Full English Translation

The first Egypt-related episode of the famous Joe Rogan podcast with Hajj Abdel Shakour Abdel Dayem, Chief of Shablanga, Qalyubia – recorded inside the Omda's guesthouse (Dawar Al-Omda) – has attracted local and international political and media attention. The Chief discussed numerous Egyptian issues and themes over more than two hours.

At the beginning of the first episode, the Chief criticised the deteriorating conditions inside Egypt, which he said is plagued by corruption and injustice. He expressed his shock at the extent of the regime's confusion and randomness in managing various issues, and the bizarre nature of many of its actions – which remind us of the days of the Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah and Qaraqush.

He gave the example of the militarisation of the state, through the appointment of judges, mosque imams, teachers, diplomats, and others – requiring them to obtain military academy courses with specifications that even military personnel are not subject to.

He asked: "Is it reasonable that weight is a condition for success for these groups to graduate and be appointed to their civilian posts?" He wondered: "Why not also height, hair colour, and eye colour as conditions for passing and succeeding?" The famous podcaster laughed, saying: "Then El-Sisi would never have succeeded, joined the army, or become president if these standards had been applied to him – because of his short height."

Responding to a question about the tree-cutting phenomenon in Egypt, the Chief said: "I was astonished and shocked by this strange savagery against rare and ancient trees – a treasure beyond value, which we breathe through. This hostility to beauty and nature for the sake of a few counted pennies!"

He said: "The Shablanga child never extends his hand to cut a branch from a mulberry tree in front of his house, because he knows its value – which his father and grandfather instilled in him. This is what the government and the regime among us have not yet learned."

The Chief then turned to the deviations of the security apparatus and the Interior Ministry, and the violations of the law that have exceeded all bounds and imagination. He said: "How can a police officer, accompanied by several constables, storm a young man's home and arrest him merely for refusing to work as a guide for them – then assault his wife, steal their money and gold, and arrest her too, merely because she exposed this crime?"

Hajj Abdel Shakour said: "If one of my field guards (Ghafar) in Shablanga dared to insult a farmer suspected of stealing a few corn cobs, grab him by his galabiya, or insult his wife with a wounding word – I would hang him on the walls of the guesthouse or tie him to the ancient sycamore tree, to be a lesson to those who do not learn."

He gave another example: Ayman Masoud, the admin of the "Voice of Shablanga" Facebook group, who has long attacked him fiercely on the group, mocked him, and accused him of corruption, injustice, and dictatorship. "Yet we did not arrest him, threaten his relatives, or incite our supporters on our Facebook pages to silence him by defaming him, distorting his image, and demonising him – because we believe in freedom of expression, opinion, and the opinion of the other, and in wisdom in the use of power."

At the end of the episode, the Chief warned of the rising vapours of revolution amid these deteriorating security, political, and economic conditions, the belittling of the people, the randomness of administration and governance, and the terrorising of the opposition's voice.

He called on the regime to expedite peaceful change to prevent popular rage and renew the blood before it is too late – so that what cannot be praised does not happen, amid these inflamed geopolitical circumstances blazing around us.

4. The warning: A revolution is coming – from the mouth of a mayor!
