In an admirable effort to end class segregation in Egypt, residential compounds in El Sheikh Zayed City have united their borders and declared themselves an independent nation. The name of the new country on the western outskirts of Cairo is yet to be announced, though rumours suggest the contending names are Eliteland, Etiquettestan, and the more descriptive Republique des Villas et Piscines.
The decision to withdraw from Egypt came after the compounds’ wealthy residents decided that the best way to end the unjust divide in Egypt between the “haves” and the “have-nots” was to put all the “haves” in their own separate country.
“The inequality between the classes has finally ended,” declared President Chantel Abdel Moneim in English, head of the newly formed state, but also part-time housewife and poodle lover. Speaking from the rooftop of her villa (which was purportedly airlifted in its entirety from Tuscany), she added, "L'Égypte, alors, is no longer a segregated country of the very poor and the très riches. Without us sharing the border, it is finalement a society of equal no opportunities with more justly spread out expériences of suffering."
Indeed, since the breaking away, Egypt has been declared by the UN as the most equal society on the planet. All remaining 98% live equably just below or just above the international poverty line.
Once again, it seems Karl Marx was wrong. After all of history’s past struggles to bridge the divides between the classes, the solution turned out to be a simple matter of rearranging borders.
El Koshary Today will be back with more news on the newly formed state, with controversial rumours that the only koshary venue inside is being shut down and replaced with a Louis Vuitton boutique.

Thursday, 29th of October, 2009I think the "poodle-lover" and the "tuscany house" were not "culture-specific" to the rich of Egypt.
Also, won't they unite with 6th of October or Katameya soon? And what about all the refugees in Zamalek?

Thursday, 29th of October, 2009Refugees in Zamalek can join the new Republique if they can come up with the appropriate bank statements. And while poodles and tuscany style houses might be a little out there, reports suggest President Chantel isn't your usual rich witch. 6th of Oct would definitely not make the cut. More news about the new state next week!

Saturday, 31st of October, 2009The choice of highlands in comparison with the surrounding topography, and the safe passage cutting through Boulaq adDakrour (near the infamous sign "Please refrain from using car horns, you sons of low lives") has raised concerns, given the parallel situation in Israel/West Bank, and stirred fears by those living further East (although not as far East as Abbaseia) regarding the intention of the new nation towards Egypt. Do you have any information on the level of diplomatic representation between the two nations? Can we expect naturalised relations?
President Chantel
Saturday, 31st of October, 2009How dare you compare us to Israel?! We put all this effort to break away from your society to end the class divide and you tell us this is looking like the Israel/West Bank situation!? You can forget about ever crossing the border to breathe our fresh air or roll around in our greener grass. And you can definitely forget about making it to the amazing sale at our local Louis Vuitton!

Monday, 2nd of November, 2009How about the kingdom of Kattameya Heights 90210!? Both states could enter into violent "eshtebakat" over who gets the more exclusive spots in newlybuilt extensions of their territories on the north coast (previously, a desert)... The UN would have to intervene thus leading to an official recognition by the international community. Egyptians would then have to queue to get their visa applications "yay".

Tuesday, 3rd of November, 2009What I want to know before purchasing one of your Tuscany style villa's in the newly formed Democratic Republique of Sheikh Zayid, is it going to have it's own security police force.
I want to be able to ensure that no 'riff raff' will be scaling my walls looking through my dustbins, or looking through my windows at my exquisite gold Louix XVIth ornate chaise longues, or other expensive pieces.
Are only poodles allowed or can other breeds like Chihuahua and Lhasa Apso live a carefree life in Sheikh Zayid too?.

Wednesday, 4th of November, 2009Now we've got East and West Egypt, along the same lines of East and West Germany.
I hope when the Giza Wall (aka Berlin Wall) is demolished and all spies are exchanged, the Arab Union (the parallel of European Union) will have been established.
Wait for me. I am coming.

Thursday, 12th of November, 2009A recent book in egypt titled Utopia had predicted this would happen.
In the book, it talked about youngsters coming out to the old lands to start hunting their old fellow countrymen for sport, since all the dogs cats camels etc have already been hunted and eaten ...

Monday, 14th of December, 2009Enjoyed the story about the crocs and Aswan dam. We in the U.S. are always having implausible plots by "extremists" foiled at the last moment. Since our country likes to make "extraordinary renditions" of prisoners to Egypt, I thought an alternative title would also be appropriate:
WHO SAYS TORTURS DOESN'T WORK?
CROCODILES CONFESS TO PLOT AGAINST ASWAN DAM

Monday, 25th of January, 2010people of al Mahrousa i would like to point out the historical and pioneering attempt made before by citizens of "Zefta" to declare their independence from the english ruler at the time
but miserably failed because .............................. OMG! no one wanted to live in a republic called"Zifta" so please do chose carefully the name of any new republic and be sure it will have a face book account to measure its popularity.
P.s: Heliopolis is a nice name and can form a good republic i guess ...... dont know have been away from egypt for years now.so please advice if it is not eligible any more !
