    Welcome to The Republic of Heliopolis

    Disclaimer: This post is tongue in cheek. It should not be taken seriously. I do not condone any of what I humorously written below.

    After the results of the first round of the parliamentary elections, there were several calls to declare the independence of the Heliopolis district from the rest of Egypt. Hey, we’re the only district where a liberal beat a Muslim Brotherhood by a landslide. We’re the only district that voted for a candidate with long hair whose girlfriend is a movie star. People in Montazah, Alexandria, voted for a guy who called democracy haram or forbidden.  The prick then used the democratic process in order to get a parliament seat!

    So we can presume that it is quiet understandable why we want to be separated from Egypt. Why we want nothing to do with the rest of our previous country.

    To make things simplier, I decided to propose how our new country will look like. So ladies and gentlement, welcome to The Republic of Heliopolis.

    Borders:


    Helio

    We decided to have the current boundaries of our electoral district as our borders.  We don’t mind  including Badr and Sherouk. Many of us either work or live there. Besides, Heliopolis club has a branch in Sherouk.

    We’re going to build a Berlin style wall around Heliopolis. Anyone who tries to cross over will be shot on the spot. If you’re not a resident of ROH, you will need a visa. Residents of Zamalek, Maadi (the posh part of Maadi), Katamiyah and Garden City are exempted. Residents of Nasr City are only allowed to go to City Stars without a visa. Yes, we consider City Stars as part of Nozha and not Nasr City!

    President:


    11057_200_150

    We decided to elect our current member of parliament as president. President Hamzawy lives in the Heliopolis Palace, the palace in front of Heliopolis club. Mubarak’s house in Orouba will be turned into museum.

    Economy:

    We have an open market economy with social justice. We have a small population of low income people living in Nozha and Sherouk.

    Politics:

    We want nothing to do with our neighbor Egypt. Let Egypt elect whom it elects, but Egypt has to leave us alone.

    People:

    Heliopolisians are diverse people. We have Muslims, Coptic Orthodox Christians, Coptic Catholic Christians, Coptic Evangelicals, Armenians, Greek Orthodox and Catholic, Syrian Orthodox and Catholic. And we also have a Jewish synagogue in Korba. It’s closed now but we welcome back any Heliopolis Jew who wants to return back to his homeland ROH and open the synagogue. A Jewish elderly house is adjacent to the synagogue. It was also shut down after the last resident of the house died or left Egypt years ago.

    Nightlife and Entertainment:

    ganz-203x300

    Meet Mr. Ahmed El Ganzoury, our minister of culture. Mr. Ganzoury, better known as Ganz, was Egypt’s top party organizer. He later renounced his Egyptian citizenship and decided to become a ROH resident. He is the only cabinet member who does not change. Who wants to change Ganz!

    In spite of the presence of Ganz in our cabinet, we still have a huge problem concerning night outings. Before our independence we used to hang out in mostly Zamalek  and Maadi.  However,  President Hamzawy promised that we will soon have our own La Bodega and Tamarai, besides the newly opened L’Aubergine of course. So very soon we will kiss our dear small Deals pub goodbye.

    How to become a resident:

    To become a resident of ROH, you have to be an open minded person who does not mind the diversity of our country. You will have to keep religion to yourself and not force it on other fellow countrymen. You also have to strictly abide by the laws and regulations in ROH. Some of our laws can be pretty tough though. For example, if you’re caught harassing a female on the street, you get your testicles ripped apart by a 27 days starved doberman.

    1. This is hilarious. Welcome to the World Rep of Heliopolis :D

      Comment by Peter McCay — December 2, 2011 @ 11:43 am

    2. Our main source of income will be the airport, where we will impose exuberant fees to our neighboring Egyptians.

      Our currency will be the ROH dollar … Valued at the price of the Euro.

      Our flag will be that of Egypt but with the Masonic lion instead of the eagle.

      Just a few ideas for now …

    6. I very much support any country that wants to break away from its oppressive govt, however any govt that finacially supporta its people will necome corrupt and oppressive again……. Economic freedom from the govt is just as important to make a great country , and social justice that is encouraged on the individual not forced on the collective

    9. What about an Army and Police. Will we have a police that is actually helpful? and do you think we might get liberal refugees from Egypt proper?

      Comment by Amr R — December 2, 2011 @ 5:25 pm

    10. we can make good money from the 2 airports (and none in the rest of greater cairo) … we can cultivate the area around it as well for food .. with the high fees of the airport we can buy fuel and water … we can have also energy from sun clean and relatively cheap … Heliopolis can turn to be the Egypt that we aim for and then other Egyptians will envy us..

      Comment by Mohaly — December 2, 2011 @ 6:17 pm

    11. we also have industrial city of badr and we can export . we have military head quarters .

      Comment by Hisham — December 2, 2011 @ 6:56 pm

    12. Regardless of how we feel towards the election’s results this page was created in very bad taste and is very bad PR for Amr Hamzawy, who I bet is not a part of. He was elected to serve Egypt, not Heliopolis only. And the criticism of Alexandrians and the snobbish tone is just downright stupid!!

      Comment by Hala Kasem — December 2, 2011 @ 7:21 pm

    13. Phewwww….thank u for keeping the ppl of Ard el Golf within the borders of the republic! :o ) And no kidding…if the twits take over Egypt, we really need to find our way out of their crap! :o )

      Comment by Rania — December 2, 2011 @ 7:29 pm

    14. I do realize this is supposed to be satire, but I just have to say that rich liberals such as yourselves will NEVER understand the rest of this country and therefore can really never contribute to the rest of the country reaching its potential. You mock and denigrate the poor and uneducated in English on the internet because you can get away with it and your only contact with them is as your maids and drivers and bawwabs and office “boys”. If we had a truly economically fair country, the truth you don’t want to face is you probably couldn’t afford their services anymore because you would have to pay them a lot more than you do now.

      Comment by Cherry_Jane — December 2, 2011 @ 10:23 pm

    23. This is brilliant. Nonetheless, I think City Stars shouldn’t be part of the ROH since it’s owned by the Saudis who finance our enemies: the salafis. Also, Free Republic of Heliopolis sound better ;)

      Comment by Bogoss — December 2, 2011 @ 10:24 pm

    40. The Egyptian side of me is Alexandrian and I’m gutted by the results there, however, I am a resident of the ROH and I am so thanful to be living in the REPUBLIC and LIBERAL newly formed state/country!

    41. I think this proposed idea is really ingenius!

      Comment by mona eladly — December 3, 2011 @ 6:30 am

    42. Everyone who’s critiquing this – have a sense of a humour. Heliopolis is made up of all kinds of people as the author says . . . my in-laws (my mother in law covers) to people who go out and party and have money, to poorer folks. This is meant to be humourous.

      And also – when you’re a public elected figure, you can be included in anything – this is satire. Can I tell you how many satirical articles are written in positive or negative light about US politicians (good and bad?)? If you keep holding your politicians on a pedestal you’ll end up with another Mubarak – they put themselves in the public eye.

      Comment by AT — December 3, 2011 @ 6:40 am

    43. Though I should say – if this is an Egyptian utopia – why not try to get the poor people into a better situation instead of having them on welfare. Just a suggestion :)

      Comment by Nahla — December 3, 2011 @ 7:57 am

    47. For Heliopolisians whining about cityStars not being in ROH, there is sun city in Sherton Heliopolis.

      Can we keep the male/Female ratio 1:3? I don’t wanna mess with my neighbors’ property.

      we can use Badre city as a craftsmen city and transfer all the craftsmen there leaving only pubs and supermarkets in Heliopolis.

      we can use the current Egyptian flag but with an orange sun with a Brazilian bikini on it instead of the eagle. We might as well change the flag to vertical position with black being in the inside.

      You guys do all of that. I’m happy living in Zamalek seeing the Nile every morning from my bedroom. :P :P

      Comment by BigBangBoo — December 3, 2011 @ 8:12 am

    48. What about Rehab?
      I’m Christian living in Rehab, can I get ROH Visa?
      Tamari, Cairo JazzClub, Arabisc & Almazz should be moved to Helio!
      Baron Palace should be opened for parties.
      El Shamma3 should be subsidized by the Gov to have a bigger shop in the middle of Korba.

      Aswan should be renovated & supported by the Gov.

      Deals as well.

      Tivoli & Oasis should serve beer & wine.

      Hard drinks should be in the supermarkets.

      ROH should have part in Ain Sokhna Beach, I suggest Stella or Marina Wadi Degla to be exclusive for ROH.

      Mandarin Kwaider to have ice cream with Vodka & Rom.

      Le Chantille to have pork!

      Comment by Amr — December 3, 2011 @ 10:30 am

    58. ….To the people who criticize this excellent bit of humour saying everyone is elitist. My next door neighbour was born in a shack in Amreya without a proper roof , she had the poorest education and suffered terribly at home…..she had an opportunity at 18 to come to Cairo she has subsequently taught herself English ,read everything she can find , found a job in an international company gone to college in the evenings and has prospered hugely from her humble beginnings, all this in Heliopolis…..a role model for the poor people …why should’nt any resident be proud of living here it just took the desire to improve her life. Give her a job in a new Ministry. If you want to see how the ROH will work ..download or buy a copy of the old British Film Passport to Pimlico ,an area of London discovers it belongs to the Duke of Burgundy in the 1940′s and opts out. I myself will offer my services as a an officer of the Gomrok on Trams coming from Rameses to make sure there is no smuggling . Hail The republic. Equal and fair to all ! If Hilary Clinton turns up we have a spare bedroom she can use

      All ROH residents will receive a voucher for a free daily Trianon cake at Dandy Mall if you work in Smart Village to show we are cousins.

      Anyways… don’t forget that it’s in our best interest to sign a protocol with old Egypt for free use of roads to Sinai & North Coast, where we can purchase large masses of land for our beach houses & use the beaches freely. The rest of Egypt wont be allowed on our beaches. Very important.

    82. To all honest liberals in Heliopolis, is this is a liberal in your view!
      What do you expect after this Alankasem caused some in the Egyptian society? Yesterday was the talk of sectarian strife and division of the country today. Must all stand before the Sheriff of this dysfunctional thinking, which aims not only to prevent democracy and prevent the Egyptians to preserve the noble goals of the revolution to abolish all sectarian and ethnic differences. Now what is the reaction of the honorable Heliopolis including Dr. Hamzawy?

      Comment by masry from heliopolis — December 3, 2011 @ 4:32 pm

    83. Two things:

      1) We need an army and international treaties to protect us from Egypt’s baltaga.

    90. As far as most of us are willing to apply regulations on the societies based on our own moralities, we will never have our own freedom.

      Why everybody of us became an official speaker for GOD??

      Why we don’t accept that amazing Tolerant Society??

      Comment by Dr. Mohanad — December 4, 2011 @ 12:56 pm

    106. Firstly, this blog illustrates why Egypt remains undeveloped. Instead of preaching divisiveness,albeit in humor, the blogger could have volunteered his time organizing community projects to educate the poor and the less fortunate.
      Secondly, the blogger understanding of liberalism is warped. Liberals in the U.S. are for social justice. Social security, Medicare and most social programs to assist the less fortunate get educated and climb out of poverty and into thye ranks of middle class. The blogger clearly represents the ultra-conservative wing whose main concern is to help the 1% rich get richer.
      Thirdly, Please correct historical facts. All Egyptians, Moslems and Christians are Copts. The word Copt means Egyptian. When Islam spread to Egypt the majority of Egyptians were pagans. Few belonged to Christianity and Judaism. Most of the Egyptians converted to Islam. Therefore, all Egyptians regardless of religion are descendants of the ancient Egyptians (Copts).

    110. I believe it’s the liberals who understand and care about others peace of mind and freedoms & not that of some one who wants to tell me what I have to believe. The educated are always reading, searching and learning about the reasons behind issues and they don’t have to rely on blindly follow the one who can yell the loudest or control the news.

    111. I nominate myself to be ambassador to this great nation. I will then stay there, as it is likely I will be detained indefinitely if the President signes the new military appropriations bill, with is cute little add on to do away with habeas corpus. At that point, I would like to teach poetry at the soon to be opened University of Heliopolis, as well as professor of political trouble making for the rest of Egypt!

    112. A guantanamo Bay type Prison must be built inside the walls of the great Republic of Hiliopolis, in order to detain the Illigal Aliens that will be crossing our borders from Elabbassiah and Tahrir Square. Those Rates must be detained and locked up indifinately.
      I will be more than happy to lead this correction facility post with an Iron Fist, as my strong military background would qualify me to handle this honorable position.

      Comment by Moni the tuff General — December 5, 2011 @ 12:46 am

    113. Dear Dr Sue Sabet, I would like to correct your historical knowledge : “When Islam spread to Egypt the majority of Egyptians were pagans. Few belonged to Christianity and Judaism”.

      No, my dear Dr ! Most of the Egyptians at that time were Christians. Yes, many of them “converted to Islam”. But his was only when the Mamalukes reigned in the country. Until Ayyubiyyin, Egyptian population remained in majority Christian.

      Yes, you are right, “all Egyptians regardless of religion are descendants of the ancient Egyptians (Copts)”.

      All this is not important at all. We are all Egyptians regardless of the religious or political, or social, or financial belonging. And we are proud of that.

      Heliopolis inhabitants should not forget that they are the “New Egyptians” belonging truly to “Masr al-Gadida”.

      Did’t you know that since more than a hundred years, Heliopolis inhabitants have been proud to live in such a privileged area ? belonging to a special facet of Egypt ?

      All along its history, the new Heliiopolis has been an autonomous area riding self sufficiency !!

      Long live to the New Egyptians whose aim is to renew the country and forecast it for a brilliant future.

    122. You will find me a strong proponent of localized authority and districts that govern themselves rather than adhering to this failed idea of the nation-state; however, do you have to be so unabashedly classist in your rhetoric? Don’t you know that Heliopolis only exists at it is because it was built on the shoulders of the poor and exploited? Don’t be so idiotic as to believe that your “open-minded” population will survive when they having to start cleaning their own houses, growing their own food, driving their own cars, and making their own clothes. Who do you think is going to keep the floors of City Stars so gleaming, squeaky clean?

      Your assertion that “Heliopolis” will be a separate country is not humorous. Rather, it is pathetic. And you know it.

    142. You might think of adopting another flag, without any intention of reviving the monarchy of course !! Just for the symbolism and also because it’s beautiful…

      Quote:”King Fuad adopted a distinctive national flag on 10th December 1923…three white stars arranged within a single crescent, standing for Moslems, Christians and Jews living in Egypt…”Unquote.
      “Flags through the ages and across the World”. Whitney Smith: McGraw-Hill books 1975″
      This is why this green flag is my flag and for no other reason, except perhaps, because it is beautiful as well…
