Egypt

Passover – Celebration of Freedom from bondage

The Pass Over is first of the three main festivals of the Jewish Year. It commemorates the Exodus from Egypt and is observed for 8 days from the evening of Wednesday, the 8th April, till 15th April, this year. The festival commemorates the deliverance of Jews from Egyptian bondage and becoming a free people awakened to the determination to serve none but the One God.

Whither the Muslim Brotherhood?

The ouster and recent death of former Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi and the incarceration of many of its members has definitely been a setback to the Muslim Brotherhood but it still remains a global and effective organisation.
