all they think about is what makes terrible news headlines in the couple mall spots by a few of them scum sucking hogs way up north near Gaza.
The industrialization like what is happening in Ain Sokhna is out of this world! I was there last year as part of our Red Sea trip and I couldn't believe what is going on. The fisheries alone are a whole ball of game altogether. I forget which country it was that was seeking Egypt's help in creating successful fisheries because they saw the incredible success that was happening in that field. I'll try to look it up.
I think the biggest game changer that he's been pushing and making incredible success with is the unprecedented amount of housing projects that are going up which is why all these cities are needed which eventually will lead to the plan of pulling the majority of people out of the slums and into great places to live. This is really one of the best things IMO that he's doing, the housing development is truly remarkable.
lol, look at the amount of construction going on. I'll tell you what, back in the late 70's and into 80 and 81, before he was assassinated, I remember watching Sadat's speeches with my father (Allah Yerhamu) and he spoke about it then! The need to create desalination plants all over the northern coast as well as the Red Sea in order to lessen Egypt's dependence on the Nile. So imagine that?! Sadat was talking about doing this back in the late 70's early 80's and who's actually pushing it and getting it done at an unprecedented pace now? Yep, El Rayis himself. Good stuff, SC bro. Keep up the good work.

Yes Man.. it is even hard to keep up wit everything on a weekly basis..let alone on a daily basis.. it is just beyond normal belief..the amount of projects is stunning.. but not only that.. everything used for it is 4 th generation tech.. no wonder all major world economic institutions predict Egypt to be a G-20 nation by 2030.. Egypt can be considered one if not the most serious nation about turning the wheel of progress to its advantage.. the political will is there, the popular will is there.. all the institutions are there in fact..It is leading the other Arab nations by example..I am not easily impressed by anything in life.. but let me tell you brother..what is going on in Egypt right now is pretty impressive (I do confess though that it is almost the same feeling as for Saudi Arabia and the UAE of course.. albeit what each one is concentrating on might be different but by all means complementary)..and guess what, this is just the beginning..lol.. Allah o Akbar!

Indeed it's staggering. The other interesting thing is how you really don't hear much of what is going on in the mainstream media or even international media, for that matter. They want to hear or talk about the chaos, instead. Things like the Egyptian army struggling against a few ISIS dirt bags is more attractive to them because it's negative information and negative information is more appealing to hear about. The same goes for Saudiya. You don't hear anything about the amazing programs MBS is setting up for the Saudi people. The universities or the fact that there are more women studying in universities than men! Some of this stuff is just too good to be thrown into media circles that always view bad news and the "better" news. Instead, you hear only about Houthi attacks and missiles or Saudiya bombing whatever in Yemen etc. It's too bad.
Another example is a Chinese member here (I believe I was discussing the EAF C-130s stopping in Pakistan) and I was telling him/her that maybe they were just refueling and their final destination is actually China since we know it is very involved in many projects in Egypt including the new capital. He says "New capital? I'm gonna have to do some catching up." There's a perfect example of how little known many of these things are including the construction of the new Cairo by some Chinese firms to a Chinese member on this forum! I thought that was tremendous and a perfect example of what I'm talking about. It's no fault of his and I certainly am not demeaning him for not knowing about that. It's just he's a victim of the lack of information that is out there and unless you are genuinely interested in that particular subject and attempt to seek out information on the goings on and steady updates, then you won't know anything about them.

Egypt to become regional manufacturer for Chinese COVID-19 vaccine
Daily News Egypt 2 hours ago
Minister of Health Hala Zayed and China’s Ambassador to Cairo Liao Liqiang met on Monday to discuss Egypt’s participation in Chinese clinical trials on possible vaccine for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
During the meeting, the two parties agreed that Egypt would be a regional African centre for producing Chinese coronavirus vaccine that proved effective in curing the virus.
Ministry of Health Spokesperson Khaled Mogahed said in a statement that the meeting addressed the cooperation between Egypt’s Holding Company for Biological Products and Vaccines (VACSERA) and a Chinese company working in the field of drug production.
Also on Monday, Egypt’s Ministry of Health reported 627 new coronavirus cases, and 50 new deaths. The country’s total number of confirmed cases reached 88,402 with 4,352 fatalities. A total of 28,924 cases have recovered and been discharged from quarantine facilities at hospitals.
Liqiang praised the cooperation between the two countries to combat the coronavirus, and extended Beijing’s support to Cairo at all levels. The Chinese ambassador also praised Egypt’s success in dealing with the health crisis.
Meanwhile, Dr Jihan Al-Assal, Vice-President of the Scientific Committee to Combat Coronavirus, said that Egypt has now overcome the first wave of the virus, despite the infection not having disappeared yet.
In televised statements on Sunday evening, Al-Assal pointed out that Egypt has passed the peak phase of the virus.
She further noted that though the notable decline in coronavirus infections is a good sign, the precautionary measures remain necessary to avoid any sudden increase.

Egypt is preparing to establish the largest sugar silo in the world, in cooperation with the Emirates, where construction of the factory will be completed entirely this year
Egypt will open the factory in West Minya in October 2020, with production starting in February 2021, as it includes a silo with a storage capacity of 417,000 tons to store white sugar.
The silo has a diameter of 124 meters, a depth of 65 meters, and a height of 40 meters, making it the largest silo ever built in the world.
The channel responsible for the factory confirmed in previous statements that the factory is the largest beet sugar factory in the world with investments of about one billion dollars, to produce more than 900 thousand tons annually, along with the development and reclamation of 181 thousand acres of desert land using groundwater, to produce 2.5 million tons Of sugar beets per year, and other strategic crops such as wheat, corn and chickpeas.
The project contributes to bridge 75% of the gap between sugar production and consumption in Egypt, which is currently 1.1 million tons annually.
The project will contribute to save $ 900 million in imports annually, and will also export by-products of up to 120 million tons annually.
Besides the production of white sugar, the company’s project aims to produce 216,000 tons of beet pulp and 243,000 tons of molasses annually, and it is intended to export them entirely abroad.
The project is the largest industrial agricultural project in Egypt since 1952, which includes reclaiming a large area of desert land.

HaHaHa..Yes almost sugar with a bit of tea..lolThe largest sugar silo in the world? Wow, that's ambitious but it's good you know why? Because you know how much we like our sugar with out tea right? Or is it our tea with sugar? lol!
The thing I have noticed though is that most Projects are self paid in short periods of time.. and on top of it.. they save billions in imports..reclaimed lands and even will generate profits..It is a very smart move, savig billions and at the same time generating profits..this is the right path for a nation to advance..
