Hiver 1921, Hylewood, Canada (1/15)
Mers chers cousins,
Je suis heureux d’avoir de vos nouvelles. Ces histoires simples sont un vrai plaisir à lire quand on revient d’un voyage éreintant, où la mort guette à chaque montagne. Je suis rentré d’Egypte il y a quelques semaines et il faut que je vous raconte mon périple.
Je vous ai laissé dans mon repère, le temple mortuaire de Seti Ier, où je me suis caché pendant près d’un an. La vieille Amina m’amenait à manger et me visitait dans mon exil en attendant que les tensions se calment. Loin de se calmer, elles n’ont fait que s’accroître. Le pays est à feu et à sang, divisé entre les saadistes partisans d’une indépendance radicale et sans conditions, et les modérés qui veulent compromettre avec la Grande-Bretagne. Les négociations sont toutes infructueuses, la colère gronde, et des émeutes éclatent en permanence. Amina a fini par être suivie (je soupçonne que ma découverte a été orchestrée par son fils), et j’ai été contraint de fuir. J’ai donc pris la décision de gagner le Soudan, afin de demander de l’aide aux Américains. J’ai donc entrepris de remonter à la nage le Nil et ses canaux, de manière à éviter les villes.

Bloated Hippos Throttle Africa’s Development
In many African countries, government has now become a scourge –its institutions hijacked by the ruling vampire elites to enrich and serve their interests, not the poor. The public sector, the largest employer, is packed with cronies, relatives and party supporters ensconced in parallel institutions, useless government agencies and ministries with overlapping functions. Ghana. for example, has Ministry of Aviation, Ministry of Roads and Highways, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Road and Transport, Ministry of Ports and Railways. Why not just one Ministry of Transportation? Never mind Asked in 2004 to reduce state hegemony in the economy and play more reliance on the private sector, Ghana set up the “Ministry of Private Sector Development." To cut government spending, Mali established a “Ministry of Less Government Spending.” Tanzania of course has the “Ministry of Good Governance" and Uganda, the “Ministry for the Pacification of Northern Uganda” whatever that means.
In 2013, Ghana’s huge government workforce consumed 70 percent of the budget; 80% in Zimbabwe.. The size of the government has grown so rapidly that it is suffocating many African economies. For example, in 1997, Ghana with a population of 19 million. had 88 cabinet and regional ministers plus their deputies. By 2004, the number reached 92 but shot up to 97 in 2013 and now 110. In 2009, Kenya had 94 and Zimbabwe 82 Angola checks in with 88 ministers and deputies
 In addition, there are ministers of state at the presidency, presidential staffers and advisors. At each ministry, there are a principal secretaries, deputy principal secretaries, assistant deputy principal secretaries, etc. The next batch comprise governors or regional ministers and their deputies Then there is the legislature – Senators and MPs, all feeding off the government trough.
 In Ghana, each Minister must have a government bungalow (house), a Pajero (SUV),, a saloon car for Madam, a garden boy, a cook, a day watchman, a night watchman, a security guard, to accompany the official. Then each senior government officer is entitled to a house loan, furniture loan, fridge loan, and even education loan for the children. Nigerian legislators are highest paid in the world Its Senators enjoy an obscene smorgasbord of perks and allowance that take their salaries to a cool $2 million each when 60% of the population earn less than $2 a day An outrageous one is "hardship" allowance. Olusegun Obasanjo, former president of Nigeria dismissed its National Assembly as "an assembly of thieves and looters."
Most of the perks enjoyed by African government officials were created during the colonial period to entice Europeans - say Englishmen - to serve in the colonies and clearly made no sense to retain them after independence. If the 20th century taught us anything, it is that large-scale centralized government does not work. It does not work at the national level, and it is less likely to work at the global level.” said Kofi Annan, former U.N Secretary-General.
 The extra-large public sector in many African countries is riddled with overspending, wasteful practices, willful extravagance with public funds, financial irregularities and willful profligacy. Too many ministries and government agencies mean soaring government expenditures Ghost workers abound in Ghana – over 6,000 -- on government payrolls and their salaries collected by living workers. Judges are on the take, some caught on camera demanding bribes  In Nigeria, 62,893 ghost workers were nabbed and hopefully reburied In Kenya, one ghost worker was caught with his salary collected by a living professor  
 Government, not the private sector, has now become the vehicle for self-enrichment. The richest persons in Africa are heads of state and ministers, who make their money by raking it off the backs of their suffering people. Quite often, the chief bandit is the head of state himself. Being the president of an African country is an extremely lucrative occupation, which partly explains why they would never give up power and must be removed by force destroying the country.
 The family fortune of Moammar Gaddafi of Libya was $200 billion ; Hosni Mubarak of Egypt was $70 billion; Omar al-Bashir of Sudan is $9 billion; General Sani Abacha, former military dictator of Nigeria, was $5 billion; Charles Taylor of Liberia was $5 billion; Isabel dos Santos, daughter of Angola's President, is $3.4 billion  "Every military regime is a fraud," once said General Ibrahim Babangida, former military dictator of Nigeria. He should know; he amassed a personal fortune of $12 billion For a perspective, the total or combined net worth of all 43 US presidents  -- from Washington to Obama -- is only $2.7 billion
 Sure, Africa is furiously fighting corruption. In February 2014 when Lamidu Sanusi, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. reported that some $20 billion in in oil revenue was missing, it was he, the governor, who was immediately sacked  Pres. Goodluck Jonathan for financial recklessness and misconduct! Lord Save Us!
 A similar case occurred in Ghana in 2013. Martin Amidu, the former Atty. Gen. of Ghana, was sacked when he  refused to authorize payment he considered fraudulent. In Zimbabwe, the anti-corruption czar, Ngonidzashe Gumbo, was himself a bandit, jailed for 10 years for defrauding the commission of $435,000. O Merciful Allah! Elsewhere, the bodies set up to fight corruption in Kenya and Tanzania are themselves also corrupt
 Africa may be a tough nut to crack. Recall that former President Clinton fumbled on Africa. Back in April 1998 on his historic trip to Africa, Clinton hailed the rebel leaders of Congo DR, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Uganda as "the new leaders of Africa taking charge of their own backyards." Sadly, they turned out to be reform acrobats and crackpot democrats. For example, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, who declared in 1986 that no African leader should be in power for more than 10 years, is still president of Uganda, 31 years later.
Perhaps it is time for African solutions. To solve Congo DR’s economic crisis back in 1991, Amina Ramadou, a peasant housewife suggested "We send three sacks of angry bees to the governor and the president. And some ants which really bite. Maybe they eat the government and solve our problems.” Indeed, that was precisely what some ethnic groups such as the Igbo, the Somali, the Gikuyu and the Kru among others, did. They got rid of their leaders and are called stateless societies. Even they understood that the state is necessarily evil and the more power the state has, the less free its citizens.

Sisi sworn in for second Egyptian presidential term amid crackdown…
CAIRO (Reuters) – Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was sworn in for a second term as Egyptian president on Saturday amid a crackdown on his opponents, after a landslide victory in a March election in which all serious opponents had withdrawn.
Egyptian air force fighter planes drew the Egyptian flag across the sky in red, white and black smoke, while helicopters buzzed over the former military chief’s motorcade as he approached parliament early on Saturday.
“I assure you that accepting the other and creating common spaces between us will be my biggest concern to achieve consensus, social peace and real political development in addition to our economic development,” Sisi said in a speech after he took the oath. It was followed by a 21-gun salute in celebration, as lawmakers clapped and cheered.
“I will not exclude anyone from this common space except those who chose violence, terrorism and extremist thought as a way to impose their will,” Sisi added during the ceremony, broadcast live on television.
Sisi has overseen a crackdown on political opponents and an increasingly bloody battle with Islamic State insurgents in the Sinai peninsula during his first term. He has also struggled to revive the economy while pushing through tough IMF-backed austerity measures tied to a $12 billion loan programme.
His supporters say his harsh measures are needed to protect the state from turmoil unleashed since protests toppled long-serving autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
His critics say he has stifled the prospect of democracy, while the economic reforms that include subsidy cuts and tax hikes have pushed up prices and eroded his popularity.
A rise in fares on the Cairo metro last month ignited rare displays of public anger, and more subsidy cuts are on the way, including in fuel and electricity.[nL5N1SK0U1]

The 63-year-old former intelligence chief and defence minister led the overthrow of Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood – Egypt’s first freely-elected president – after protests against Mursi’s rule in 2013. Sisi was elected to his first four-year term as president a year later.
In March Sisi won 97 percent of the vote, but turnout was just 41 percent. The election featured only one other candidate, himself an ardent Sisi supporter, after all serious opposition contenders halted their campaigns in January.
The main challenger was arrested and his campaign manager beaten up, while other hopefuls also pulled out, citing intimidation.[nL8N1PI3DE][nL8N1PJ2T1][nL4N1PV4R4]
Since the election dozens of mostly secular or socialist Sisi critics have been arrested and are being investigated on charges that include spreading fake news and belonging to illegal or terrorist organisations. [nL5N1SU33P][nL5N1SY0AB]
Rights groups say Sisi has muzzled political opponents, activists and critical media, while courts have passed death sentences on hundreds of supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The recent wave of arrests has drawn criticism from the European Union, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and international rights organizations.

The latest wave of arrests “shows the state has zero tolerance for critical voices and anyone who was expecting a softening of repression in Sisi’s second term was mistaken,” said Timothy Kaldas, non-resident fellow at the Washington-based Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy.

Printemps 1919, Al Simhara, Égypte (2/3)
Totalement, ou presque. Une femme s’y était réfugiée, et c’est elle qui m’a tenu au courant des dernières nouvelles. C’est d’ailleurs grâce à sa mère que vous recevez ce courrier, et j’ai eu beaucoup de chance de tomber sur une femme mariée à un étudiant en droit et éduquée qui parle bien l’anglais et avec laquelle j’ai pu communiquer aisément.
Le 20 mars, le leader nationaliste égyptien Saad Zaghlul a été arrêté par les Britanniques, conduisant à des manifestations et des émeutes sévèrement réprimées. Un couvre-feu a été instauré. Mon interlocutrice avait participé au matin même à une manifestation de femmes devant l’une de ses résidences à Louxor. Elles ont été dispersées par les Britanniques, certaines arrêtées mêmes, et ma bienfaitrice avait dû fuir afin d’éviter plus de répercussions. Elle m’apprit également l’exécution de mon ami le cheikh Fahad Madbouli, qui m’avait hébergé il y a vingt ans et m’avait ouvert sa bibliothèque. Elle n’a pas su me dire ce qu’il est advenu de la cheikha. Ce pauvre cheikh était un homme de culture, un polyglotte, je n’ai jamais croisé de ma vie quelqu’un de meilleure conversation. Je ne comprends pas quels sauvages ont pu ordonner son exécution.
Les Egyptiens, furieux de ces répressions, s’en prennent à tous les Blancs qu’ils croisent, puisqu’ils nous assimilent tous à des Anglais - même les Franco-canadiens, vous rendez-vous compte ? Nous qui luttons plus ardemment que tout autre contre leur dominion ! Mais écoutez, c’est ainsi. Ne souhaitant être tué à vue, même par erreur, j’ai fait comme les Britanniques qui ont déserté le chantier de fouilles où ils étaient exposés et je me suis caché en attendant de rencontrer le frère de Nephty - c’est le nom de ma bienfaitrice, qui, m’avait-elle dit, pourrait peut-être me venir en aide.
[Transcription] Nephty Hosni : You came. (Vous êtes venu.) Jules LeBris : I don’t have that many options, do I. Is that your brother? Who’s the woman? (Je n’ai pas beaucoup d’autres options. Est-ce votre frère ? Qui est la femme ?) Nephty Hosni : She’s my mother. Wait, I’ll introduce you. (C’est ma mère. Attendez, je vais vous présenter.) Helmi Hosni : Ma kinnash lazmeen nekoon hena. Di fikra sayya'a gedan. Wa kull dah 'ashan eih? 'Ashan nennaweez Ingleezi a'war? (On ne devrait même pas être ici. C’est une très mauvaise idée. Et tout ça pour quoi ? Pour sauver un Anglais unijambiste ?) Amina Hosni : Dah mesh Ingleezi, dah Kandi. (Ce n’est pas un Anglais, c’est un Canadien.) Helmi Hosni : Dah nefes el-haga. (C’est la même chose.) Amina Hosni : Ta'ala… kant zayy el-full ennak ta'mel safqaat ma'a 'ulama' al-athar. (Allons… Ça t’arrangeait bien de faire des affaires avec les archéologues.) Helmi Hosni : Lazem teghumi bittahkom fi bintik, ya ommi. Heeya hatwadeena kullina lil-qatl! (Tu devrais contrôler ta fille, Mère. Elle va tous nous faire tuer !)

La Cavb annonce la présence de dix-sept participants parmi lesquels figurent toutes les équipes maghrébines. Une première La 21e édition du Championnat d’Afrique des nations approche à grands pas. Le Caire sera le lieu de l’événement du 20 au 30 du mois courant.
On évoque la présence de dix-sept équipes issues des tournois zonaux de qualification, alors que le trio le mieux placé sur la scène, composé de l’Egypte, de la Tunisie et du Cameroun, est qualifié d’office. Tout compte fait, la réunion technique générale, prévue la veille du coup d’envoi, dévoilera la liste officielle des participants et procédera à la composition des poules et l’établissement du calendrier général. La CAN qualifiera les trois premières équipes au Championnat du monde 2018 qui se tiendra conjointement en Italie et en Bulgarie. L’enjeu est de taille donc, la lutte s’annonce chaude, très chaude essentiellement entre les candidats les plus en vue. Pour cela, ils ont préféré effectuer une bonne partie de leur cycle de travail à l’étranger. L’Egypte, tenant du titre, en Tchéquie; la Tunisie, finaliste de la dernière édition, en France après l’Italie et la Turquie, alors que le Cameroun se trouve en Slovénie. Sans staff médical ! L’équipe de Tunisie sera de retour à Tunis le 8 octobre en provenance de Paris au terme d’une étape préparatoire marquée notamment par une participation au tournoi international de Chaumont. Les coéquipiers de Hosni Karamosli se sont contentés d’une seule victoire face à la modeste équipe allemande de Buhl, et se sont inclinés devant les Chaumonais et les Nantais sans parvenir à décrocher le moindre set. Le moins qu’on puisse dire pour l’instant sur l’état actuel de l’équipe de Tunisie est qu’il est inquiétant. Ajoutez que le groupe est allé en France sans médecin et sans kiné ! Il nous est difficile de comprendre la position ambiguë du DTN et de l’entraîneur national quand on écarte tout un staff médical au cours d’une phase de préparation assez importante. Ce qui s’est passé est inadmissible et prouve que les choses tournent mal, non seulement au sein de la sélection nationale, mais aussi à la Ftvb. Où allons-nous ? Les dames aujourd’hui à Yaoundé La 18e édition de la CAN féminine de Yaoundé commence le 7 octobre pour se poursuivre jusqu’au 14. Les deux finalistes iront au Mondial 2018 au Japon. Tout comme chez les hommes, la participation s’annonce massive. L’équipe de Tunisie en sera à sa seizième présence et compte trois titres. C’est aujourd’hui que la délégation tunisienne s’envolera pour le Cameroun. Les quatorze joueuses retenues sont : Nihel Kbaïer, Rim Missaoui, Jihane Mohamed, Maroua Boughanmi, Amina Mansour, Fatma Ktari, Abir Othmani, Meriem Brik, Khouloud Jenhani, Meissa Lengliz, Rahma Agrebi, Mouna Hammouda, Chourouk Klaï et Ahlem Traï.

Printemps 1919, Al Simhara, Égypte (3/3)
Le frère, Hosni, n’était pas très collaboratif. Je dois donc ma survit au fait que leur vieille mère Amina ait été présente au rendez-vous. Il a été convenu que je réside dans une ruine proche de la ville. À l’entendre, je m’attendais à ce qu’il s’agisse de quelque vieille résidence détruite, mais non, il s’agit d’un temple mortuaire de Seti Ier… C’est donc là que je loge actuellement. Amina m’amène des provisions tous les quelques jours quand elle va chercher de l’eau au canal. Je vois Hosni de temps en temps, quand il accompagne sa mère, et j’en profite pour m’informer des évènements car la vieille Amina n’est pas d’un grand secours dans ce domaine. Les émeutes durent depuis trois semaines, et plus de huit cent Egyptiens auraient été tués. Quelques Britanniques téméraires qui sont restés là auraient été abattus en représailles, ce qui me conforte dans mon idée de ne pas bouger en attendant que ça se calme. Il parait que des négociations entre l’Egypte et le Royaume-Uni ont été entamées. Avec de la chance, tout cela sera tassé d’ici l’été.
J’espère revenir entier de cette expédition. Embrassez votre grand-mère, votre femme les enfants pour moi.
Votre bien dévoué,
J. Le Bris
[Transcription] Jules LeBris : Can’t Nephty simply help me go into the city and find a boat? (Nephty ne pourrait-elle pas simplement m’aider à entrer discrètement en ville et trouver un navire ?) Amina Hosni : She can’t help you, my friend. She’s waiting for things to settle down before she can join her husband to Cairo. (Elle ne peut pas t’aider, mon ami. Elle attend que les choses se calment avant de rejoindre son mari au Caire.) Jules LeBris : Why can’t I do it myself? (Pourquoi ne puis-je pas le faire moi-même ?) Amina Hosni : The authorities set up a curfew, it’s dangerous for you to stay here. (Les autorités ont mis en place un couvre-feu, c’est dangereux de rester ici.) Amina Hosni : Everyone is angry, protesters could kill you if they saw you. (Tout le monde est en colère. Les manifestants pourraient te tuer s’ils te voyaient.) Jules LeBris : But I’m not even British! I’m Canadian. The British have been subduing us, too. (Mais je ne suis même pas britannique ! Je suis canadien. Les Britanniques nous assujettissent nous aussi.) Helmi Hosni : It won’t matter. When people see you, they see a settler. (Cela n’a pas d’importance. Quand on te voit, on voit un colon.) Jules LeBris : Where are the British archaeologists? Maybe I could reach them. (Où sont les archéologues britanniques ? Peut-être que je pourrais les contacter.) Helmi Hosni : You’re too late. They are already gone. (Tu arrives trop tard. Ils sont déjà partis.) Jules LeBris : What am I to do then? (Qu’est-ce que je suis censé faire, alors ?) Helmi Hosni : I hardly see how that is our problem. (Je vois difficilement en quoi cela nous concerne.) Amina Hosni : You’ll hide in the old ruins. Wait for things to settle down. (Tu te cacheras dans les vieilles ruines. Tu attendras que ça se calme.) Amina Hosni : I’ll come see you, bring you food every couple of days. I go there often to fetch water, it will not drag attention. Then, you take a boat and you go home. (Je viendrai te voir, je t’apporterai des provisions tous les quelques jours. J’y vais souvent pour chercher de l’eau, ça n’attirera pas l’attention. Ensuite, tu prends le bateau et tu rentres chez toi.) Helmi Hosni : This is too dangerous. We are all going to get killed. (C’est trop dangereux. On va tous se faire tuer.)
