El Sadah El Ashraf Syndicate Leader: 'We Stand Behind President Sisi'

The Grand Master of El Sadah El Ashraf Syndicate, Mahmoud El-Sherif, has emphasized the importance of national unity in the face of escalating regional challenges. Speaking at the 'Youth's Role in National Security' symposium on Wednesday, he highlighted Egypt's commitment to empowering youth under the leadership of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
El-Sherif praised the Egyptian government's dedication to youth development, noting that many young people now hold leadership positions thanks to the government's strategic efforts. He stressed that investing in youth is key to ensuring national stability and addressing both domestic and international challenges.
Egypt's Pioneering Approach to Youth Empowerment
During his speech, El-Sherif underscored Egypt's global recognition for its youth empowerment initiatives. He announced the launch of the Youth Council of El Sadah El Ashraf Syndicate in September 2024, coinciding with the celebration of the Prophet Muhammad's birth. This initiative, he explained, reflects the Syndicate's commitment to youth-led development and national security efforts.
Call for National Unity Amid Regional Tensions
El-Sherif warned that the Arab region is experiencing critical security threats, calling for collective national alignment behind President El-Sisi's leadership. He reaffirmed that Egypt will not compromise on its national sovereignty and will stand firm against any threats to its territorial integrity or regional stability.
Additionally, he condemned attempts to displace Palestinians or erase their national identity. He stated that Egypt will not accept any forced migration of Palestinians and reaffirmed full support for the Palestinian cause.
A Message of Resilience and Peace
El-Sherif concluded his speech with a tribute to the Palestinian people's resilience and a prayer for peace and security in Egypt and beyond.
'May our nations be safeguarded from harm, and may peace prevail across the world,' he stated, before leading the audience in a chant of 'Long live Egypt! Long live Egypt! Long live Egypt!'

On the development of national media

We consistently complain about the declining performance of our media, and its inability to meet our expectations. While some criticize the absence or scarcity of serious public opinion institutions—and cast doubt on the methodologies of foreign surveys, arguing they are 'susceptible to manipulation and bias'—others claim that a 'culture of public polling' is fundamentally lacking in our region for political and cultural reasons. Nonetheless, the essence of this constant complaint is undeniable. The most prominent evidence of this dissatisfaction with the performance of our 'traditional' media can be seen by any observer: a massive shift away from conventional channels towards social media platforms. There is a continued reliance by a significant portion of the local public on foreign, Arabic-speaking media for news, information, and analysis concerning their own country. This is compounded by the almost effortless discovery of sharp and frequent criticism of traditional media outlets and their stars across social media. If we can agree that this general feeling of dissatisfaction with the performance of national media exists, and then agree that there is an overwhelming desire—and even a stated political will—to 'develop' the media, then reaching an agreement on the nature of this 'development' becomes a difficult and elusive task. This paradox creates a rare situation among reform and development experiences in various fields. Its symptoms are evident in an analysis of the complaints that crystallize this public dissatisfaction. We find that some critics focus their critiques on the prevalence of closed-mindedness and the entrenchment of a traditional, conservative culture in media practices, while others see a spread of an openness that borders on permissiveness and a dissolution of values. As a result, we also see complaints about the absence of critique and opposition, while others criticize the media for neglecting to highlight government achievements. Some will attack the media's focus on international and regional affairs, while others will complain about the lack of a strong external media presence and a retreat into domestic issues. This clear contradiction in what motivates public dissatisfaction with the performance of national media reflects the reality that Egyptian society is full of multiple—and at times contradictory—trends and currents. This is, of course, a healthy state of affairs, as long as the tools used to manage this diversity are professional and operate within the law. Among the factors that deepen the negative effects of this public dissatisfaction is that most critics direct their critiques, attacks, or change proposals toward the single largest owner and almost sole manager of the media: the national state. Since its establishment, the state – through its executive bodies – has managed, directed, funded, or controlled the media, with very few exceptions. In reality, this is a genuine dilemma, and none of us has a decisive or final solution for it. That's because part of the problem is based on the conflicts of interest that are necessarily present in any healthy society. This is strengthened by the intellectual, political, and social diversity that is required, which is then reflected in the contradictory stances toward media management and its content. Nevertheless, the most organized countries in the developed world have previously faced this very problem. Among the best practices they have adopted to address and control its effects, we find three solutions. The first is that the state has the right to own and supervise a system of what is called 'public media.' Through this system, it can broadcast messages and content that serve higher national interests and embody public visions that enjoy a broad consensus. However, the state is also obligated to ensure that its media system reflects the diversity of viewpoints within society. Its performance must be governed by strict administrative, financial, and professional standards, and it should offer a sophisticated and advanced product, serving as a role model for private channels. The second solution is to make the media landscape free, diverse, and pluralistic. This would allow every trend, school of thought, and stakeholder to find an opportunity for self-expression, as long as they abide by mandatory legal and professional considerations. Of course, this would require adapting ownership to allow for fair competition and to avoid monopolies and harmful concentrations of ownership. The third solution is to give society an opportunity to manage its national media space through a diverse, broad, and balanced representation of its various groups. This approach would eliminate the biggest pretext for public complaints and allow the media to earn the appropriate amount of public trust and satisfaction. It would also enable the media to fulfill its presumed role in achieving self-sufficiency, ensuring the necessary credibility, and preserving higher national interests.

China Unveils Robot with Artificial Womb

Israa Farhan China has revealed the world's first robot equipped with an artificial womb, designed to carry out the full process of pregnancy and childbirth. The breakthrough, announced by Chinese company 'Kaiwa Technology', has sparked widespread debate among scientists, ethicists, and the public. The innovation was presented at the 2025 World Robot Conference in Beijing. Company founder Zhang Qifeng explained that the robot can replicate the entire journey from fertilization to delivery, maintaining a fetus for up to ten months in an artificial amniotic fluid environment and supplying it with nutrients through a tube mimicking the umbilical cord. The prototype is expected to reach the market by 2026, with an estimated price of under 100,000 yuan (around 13,900 US dollars). It is aimed at people who wish to avoid the physical strain of pregnancy as well as couples facing infertility challenges. The announcement has divided opinion. Some hailed it as a breakthrough for reproductive medicine, while others voiced serious concerns over its ethical and legal implications. Zhang confirmed that discussions are ongoing with authorities in Guangdong province to establish a suitable legislative and regulatory framework. Artificial womb technology is not entirely new. In 2017, researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia successfully sustained a premature lamb in a so-called 'biobag' until it fully developed. However, experts argue that moving from partial support for fetuses to enabling complete pregnancy remains a major scientific challenge. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video 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 Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
