C’est un exercice facile, parmi les gens qui connaissent un peu (mais pas beaucoup) l’#Internet de critiquer le protocole de #routage #BGP. Un exemple est ce mauvais article
▻https://networkingnerd.net/2017/12/15/should-we-build-a-better-bgp, dont l’auteur n’a même pas compris la différence entre IGP (protocole de routage interne, toutes les machines sont sous la même administration et se font confiance) et
EGP (protocole de routage externe, entre organisations concurrentes, voire ennemies). BGP est un EGP et cela explique bien des choses dans sa conception.Cet article explique bien pourquoi BGP est comme il est et ce qui fait qu’il n’est pas facile de faire « mieux » :

Egyptian Blogger Alaa Abd El Fattah Sentenced to Five Years in Jail · Global Voices
▻http://globalvoicesonline.org/2015/02/23/egyptian-blogger-alaa-abd-el-fattah-sentenced-to-five-years-in-jAbd El Fattah is one of 25 defendants in what has become known as the Shura Council case. He was first arrested for this case on November 28, 2013. Last June, he was sentenced to 15 years in absentia and given a 100,000 Egyptian pound fine after being convicted of attacking a police officer and violating a 2013 protest law that prohibits unauthorized demonstrations. According to Mada Masr, which quoted the state-owned Ahram Gate website, they are accused of: “organizing an unauthorized protest outside the Shura Council in Cairo, attacking a police officer, stealing a walkie-talkie, hooliganism, aggression against police officers, blocking the road, crowding a public place and destruction of public property.”
After an appeal by his lawyers, Abd El Fattah was issued a retrial in August 2014. On September 15, 2014, the presiding judge recused himself from the case after an incident a week earlier, in which the prosecution presented a video depicting Manal Hassan, Abd El Fattah’s wife, dancing. Taken from Hassan’s laptop, which confiscated by police when Abd El Fattah was arrested and taken from his family’s home in November of 2013, the video bears no discernible relationship with his political activities.
The saga came to a complete circle today, with the new judge issuing a five year jail sentence against Abd El Fattah and another defendant Ahmed Abdel Rahman, who was passing by the protest, and was arrested along with Abdel Fattah, as he was helping some girls who were being harassed by the police. Abdel Rahman was also slapped a similar fine. Eighteen other defendants were sentenced to three years in prison and three years on probation, in addition to a similar fine.
Tout cela n’est pas bien grave, on a vendu 24 rafales.

Egypt received $10.6 billion from Gulf last fiscal year: minister
▻http://english.alarabiya.net/en/business/economy/2014/11/08Egypt received $10.6 billion from Gulf last fiscal year: minister
Reuters, Cairo
Egypt received $10.6 billion in aid from Gulf states in the last fiscal year, the finance minister said on Saturday, the first time the government has put a total figure on how much its oil-rich allies spent to prop up the economy.
Of about 74 billion Egyptian pounds of aid received in the 2013-14 fiscal year, 53 billion pounds was in the form of petroleum products, with the remaining 21 billion pounds coming as cash grants, Hany Kadry Dimian told a news conference.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait have provided Egypt with political and economic support since then-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ousted elected Islamist President Mohammad Mursi in July last year and led a crackdown on his supporters.
Sisi went on to win a presidential election in May and has promised to restore stability and growth to a country convulsed by turmoil since the 2011 overthrow of Hosni Mubarak.
Soon after Mursi’s removal, Gulf states pledged Egypt about $12 billion aid. In September 2013, the Egyptian Central Bank chief said about $7 billion of that had been received. But Saturday’s figures are the most concrete to date.
Although his critics say political freedoms have been eroded under Sisi, the government has passed a raft of reforms from subsidy cuts to tax hikes that have impressed business leaders.
Egypt’s government deficit shrank as a percentage of gross domestic product last year, Dimian said, a positive sign for a government that is trying to balance cutting its deficit and reviving growth.
The deficit was 255.4 billion pounds, or about 12.8 percent of GDP, in 2013-14, he said, compared to 13.7 percent of GDP, or 239.7 billion pounds, in the previous year.
Egypt’s spending on a generous subsidy system that is weighing on government finances rose by 10 % last year, however, to 187.7 billion pounds. Most of last year’s subsidies bill, 126 billion pounds, was for fuel, the minister said.
The government cut energy subsidies in July, the start of the current fiscal year, in a bid to better balance its books. But the move raised prices of gasoline, diesel and natural gas by up to 78 percent and caused a spike in inflation.

Egypt : another journalist sentenced to prison - Daily News Egypt
▻http://www.dailynewsegypt.com/2014/06/25/another-journalist-sentenced-prison
Journalist Abdel Rahman Shaheen was sentenced to three years in prison and a EGP 10,000 fine on Tuesday.
Charges against Shaheen, the Suez-based journalist, include inciting and participating in violence, according to state-run MENA.
Shaheen previously worked for pro-Islamist television channel Misr 25, and for the official newspaper of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP)—the Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm, both of which have been closed by the government since Mohamed Morsi’s ouster.
State media reports claim Shaheen was a correspondent for Al-Jazeera, but Osama Saeed, spokesman for the Qatar-based network, said that Al-Jazeera has not had any staff in Egypt since the arrest of three of its journalists on 29 December.

357 million EGP for housing projects in El Alrish – 132 buildings

The on December 21st that the Ministry of Local Development had earmarked 2 bn EGP for slum development projects which will be awarded (surprise, surprise) to the army, as per an MOU to be signed the following week. Another article a few days later detailed some of the ministry’s spending projects, and aside from the slum development, the Ministry also has projected spending another 2 bn EGP to develop 14 train level crossings (مزلقانات) across the country.

Interior ministry’s budget increases
▻http://www.dailynewsegypt.com/2013/05/25/interior-ministry-rep-asks-for-budget-raise
The government passed next year’s budget for the Ministry of Interior, raising the budget to over EGP 23bn.
During a discussion of the budget increase inside the Shura Council’s Committee for Arab, Foreign and National Security, the ministry representative said most of the budget increase will be allocated to compensations that will be paid to members of the police force. Of the EGP 4.7bn budget increase, EGP 2.4bn will go into rewards, he said.(...)
Malek Adly, a lawyer at the Egyptian Centre for Social and Economic Rights : "We have other problems” in infrastructure, environment, and education among others, he said, suggesting that EGP 2bn could be used to try and fix them.“This is why we have filed a lawsuit to allow the Egyptian public to decide where the money goes… so that the budget is part of a social discussion,” he said. The case is currently being circulated in the court system.
