The Egyptian conspiracy theory obsession (Mohammed Nosseir, Al Arabiya)

Consistently fueled by the state media, millions of Egyptians today claim that ‘the world is conspiring against us’! Egyptians haven’t bothered to task themselves with determining who exactly is conspiring against Egypt, and what precisely those enemies are doing. In truth, most of the countries accused of conspiring against our country could also be perceived in a different manner; as nations that are trying to help us.

How religion is being used to manipulate Egyptians (Mohammed Nosseir, Al Arabiya)

Religions are meant to play a spiritual role in people’s lives; yet their power is being harnessed in the service of the Egyptian state, providing it with an additional “maneuvering tool” to frame and manipulate citizens. With the aim of supporting the state in its mission to control the society, large numbers of citizens (defined as religious figures) are, unfortunately, advocating for irreligious behavior.

Who is influencing Egypt: the elites or the masses? (Mohammed Nosseir, Al Arabiya)

People may believe that being part of the privileged social elite naturally leads to steering and influencing the less privileged members of society. Regrettably, this is not the case, at least not in Egypt where the ruling regime cleverly makes use of the needs and dynamics of different social segments to create divisions among them, eventually making it easier for the state to rule the country effectively and to better manipulate its citizens, at the expense, obviously, of true progress

The Egyptian state and its youth: Who is afraid of whom? (Mohammed Nosseir, Al Arabiya)

Power certainly strengthens entities and, consequently, people. Illegitimate strength, however, is not sustainable. This is what Egyptians should have learnt in the course of their genuine attempt to revolt against the autocratic regime on January 25, 2011. Once they had come together, the accumulation of tiny, weak cells (individual citizens) was able to break the power of the state, built over decades.

The president’s best is not good enough for Egypt (Mohammed Nosseir, Al Arabiya)

It is essential for Egyptians today that their expectations be met and their daily needs fulfilled. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, keen to be remembered as the president who accomplished most in Egypt’s history, is implementing a number of megaprojects within a challenging timeframe. However, they are coming at the expense of Egyptians’ basic needs. If most of the people appreciated the value of Sisi’s projects, he would not need to periodically remind them of their importance.

In Egypt, is ignorance a matter of choice or destiny? (Mohammed Nosseir, Al Arabiya)

Decades of persistent failure to advance our country from a developing nation into a knowledgeable, developed society has led many people to the erroneous conclusion that ignorance is Egypt’s destiny! Yet quite the reverse is true. I believe Egyptians deliberately seek to avoid the truth; they replace fact with fiction to avoid facing reality, thereby creating an ignorant society in which every citizen claims, falsely, to be well-informed! Actually, I believe an ignorant society is the reflection of an authoritarian state that perceives knowledge as a threat to the autocratic ruler.
