When a Cosmic Conflict Becomes an Excuse to Raise Prices: The Ultimate Satire of Economic Crisis Management

A Satirical Text by Al-Nadim Al-Raqmi (The Digital Nadim)

---

Full English Translation

President Sisi announced after an emergency meeting of the National Security Council that the severe crisis currently taking place between a number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy (within which Egypt is located) and stars in the Andromeda galaxy has escalated from a political dispute to a trade war, and has now reached heated military skirmishes. Strategists expect this to develop into a full‑scale galactic war, fueled by competition over several nebulae and disputed quantities of cosmic dust. This crisis has led to a decline in the value of the Egyptian pound against foreign currencies and a disruption in supply chains for grain, food commodities, and energy reaching the Egyptian market, due to the state of panic, uncertainty, and fear that the repercussions of the stellar wars might reach the planets of our galaxy, including Earth.

President Sisi confirmed that he is in constant communication with US President Donald Trump and a large number of leaders in the European Union, China, and Russia to follow the tense situation in the galaxy and to discuss ways to confront it, attempting to reach a peaceful solution that would spare our galaxy the grave consequences of a clash with our sister galaxy, Andromeda.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly declared a state of emergency in the country, imposed mandatory price controls on basic commodities, and issued immediate decisions to raise electricity, water, and gas prices by 100%, as well as to double the prices of all goods and services – as a first step to confront the repercussions of the critical galactic situation and in preparation for its deterioration into a cosmic war at any moment.

Introduction: The Star Wars No One Asked For

This text by Al-Nadim Al-Raqmi represents the zenith of satire on how governments exploit external crises to justify domestic austerity. The central idea: a conflict between the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies (over nebulae and cosmic dust) causes the Egyptian pound to collapse and food supplies to be disrupted. President Sisi consults world leaders to calm the galactic tensions, while Prime Minister Madbouly declares a state of emergency and raises electricity prices by 100%.

The satire operates on multiple levels:

· Cosmic escalation: From political dispute → trade war → military skirmishes → full‑scale galactic war.

· Local impact: Currency collapse, supply chain disruption, price hikes.

· International diplomacy: Sisi calls Trump, China, and Russia to resolve a galactic conflict.

· "Our sister galaxy Andromeda": The language of Arab brotherhood applied to a galaxy that will collide with the Milky Way in billions of years.

· State of emergency: Madbouly seizes the opportunity to double all prices.

Part One: Literary and Rhetorical Analysis – The Language of Cosmic Catastrophe

1. "The severe crisis between stars of the Milky Way... and stars of Andromeda"

The opening mimics serious news reports about international conflicts ("severe crisis," "military skirmishes," "full‑scale war"). The subject, however, is not nations but stars and galaxies. The satire: turning outer space into a theater of earthbound politics.

2. "Political dispute → trade war → military skirmishes → full‑scale galactic war"

This escalation ladder mirrors real‑world conflicts (e.g., Russia‑Ukraine, US‑China trade war). Applying it to galaxies creates a satirical parallel: do stars have foreign policies? Defense budgets?

3. "Competition over several nebulae and disputed quantities of cosmic dust"

Nebulae are interstellar gas clouds; cosmic dust is fine particles. Making them objects of conflict is absurd inflation: nations fight over land, resources, water; here, stars fight over dust.

4. "Decline in the value of the Egyptian pound... disruption of supply chains"

These are real economic effects of actual crises (e.g., the Ukraine war caused grain and energy price spikes). The text satirizes the government's habit of blaming any event – no matter how distant or absurd – for local economic problems.

5. "President Sisi is in constant communication with Trump, the EU, China, and Russia"

World leaders are coordinating to resolve a galactic crisis. The satire: Sisi calls them, and they are following "the tense situation in the galaxy." As if China has strategic interests in the Milky Way.

6. "Our sister galaxy, Andromeda"

In Arab diplomacy, "sister state" is used for fellow Arab nations. Here, Andromeda – a galaxy that will collide with the Milky Way in about 4.5 billion years – is called "sister." The satire mocks the banalization of diplomatic language.

7. "Prime Minister Madbouly declared a state of emergency... 100% increase in electricity, water, gas... doubling all prices"

Madbouly exploits the "cosmic emergency" to raise prices. The satire: any crisis – even one 2.5 million light‑years away – is an opportunity for austerity.

8. "As a first step to confront the repercussions... in preparation for its deterioration into a cosmic war"

The government does not wait for the war to start; it raises prices immediately "as a first step." The satire: even the fear of a cosmic war justifies price hikes.

---

Part Two: Political Analysis – Egypt at the Center of the Universe

1. "The Milky Way galaxy within which Egypt is located"

Egypt is not just a country; it is a part of the galaxy. The satire targets Egyptian exceptionalism: even the cosmos is seen through an Egypt‑centric lens. "Our galaxy" becomes "the galaxy that contains Egypt."

2. Egypt as cosmic mediator

Sisi is depicted as a key intermediary between galaxies, consulting world leaders to resolve a conflict between stars. The satire inflates Egypt's diplomatic role to cosmic proportions.

3. "Our sister galaxy Andromeda"

Using "sister" for a galaxy mocks the reflexive use of kinship terms in Arab politics (e.g., "sister Sudan," "brotherly Palestine"). Andromeda will eventually collide with the Milky Way, but for now, it is "sisterly."

4. Trump as galactic ally

Trump, who once doubted climate change on Earth, is called upon to solve a galactic crisis. The satire targets the absurd scope of US foreign policy: intervening everywhere, even in interstellar affairs.

---

Part Three: Economic Analysis – Any Excuse Will Do

1. "The pound declined because of the galaxy war"

Linking the Egyptian pound's collapse to a war between stars is a satirical reductio ad absurdum of the government's habit of blaming external factors (COVID, Ukraine war, regional tensions) for domestic economic failures. If a galactic war can be blamed, anything can.

2. "Disruption of supply chains for grain and energy"

Real wars disrupt supply chains. A war between stars 2.5 million light‑years away does not. The satire: the government invokes any pretext to explain shortages and inflation.

3. "100% increase in electricity, water, gas... doubling all prices"

Madbouly does not wait for the cosmic war to begin. He raises prices immediately "as a first step." The satire: the preparation for a crisis is itself a crisis, and crises justify austerity.

4. "Mandatory price controls" alongside price doubling

Imposing price controls while simultaneously doubling prices is a satirical contradiction. The satire exposes the emptiness of government interventions: they claim to protect consumers while raising prices.

Part Four: The Text in Al‑Nadim's Project – The External Crisis Trilogy

This text joins a series of satires that mock the use of external crises to justify internal policies:

Text External Crisis Internal Policy

Iran‑US War Closure of the Strait of Hormuz Fuel price hikes

Exporting Repression Iran war Budget deficit solution

This Text Galactic war 100% price increase

The progression: from regional crises to cosmic crises.

Part Five: Deep Symbolic Meanings

1. The Milky Way as a symbol of the homeland

Our galaxy is our cosmic home. The satire: Egypt is part of the galaxy, and the galaxy's fate is tied to Egypt's decisions.

2. Andromeda as a symbol of the coming enemy

Andromeda will collide with the Milky Way billions of years from now. Calling it "sister" satirizes the instant conversion of enemies into friends in real‑world diplomacy.

3. Cosmic dust as a symbol of trivial causes for war

Nations fight over oil, water, land. Here, they fight over cosmic dust. The satire mocks the pettiness of real‑world conflict causes.

4. The state of emergency as a symbol of permanent exceptionalism

Egypt has been under a state of emergency for decades. The text satirizes the normalization of exception: any occasion extends it.

Part Six: Conclusion – Star Wars to Raise Your Bills

This text is one of Al‑Nadim's most audacious satires on governance mechanisms. A galactic war that no one can verify becomes the reason for currency collapse and price hikes. The government does not wait for the war to start; it raises prices immediately "in preparation."

The deeper message: The regime needs a permanent enemy to justify its policies. If no enemy exists on Earth, one can be imported from space. The Milky Way faces Andromeda, and Egypt faces the specter of collapse. In the end, the citizen pays the price.

---

Satirical Conclusion

At the National Security Council meeting, the Defense Minister showed satellite images of Andromeda's star movements. Sisi said: "This is an existential threat." The Foreign Minister said: "I will call Trump." Madbouly said: "And I will raise prices." A participant objected: "But the war hasn't started yet." Madbouly replied: "I will raise prices in preparation." The next day, bills increased. In the sky, nothing changed. The moon was still in its place.
