The timing reference to "three months" making the demands seem both urgent and unreasonable


"Urgent Demands:Circumcision Allowance & Wedding Parties in Military Budge

This satirical headline captures the absurdity of demanding personal family expenses like children's circumcision ceremonies and wedding costs to be included in the official military budget.The humor derives from:


 The ridiculous contrast between serious military funding and personal family celebrations

 The exaggeration of demands that go far beyond reasonable benefits

 The implicit criticism of entitlement culture within certain institutions

 The timing reference to "three months" making the demands seem both urgent and unreasonable


The headline works because it takes real grievances about salaries but magnifies the demanded benefits to absurd levels, creating dark humor about budget priorities and institutional overreach.


 I have looked into the situation for you. While there are indeed widespread reports of discontent over salaries and pensions, I could not find specific information about the non-payment of routine salaries and allowances for the past three months or the inclusion of the specific new benefits you mentioned (such as wedding or honeymoon expenses) in any current budget.


However, information from various sources confirms that military personnel and retirees in several countries are facing financial grievances and are actively demanding improvements to their salaries and pensions.


📢 Voices of Discontent and Official Acknowledgment


Recent reports from different regions highlight that the frustration among military personnel and retirees is both real and ongoing.


· In Palestine: A committee representing hundreds of military officers retired in early 2025 has been holding sit-ins for months. They report that after seven months, they have not received their full retirement salaries, one-time bonus payments, or savings contributions. They attribute the problems to financial deductions that were not transferred to the pension agency and a failure to pay the full legal percentage of their pensions.

· In Jordan: The Head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee stated that the committee will recommend increasing salaries for military retirees in the 2025 budget discussions. Furthermore, a coalition of public sector unions (including military and civilian retirees) declared that a recent meeting with the Finance Minister was "not positive," as it yielded no practical commitments or clear roadmap for improving salaries, leaving promises in the realm of "theoretical talk".


The table below summarizes the key issues raised in different areas:


Region Reported Issues & Demands

Palestine Non-payment of full pensions and entitlements months after retirement; allegations of fund mismanagement.

Jordan Parliamentary pressure for pension increases; public union frustration over government inaction on salary improvement promises.

Morocco Government is studying a potential 5-10% salary increase for state workers, including in vital sectors, to address inflation.


🔍 How to Find More Specific Information


The details of military benefits and budgets are often specific to each country. To get more precise information, you could try the following:


· Check Official Channels: For the most accurate information, please consult the official websites of the Ministry of Defense or the Pension Authority of the specific country you are inquiring about. National news agencies also often report on official budget announcements.

· Use More Specific Search Terms: If you are looking for information about a particular country, including its name in your search will help narrow down the results significantly (e.g., "military pension increase Egypt 2025" or "new allowances for soldiers Jordan").


I hope this information helps clarify the current situation. If you can specify which country's military policies you are interested in, I would be happy to try and find more targeted information for you.

The Pharaohs’ Summit at the Grand Egyptian Museum

🏺 The Pharaohs’ Summit at the Grand Egyptian Museum (Annotated Literary Translation by the Digital Nadim) In the Grand Conference Hall of the Great Egyptian Museum, a most unlikely quadrilateral summit was convened — gathering King Tutankhamun, King Ahmose I, King Thutmose III, and King Ramses II — to discuss, with the gravity befitting eternity, the deplorable state of Egypt in modern times: the moral decay, the collapse of its ancient grandeur, and the diminished stature of its rulers, now reduced to seeking aid from every foreign patron who passes by with a cheque and a smile. King Ahmose I, the liberator of Egypt from the Hyksos, spoke first — his royal heart heavy with sorrow over the extinction of the flame of dignity among his descendants. He mourned a generation that walks burdened with inherited resignation, its veins drained of pride and defiance. Then rose Thutmose III, once the architect of Egypt’s imperial zenith, and gazed — in disbelief — upon the docility of her presen...

“In Search of Human Readers: When a Digital Satirist Puts His Audience on Trial”

الترجمة الإنجليزية للنص: A Major Surprise It is with great pleasure that (The Digital Nadim) announces this joyous news to his esteemed, silent ghostly readers: the introduction of a bouquet of unique awards. Namely: · The "First Commenter" Award for his writings. · The "First Follower" Award for his Arabic or English blog. · The "First Lik-er" Award for the same. This comes after more than 800 satirical texts have yielded absolutely no interaction from any of his readers thus far. He even began to entertain the sinister suspicion that he had gone mad and was talking to himself, or that these readers were ghosts, and thus their interactions were spectral, invisible to the likes of us mortals. Accordingly, to dispel these illusions and absurdities, and to confirm that all these readers are indeed human—flesh and blood, with minds, walking the earth as we do—we, The Digital Nadim, have decided to present these golden awards to anyone who can prove the theory...
