#2 Israel and the US must support El Sissi and his efforts to keep Egypt a civil society. Get the Saudis to kick them down a Billion or so in the form of a long term loan.

things have been all down hill since al Ghazali wrote his trademark philosophical text "The Incoherence" in the 10th century.

#6 "caused by a technical failure which occurs every 15 years"...(You'd have thought they could have planned for that.)
Is there a plague of frogs involved here, of just swamp gas refracting the light of Venus?

#7 the outage was a result of an experiment in redistributing electricity, saying a technical failure during the "maneuver" caused the blackout.
