Egypt to try 67 people for assassinating top prosecutor

NOVANEWS Sisi Zionist puppet regime have referred dozens of people to trial over the last year’s assassination of the country’s top prosecutor. Sisi Prosecutor General Nabil Sadek sent 67 people to the criminal court on Sunday, without mentioning the exact date of the trial.

In March, Zionist Sisi Interior Minister Magdy Abdel Ghaffar told a news conference in Cairo that both Muslim Brotherhood and Gaza-based Hamas were involved in the assassination.

Nazi-Zio-WahhabI-Egyptian agreement on the islands of Tiran and Sanafir

NOVANEWS Since the 11th April 2016, date at which the islands of Tiran and Sanafir were given by Zionist puppet Sissi to Saudi Zio-Wahhabi regime, the two governments have been multiplying their declarations affirming that they had always been Saudi, in an attempt to soothe the anger of Egyptian nationalists [1]. The two governments and their supporters have published several internal documents aimed at proving their claims. However, in international law, only the London Convention of 1840 applies. After the «Eastern Question» which opposed Mehemet Ali to the Sultan, it was agreed that he would give up Syria, but would keep Egypt and Sudan, including the islands of Tiran and Sanafir. No other international treaty was signed which modified the sovereignty of the islands until the...

Zionist journalist: Sisi would accept a Palestinian state in Sinai

NOVANEWS Zionist journalist has called on Nazi Benjamin Naziyahu to exploit the readiness of Zionist puppet Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi to concede Egyptian land in return for money to solve the conflict with the Palestinians. Haggai Segal, the editor of the Zionist newspaper Makor Rishon, wrote: “Al-Sisi’s concession of Tiran and Sanafir islands shows that Arabs do not revere the land. Al-Sisi conceded the two islands for money.” The journalist, who is very close to Naziyahu, added: “Two years ago, Al-Sisi showed his willingness to accept the establishment of a Palestinian state in Sinai. This makes us expect reaching an agreement with Al-Sisi and the Palestinian Authority (PA) regarding this in return for a respectable sum of money.” “We have to measure the idea of establishing a Palestinian...

Where is Egypt headed?

NOVANEWS by Thierry Meyssan For the last five years, the history of Egypt, like that of many other Arab states, has been a succession of conspiracies, violence, announcements and denials. Everything that international public opinion has believed at one moment or another has been called into question by new elements. Thierry Meyssan attempts here to separate truth from fiction, while asking what the current President al-Sissi is still hiding. Ex-President Hosni Moubarak was convicted of embezzlement, and for his part in the repression of demonstrators. However, these facts, which were unanimously accepted at the time, have never been clearly established. An extremely conservative society managed by the military, Egypt has suffered a period of upheaval over the last five years...

Ex-CIA officer to be extradited to Italy for role in Egyptian cleric kidnapping

NOVANEWS RT  A former CIA officer, now residing in Portugal, faces extradition to Italy after her alleged involvement in the kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric, Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, otherwise known as Abu Omar, in Milan 13 years ago, The Washington Post reported. An Italian court convicted Sabrina De Sousa, 60, in absentia along with 26 other Americans, sentencing her to four years in prison.

However, extradition talks began after De Sousa moved to Portugal last spring to be closer to her relatives. Local police detained the former CIA agent on a European arrest warrant at the Lisbon airport in October. A key development in the case happened this week, when Portugal’s highest court upheld t...

Egypt’s press syndicate says “thugs” are hired to attack its members

NOVANEWS MEMO  Egypt’s press syndicate denounced on Wednesday recent “repeated” attacks against its members while they carried out their journalistic work and called on the interior ministry to investigate the issue. The syndicate said that attacks on journalists are carried out by “thugs” who are “protected” by security bodies in the state. The word “thugs” is used in Egypt to describe those who violate the law. Human rights organisations have repeatedly alleged that security forces use “thugs” to disperse protests and arrest suspects. But the interior ministry denies such accusations. The press syndicate, one of Egypt’s oldest professional syndicates, said on Wednesday in a statement that “thugs, protected by the security [apparatuses] assaulted journalists and photojournalists” outs...
