Old Cairo (use Google translate to read in English or other language than Turkish – good post) It is said that the daily life of the capital is governed by a multitude of codes known only to the locals. Following the ballet of glances from photos taken on the street at random, the information is confirmed. And the subtleties of the secret language prove to be inexhaustible, I was given an exhaustive training on this topic as well.

Cairo, 2018

Ca să parcurg pe jos vechiul Cairo, am apelat la serviciile unui ghid profesionist. Astfel, am avut posibilitatea să aflu detalii cunoscute doar de localnici.

Simpatic, punctual și cu o educație remarcabilă, a ales cel mai bun moment, într-o senină dimineață de decembrie, când comerțul încă nu se dezmorțise, ca să deslușim întortocheatul labirint cairot.

La acea oră, pe străzi nu erau turiști și m-am delectat uitându-mă pe-ndelete la trecătorii ieșiți la cumpăraturi sau tabieturi matinale. Cairoții sunt foarte curtenitori, în virtutea vechilor maniere otomane perpetuate și cultivate în toate mediile sociale.

Se spune că viața cotidiană a capitalei e guvernată de o sumedenie de coduri știute doar de localnici. Urmărind baletul privirilor din fotografii făcute pe stradă la întâmplare, informația se confirmă. Iar subtilitățile limbajului secret se dovedesc inepuizabile, mi s-a făcut un instructaj exhaustiv și pe această temă.

UK considering to get made-in-India Covid vaccine: Report

New Delhi: Britain’s drug regulator is auditing manufacturing processes at Serum Institute of India (SII) which could pave the way for AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine to be shipped from there to the UK and other countries, according to two sources close to the matter.

SII, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer, is currently mass-producing the AstraZeneca vaccine, developed in conjunction with Oxford University, for dozens of poor and middle-income countries but not the UK, which has been getting its supply of the shot primarily from domestic facilities.

Myanmar Anti-Junta Protesters Appeal to Civil Servants Two Weeks After Coup

Thousands of protesters in Myanmar’s largest cities defied assembly bans and warnings from the military junta to demonstrate for the release of deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the restoration of her elected government Monday, two weeks after an army takeover in the fledgling Southeast Asian democracy.

Demonstrators in the commercial center Yangon and in Mandalay, the second largest city, tried to enlist civil servants to join the civil disobedience movement against the coup.

Large crowds gathered at the Chinese and Russian embassies to condemn those countries’ diplomatic support at the United Nations for the junta, which on Feb. 1 arrested leader Aung San Suu Kyi, suspended parliament, and imposed a one-year period of emergency rule.

While tanks, police cars and prison buses were deployed in urban centers across the country of 54 million people, protesters including celebrities called on bankers and bureaucrats to defy the regime’s threats to punish state employees, dozens of whom were rounded up over the weekend.

Despite the show of force by the military in Yangon, major protests against the military takeover were held in front of the Chinese, Russian and U.S. embassies, as well as the Central Bank.

“We are protesting against the military takeover and the loss of our freedom and our human rights,” physician Kaung Myat San told RFA.

“We want China and Russia to stop pulling the strings from behind the curtain and meddling in our country’s affairs. We strongly condemn the arrests of doctors and other civil servants too,” he said.

Celebrities joined crowds that marched past a convoy of military trucks to protest in front of central bank and Myanmar Economic Bank in Yangon and urge bank employees to join the civil disobedience movement, RFA reporters observed.  

“This Civil Disobedience Movement is very important for us. If I were a government servant, I would surely be the first to join the movement,” said a women outside the central bank, who declined to give her name for fear of reprisals.

“These people marching on the streets and protesting against the military are real heroes for the country’s future,” she told RFA.

“We do not want to see a repeat of Mya Thwet Thwet Khine, a girl about my granddaughter’s age, who was killed the other day,” said Zin Waing, a film actor and former Chairman of the Myanmar Motion Picture Association. He was referring to a 20-year-old protester who was fatally shot in Naypyidaw last week.

“We need to stop the hatred and grievances against one party and another, one individual against another, one race against another in our country. For this to happen, I want to sincerely and respectfully request and beg the Bank employees to join the Civil Disobedience Movement,” he said.

Tens of thousands of people in Mandalay, including dozens of government employees, also continued their protests against the military takeover Monday.

“I would like to invite all our fellow railway workers to join in the movement,” said Win Ko Oo, a locomotive driver.

“There were threats that we would lose our jobs and that we would have to live in fear. But we do not want our future generations to live in fear, and that is why we must take part in this,” he told RFA.

In the capital Naypyidaw on Monday, a crowd of nearly 10,000 people rallied in front of a jail holding some 40 protesters, including at least 27 high school and middle school students and eight civil servants who were, who were detained by the military while waiting for bus to return home after protesting.

The 27 students were released but others remained custody as of Monday night.

Myanmar’s telecoms firms imposed an internet outage from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday, amid reports about a looming internet shutdown and continuing restrictions on access to Facebook and other social media.

But a feared wave of mass arrests did not occur Monday, despite concerns raised by the deployment of armored vehicles and tanks and a series of decrees from the junta stiffening penalties for protests and making it easier for authorities to investigate and detain civilians.

Late on Sunday the U.S. Department of State authorized the “voluntary departure of non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members” from the country, the embassy in Yangon said in a statement that warned citizens of “the heightened potential for violence, continued telecommunications restrictions, and limited flights out of Burma.”
