📣 On the border with Rafah, Egyptians chant demanding their aid be let in.
❤️‍🩹 It is hard to explain, but what is happening in Egypt during Ramadan is a deepening crisis, where millions of Egyptians struggling to feed themselves face an economic crisis. Then there's Egypt's own currency crash and high inflation, all making them feel a deep affinity to the plight of Palestinians enduring Israel’s genocidal war and use of starvation to create a man made famine in Gaza.
🗣️ Having grown up in Egypt for 10 years, I know that deep down in their hearts the Egyptian people and the Palestinian people are united fundamentally, the people are with the Palestinians people and not with the “leaders”.
🌙 Expect more of this during Ramadan.
🙊 Sisi has made public protests illegal (the "no protest law"); or for media to publish any story which disagrees with Interior Ministry's "official" story.

Protective Figure of Aha-Bes
Egyptian, ca. 1800-1750 BCE (Middle Kingdom, 13th dynasty)
Resembling the protective deity Bes, this benevolent demon holds a snake in each hand, symbolizing his ability to ward off the bites and stings of venomous creatures. The figure has the proportions of a dwarf, the head, mane and tail of a lion, and human eyes. Similar figures to this one were depicted on magical wands of the Middle Kingdom. The details of the figure, such as the eyes, mane, nipples, and the snakes are marked with dark blue lines and dots.

Thinis was a city of the ancient Egyptian civilization. Whilst Thinis and its alternative, This, were the Greek names of the city, the ancient Egyptians knew it as Tjenu. This city once served as the capital of ancient Egypt during the Early Dynastic Period. The existence of Thinis is attested by ancient authors, such as Manetho, widely believed to have been an Egyptian priest who lived during the Ptolemaic period.
