Caro, a security headquarter in Egypt was one of the four places that was fatally car bombed. Some officials in Caro believe that more Egyptians are going to join the jihad of terrorism. The governments’ backed-military is the main target for the Jihadist. The “Jihad” is a spiritual or political goal struggle by Muslim for holy morals. So Jihadist is Muslim who is involved in Jihad..Since the early 1990’s Egypt history of violence with Muslim Brotherhood has increased. President Mohamed Morsi is the blame for majored of jihadist attacks in Egypt. Morsi angry leadership set off a new crusade of terrorism for the new government.

...ESADE CASE STUDY Roca in Egypt Written by Josep Franch and Marianna Sablina Kondratieva, 2013 On that evening in late March 2012, Carlos Velázquez, Corporate Marketing Director for Roca Corporación Empresarial (the Roca Group), and Xavier Torras, Corporate Brand and Communication Director for the same company, were taking a short break from their meeting with Gravena, their partner company in Cairo (Egypt). This was the second long day in a row with endless meetings. Torras looked up and said: “What the heck are we going to say in Barcelona?” — where corporate headquarters were located. “I have no idea…” — replied Velázquez — “…if we do finally decide to launch the Roca brand in Egypt despite the current political turmoil, we will be sunk by the crappy advertising campaign…” Torras could not agree more: “This campaign has nothing to do with our brand values, but these guys are the ones who really know the market, and this local advertising agency has outstanding credentials…” he added. As if it was not challenging enough to decide whether or not to go ahead with the launch given Egypt’s political instability, the idea of a local campaign misaligned with the global brand values posed yet another question as to what the company should do with its mainstream brand in the Egyptian market. Roca: Company Background With a sales turnover close to €1.5 billion1, and over 20,000 employees, the Roca Group was the worldwide leader in the bathroom industry (see Exhibit 1 for some...

...(CIL1545A) Instructor: Sheila Farr December 7, 2015 Egypt’s Politics and Culture Egypt is for the most part a modern nation country relative to organization, rule, and administration; however it is not a modern Western country. Although the contemporary Egyptian state remained in essence authoritarian, such rule was not accepted unconditionally. Its legitimacy depended on adherence to certain public expectations. Egypt’s path to democracy has been continues to harshly challenge the country’s socioeconomic, political, and cultural institutions and continues to plague the nation with the current uprising for open democratic governance. Civilization and pictures of an ancient land established somewhere down in history are evoked by the insignificant notice of Egypt that was a riddle until the mid nineteenth century. In old times, Egypt was known for its magnificence, the considerable sphinx, pyramids, and pharaohs. Past the magnificence, Egypt is likewise perceived for improvements of hieroglyphic written work and accomplishments in craftsmanship, building design, and horticulture. The wellspring of antiquated Egypt's flourishing realm is said to be the Nile River and agriculture. Herodotus, the traditional Greek history specialist, depicted Egypt as the endowment of the Nile. The Nile was the life of the valley with its downpour surges and retreating cycles. Egypt was a standout amongst the ripest farming zones of the world supporting and managing the area...

...Before I start my argumentation I will give a brief summary of the six day war. The six day war was in 1967. It started with Egypt blocking the port of Eilat, a very important trading route for Israel, and mobilising the army in the Sinai desert. They did this after receiving a false report from the Soviet Union. Israel launched a pre-emptive assault on June 5th against Egypt, destroying their air force almost completely. Both the Syrian and Jordanian air forces encountered the same fate. Around June 8th Israel had overcome Egypt and Jordan forces, taking the Sinai desert and the west bank and east Jerusalem as new territory. Egypt and Jordan were defeated. The next two days Israel conquered the Golan Heights from Syria. On June 10th, Saturday...

...2015 The Effect of War and Peace on Foreign Aid Egypt is a developing country that has poor living conditions and very few job opportunities. Since 2011 the Egyptian government has been questionable about what it stands for. This has caused almost no economic growth and in return lead to borrowing lots of money and relying on their allies to foot the bill. Egypt chosen a new path to reform which will lead to economic growth and stability by building new infrastructure and creating jobs for the people. Foreign aid is providing Egypt with the funding to help reach economic stability. To bad the countries internal conflicts are likely to erupt into a civil war that will easily be a negative effect on their growth. On Tuesday, January 25, 2011, in Egypt protesters took to the streets. They were protesting against poverty, unemployment, and government corruption. The protest was taking place in Cairo and two other major cities. The police arrested and injured many protesters. The military moved in to take over security, and the protesters did not even care because they have more respect for the military than the police department. The government shut down internet access in the country to keep the protesters from sending out information. After eighteen days of protest, President Hosni Mubarak resigned and left Cairo. Due to the protest the United States will be investigating how financial aid is used that they provide to Egypt, which is the second largest contribution of U.S. aid...

...brand which introduced the concept of a cable music channel. It was launched in America in 1981 and quickly its popularity spread to other similar channels across the world. Over the years MTV developed a reputation for providing programmes with a localized content without diluting down what MTV stood for. MTV using its open western culture and sometimes controversial content was known to air sexually explicit and provocative programmes to a youthful audience. The Middle East is highly individual and religiously and politically sensitive region with no fewer than 35 Arabic regional dialects. However with a cash rich oil industry and a population of some 120 million people under 25, it is no wonder MTV joined forces with Arabia Media Group (largest media group in UAE) to launch the Arabic version of MTV in November 2007. As a free to air music television channel, it was launched and rebranded as MTV Middle East. MTV Arabia shows Arabic music videos and locally produced programmes as well as popular US programmes such as the “The Hills” and “Jackass.” There are approx. 370 other free to air channels in the region. The market is reported to be worth 2.5bn to 3bn US dollars and is growing at a rate of approximately 30%. Another important factor is that there is no established TV rating system which means advertisement slots are being sold against shows that the ruling families in the region vote to be good!

... The Six Day War was fought in June, 1967. It was fought between Israel and a coalition of Arab forces including Egypt, Syria and Jordan. The United States and Soviet Union were both involved. The U.S. supported Israel and the U.S.S.R. supported the Arab forces. Countries like France and Great Britain were also involved but tried to remain neutral. The war was caused by the mutual distrust, mounting tension and military build up on each side. The war led to more conflict and tension in the Middle East. The Six Day War was caused by the history of war between Israel and Arab countries. Before the Six Day War, there had already been two wars involving Israel and a neighboring Arab country. Israel was involved in the Arab-Israeli War and the Suez Crisis. Israel won both wars, securing their spot in the Middle East. Israel also had numerous armed conflicts with Arab forces. In between major armed conflicts, there were terrorist attacks committed by Arabic. Groups like the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Arabic guerrillas from countries like Syria, Egypt and Jordan committed these attacks. Another cause of the Six Day War was the mounting tensions on each side. Although Arabic guerrillas already conducted attacks on Israel, the formation of the PLO in 1964 resulted in an increased level of terrorism in Israel. In May, only one month before the war, Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran to Israelis. U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson said “If a single act of folly was more...

...The Suez Crisis During the 1950’s, Britain’s rule over Egypt led them to gain joint control over the Suez Canal with the French. However, many Egyptians were tired of Britain’s presence because they felt as if they were second class citizens in their own country. This led to Egypt’s military beginning to pressure Britain’s armies, located in the Canal Zone, so they would leave. Not only were attacks made on the British, but also on Israeli troops along the border between the two countries. Years later, this long and negative history between the nations would eventually lead to the joint decision for Israel, Britain, and France to attack Egypt when Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal in July 1956. As a result, the Suez Crisis ensued. During the course of this paper, I will argue that the Suez Crisis had a greater impact on Britain and Frances’ power as colonizing countries as it exposed significant military weaknesses. I will first discuss in further detail what the Suez Crisis was. Then I will explain the different measures that were taken to maintain peace amongst the nations involved. Lastly, I will discuss the different outcomes Egypt, Britain, France, and Israel faced. When Colonel Nasser replaced General Neguib in 1954 he had three main goals for Egypt. These included: making Egypt independent by ending British occupation, building up the Egyptian forces for an effective attack on Israel, and building the economy by constructing a dam at...

...authoritarian style of governance will be discussed as well as the nature of who replaced them. Arab Unrest: Islamic Winter Is Coming President Barak Obama said of the Arab Spring in 2011, “There must be no doubt that the United States of America welcomes change that advances self-determination and opportunity”. All across the Arab world there has been a plethora of change. In Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Egypt, and even Mali longstanding governments have been toppled, and almost all have been replaced by Islamist governments. The paramount question, at least for Americans, about these revolutions is, should the United States help support them. To answer this question one must know what ignited the Arab Spring, who was removed from power and who replaced those removed. The best way to understand a product is by looking into the process in which it was made. During what has been coined “The Arab Spring”, unrest has acted like a plague in the Arab world. Riots, demonstrations, and full blown civil war has spread too much of the Arab controlled world. This has not come out of thin air. The spark which ignited the Arab Spring was a rather literal one. In December of 2012, a Tunisian vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, was assaulted by a police officer because he was illegally operating without a license. Bouazizi went to the police headquarters to file a complaint and was completely ignored. After this he set...

...BUSINESS AS USUAL? RECENT CHANGES IN THE ARAB WORLD IN HISTORICAL CONTEXT" By Michael B. Bishku* INTRODUCTION What began in Tunisia in December 2010 and continues most violently in Syria today has been labeled by observers of and experts on the Middle East as the "Arab Spring," but is that the correct term? (It should be noted that Lebanon engaged in the Cedar Revolution in 2005 - following the assassination of Sunni Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri by Hezbollah operativeswhich resulted in the withdrawal of Syrian froops after 30 years.) While Tunisia seems to be emulating Turkey as a historically secular country with mildly Islamist politicians exercising the greatest amount of influence in their country's respective foreign and domestic affairs, Egypt, the birthplace of the Muslim Brotherhood, appears to be at the center of a struggle between the Islamists and the military, which has dominated politics in that country since the early 1950s, while secularists and the minority Copts feel as if they have been sidelined. Majority Shi'a in Bahrain were quashed in their attempt to have a minority Sunni government recognize their rights, while Yemen's longtime leader was replaced by that country's vice president. Libya toppled an erratic dictator, but has no experience with representative government and like in Yemen the population possesses tribal identities. Syria is now engaged in a brutal civil war in which at least 20,000 people have lost their lives by the summer of 2012. Other countries...
