Harsya described e-sports as a dynamic sector that blends strategy, technology, and creativity while also fostering cultural development. Moreover, he highlighted the industry's diverse career opportunities, ranging from player management and tournament organisation to production management, data analysis, and story concept creation. The minister also said the government is committed to supporting e-sports growth not only through regulatory measures but also by promoting a variety of events across the country. He called on all stakeholders to actively participate in advancing the industry, underscoring its potential as a driver of economic growth and innovation. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Safety road
Safety road Sikkat Al-Salama (The Road to Safety), by the famous Egyptian playwright Saadeddin Wahba, is about a group of travellers headed to Sharm El-Sheikh who lose their way in the desert. As they face the looming spectre of death, the characters are forced to reexamine their lives – which are not without failings and even scandal, in some cases – and search for a path to redemption both in this life and the next. In Egyptian culture, a character who reaches such an existential dilemma is said to face one of three choices: the road to safety, the road to regret, and the road to no return. This general motif of fateful roads acquires new meaning in the context of the perilous events that have swept the region in the relatively short timeframe since the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 to the Israeli air and Mossad assault against Iran on 13 June 2025, dramatically culminating in the joint US-Israel strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities at Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. All this has brought the region to that critical juncture in the gruelling desert, where the choices are between the lesser of two evils and where humankind risks regressing further into an animalistic state of murder and destruction fed by hunger, hatred, and vengeance. The current moment in the Middle East conflict – characterised by the ceasefire in the Iranian-Israeli war and another stab at halting the fifth Gaza war – forces us to ask: what next? In Egyptian thought, the 'safe road' has never meant surrender. Rather, it denotes a confrontation with the self, a process of introspection and self-discovery. But it also entails dialogue with others and a collective search for a way to coexist as we find our way out of the desert in which we are deprived of shade, water, and food. But the safe road could become a road of regret if we placed our hopes in mystical forces that everyone imagines differently in a desert full of mirages. This danger is compounded by the tendency to depend on the sudden emergence of the saviour, which may only happen after the soul has departed the body. In the Arab region, the US is often perceived as both mystical force and saviour. Often overlooked is the fact that the US has its own interests, which it prioritises. On top of those are the personal interests and ambitions of its president, whether on the global stage or domestically, especially with the Congressional midterms coming up and, not long afterwards, the presidential elections, should he succeed in having the US Constitution amended in favour of his dream of another term. The road to safety will not present itself to us through waiting. As I have frequently stressed in this space and elsewhere, it is the road taken by relying on ourselves. By 'ourselves' here, I mean sovereign Arab states free of militias and civil wars and firm in their commitment to the modern nation-state model based on the equality of all citizens, male or female, Arab or non-Arab. These states believe in reform, participation, modernity and progress, and they are aware that time is not on their side, as other countries and regions are far ahead of us on the road to progress. History has shown that major disasters have often opened horizons to better futures. World War II – the deadliest conflict in human history and the first to involve the use of nuclear weapons – led to the founding of the United Nations, NATO, the pacification of Japan, and the creation of the European Union, as well as to more than three-quarters of a century of peace and prosperity in Europe and the Far East. Likewise, the Vietnam War, which engulfed Laos and Cambodia in the late 1960s, ultimately led to peace in Southeast Asia and the establishment of ASEAN – the Association of Southeast Asian Nations – now home to the world's fastest-growing economies. The two-state solution to which we aspire requires three levels of reform. The first is within the Palestinian political order to become a Palestinian state, in which arms are aligned with the political authority, the people with the leadership, and religion with both state and society. The second is within Israel, where integration into the region and the recognition that its Hebraic and Jewish roots are part of this region's larger history must replace that state's hegemonic ambitions and mentality. The third is at the regional level, focused on ordering it in a way that prioritises progress on a bedrock of regional security and the promotion of the values of brotherhood and tolerance.

Egypt's Al Camileon & Kangaroo Make Fashion Personal This Summer
Al Camileon asks you to make their newest collection completely your own. Aug 03, 2025 To celebrate the launch of their new denim collection, Egyptian label Al Camileon is collaborating with Egyptian design studio Kangaroo to host (no, not a zoo) a customisation workshop on the former's very collection. 'At Al Camileon, we put emphasis on the exclusivity of our garments,' founder Zeyad El Ghorab tells Scene Styled, 'This workshop with Kangaroo enables the creation of Al Camileon clothing that is 100% exclusive, because it's hand-stitched with each person's personal stamp.' At the workshop, people are invited to stamp, mark, and alter their new Al Camileon denim pieces, making them truly their own. 'The whole point of Kangaroo as a creative studio and experimental lab is to give people who aren't usually creative the chance to get their hands dirty,' tells us Naila Marei, the founder of Kangaroo, 'We believe that every single person benefits from tapping into their creativity. It's like an art class for people who aren't kids anymore.' In that sense, the collaboration between Al Camileon and Kangaroo gives customers a chance to truly meditate on their Al Camileon pieces, rather than just clicking 'Add to cart' and really forgetting about them. This workshop invites slow consumption, thoughtfulness and the chance to really truly spend enough time with a garment to fall in love with it. 'Kangaroo has their own original imprint on things,' continues El Ghorab, they have authentic taste. I just felt like both design houses - which are by nature very different - coming together could create something entirely novel.'
