Mubarak No. 8

Liberal Blog  

Analysts, Presidents, and ordinary people all over the world have had various thoughts on Fidel Castro’s decision not to seek another term as President. In Egypt however his decision had a different impact. Besides the usual news stories in the newspapers, Castro leaving power had another impact on Egypt.

Castro had for so many years maintained his position as the world’s longest serving President. Having taken over power in 1959, very few world leaders have remained for so long, but Castro’s decision helped President Mubarak a lot. Instead of being No. 9 on the list of the world’s longest serving Presidents, Mubarak has jumped to No. 8.

The list is quite entertaining to read. The current standing is as follows:

1. Gabon: Omar Bongo 1967
2. Libya: Moammar Gadhafi 1969
3. Yemen: Ali Abdullah Saleh
4. Maldives: Maumoon Abdul Gayoom 1978
5. Equatorial Guinea: Teodoro Obiang 1979
6. Angola: Jose Eduardo dos Santos 1979
7. Zimbabwe: Robert Mugabe 1980
8. Egypt: Hosni Mubarak 1981

Of course it is lovely to see all those
countries rankings on the United Nations Human Development Index to get the full picture of those great leaders tremendous efforts on behalf of their countries.

Gabon (119)
Libya (56)
Yemen (153)
Maldives (100)
Equatorial Guinea (127)
Angola (162)
Zimbabwe (151)
Egypt (112)

Mubarak might be happy with his newly hard worked rank, but as an Egyptian I see it as a disgrace we should be No. 1. Why should Gabon be better than Egypt? Mubarak should send his intelligence and state security to do the job and give him his rightful place in history No. 1.

To make matters funnier, El Badeel newspaper in celebration of Egypt’s great victory in reaching No. 8 published a
list of the public places that Mr. Mubarak has dedicated to himself and named after himself. The list is awesome and crystallizes how Egyptians love their President.

2600 Schools
400 Hospitals
52 Housing Project
300 Villages
90 Research Centers
180 Agricultural Projects
600 Conference Centers
62 Streets and Bus Stations

The Saudi Dynasty have renamed the whole country to their founders name, Egypt should not stand there watching them take that prestige. Let’s rename the country after Mubarak. Let Egypt’s name from now on be Al Mubarakia.
