Egyptian Disaster.. AGAIN!!

From the BBC News: The collision between two passenger trains in Egypt is the country's worst rail accident for four years!!.

This is the worst in Four years!!.. Does that mean this is not the only accident!!.. Actually I made some search myself, Look what I found:

February 2006: Passenger ferry with 1,400 sinks in Red Sea.
January 2004: Airliner crashes into Red Sea No survivors likely. A charter with 152 people aboard, most of them French tourists, crashed shortly after takeoff.
February 2002: Train travelling south from Cairo was consumed by a fire, killing some 373 people.
November 1999: A train travelling between Cairo and Alexandria hit a truck and derailed, killing 10 and injuring seven.
April 1999: At least 10 people died and nearly 50 were injured in northern Egypt after a head-on collision between trains.
October 1998: About 50 people were killed and more than 80 injured in a derailment just south of Alexandria. The train failed to stop at buffers and ran into a busy market square. Reports suggested that passengers travelling on the roof of the train may have tampered with an air pipe, disabling the brakes.
February 1997: At least 11 people died after a collision caused by human error and a signalling failure north of Aswan.
February 1996: A train hit a lorry on level crossing 90km north of Cairo, killing 11 people.
December 1995: A train rammed into the back of another in thick fog, killing 75 people. The driver was blamed after an inquiry found that the train was travelling well above the speed limit.
May 1995: Nine people died after a train hit a barrier just north of Cairo and derailed.
April 1995: A train and a bus collided on a level crossing in the Nile Delta, killing 49.
December 1993: At least 12 people died and 60 were injured when two trains collided head-on about 90km north of Cairo.
February 1992: A head-on train collision just outside Cairo killed 43 people.


Just look at all these people getting killed!!, that's one of the worst symbols of just how low the Egyptian citizen is in the government eyes!.. I blame the government for all these disasters.. I believe if the government has even the lowest self dignity, the whole government should resign and announce that they fail to rule Egypt, From the president to every single minister to the heads of the country!.. All should resign form their positions.. But ofcourse, nothing will happen, Its just normal disaster that happens in every country like they always say.. Hope u wake up fellows, and no it doesn't happen this often.. I find no words to say except these written by Ahmed Fouad Negm, Actually its for a whole different disaster when he wrote this poem, but I 'll just use his lines in this disaster too.

الحمد لله خبطنا
تحت بطاطنا
يا اهل مصر المحميه
بالحراميه
الفول كتير والطعميه
والبر عمار
والعيشه معدن واهي ماشيه
اخر اشيا
مادام جنابه والحاشيه
بكروش وكتار

ح تقول لى سينا وما سينا شي
ما تدوشناشي
ما ستميت اوتوبيس ماشى
شاحنين انفار
ايه يعني لما يموت مليون
او كل الكون
العمر اصلا مش مضمون
والناس اعمار

الحمدلله وأهي
ظاطت
والبيه حاطط
في كل حته
مدير ظابط
وإن شالله
حمار

ايه يعني شعب ف ليل ذلة
ضايع كله
دا كفاية بس اما تقول له
احنا الثوار

الحمد الله ولا حولا
مصر الدوله
غرقانة فى الكدب علاوله
والشعب احتار
وكفايه اسيادنا البعدا
عايشين سعدا
بفضل ناس تملا المعده
وتقول اشعار
اشعار تمجد وتماين
حتى الخاين
وان شا الله يخربها مداين
عبد الجبار
