Iconic star Mohamed Sobhi wrote a post recently on social media platform "Facebook", wondering how the child who played the role of his daughter in "Wanis's Diaries" series is pregnant after her marriage in 2018 and is about to be a mother as if he condemns the cycle of life.

He commented saying," If I know who committed this!

I see that the actor-Sobhi- who performed the plays of many well-known writers, has to seek the help of someone to write for him on social media and to dedicate his precious time for acting only.

In order to feel the weight of what he had posted, he can take a look on the news website which quoted his words under the title: Reem Ahmed Goes Crazy.. I Must Know Who Committed This?...

Mr. Sobhi… Choose Your Words

^ The Crane or The Fine

One of the weird news circulated across social media platforms on the 1st day of Eid Al-Adha is that a man used a crane to lift his sacrificing animal "Udhiyah" to his house roof, to avoid the fine approved by the governors against anyone who will slaughter in the streets or hold unauthorized marquees for slaughter without permission.

Certainly, the man owns the crane, or it belongs to one of his friends because in fact the renting of a crane for an hour is equal to half the price of "Udhiyah" or perhaps its total price.

If we take a tour across Giza and Cairo streets, we will see that the phenomena of unauthorized marquees, whose fine amounts to nearly EGP 20,000 is still exists; we can also see "Udhiyah" owners gather in front of butchers' shops until the fourth day of Eid Al-Adha after Asr prayers (The last opportunity to slaughter the sacrifice according to our rituals).

If the alternative choice is the governmental slaughter marquees, whose numbers do not exceed four in Cairo and Giza, so how many queues would we see in front of them! In addition to breaking the precautionary measures amid Coronavirus concerns.

If the fines call for sadness and anger, yet another humanitarian gesture comes to the surface, as a Christian citizen called "Romany" lives in the Umranyah neighborhood, Giza slaughtered "Udhiyah" and distributed its meat among his neighbors.

Last but not least, O' Governors, If you want to be obedient, ask for what is possible… Happy Feast, May God protect our dear Egypt and the whole of humanity as well.

 After his meeting with the governor

"Head of Beni Suif Security Directorate Contracts Coronavirus after a meeting with the governor to congratulate him on Eid Al-Adha" a title of news published by well-known journal

Undoubtedly, if anyone reads this title, he will think that the governor is the reason behind the head of the security directorate's infection, yet when you read the whole piece of news you will find that the title has nothing to do with the content.

It is a new trend in journalism which only aims to gain many viewers, paying no attention to the press traditions.
