news
Concern for the environment
(cairolive.com, May 29, 2002) President
Hosni Mubarak
is heading for the United States in early June to meet with US
President George Bush... Primary on the agenda -- jump-starting the
moribund Middle East peace process.
At home, Mubarak recently outlined a long

continuing attempts to become more user-friendly, a virtual necessity in a
changing media landscape.

Bibliotheca
Alexandrina's Board of Trustees. The library's director, Ismail

had lost one of its strongest supporters...
