Late for Interview

Photos copyright Nejude Al-Ibrahim, 2009

The Autostrad road was never as crowded as it was yesterday.There were hunderds of policemen standing beside el Moqattam road while I was going to shoot an interview in Maadi for one of the stories I am doing.

My driver asked me " Howa fee harb el nahrda ? " meaning " Is there a war going on today? "

And then I kept wondering and said " Today is what ? May 3rd ? Uh maybe these guys are here to make sure everything is going well since the president's birthday is tomorrow and he might be celebrating it up the mountain there or something."

I didn't know what was going on until I read this today.
