It was a nightmare experience yesterday for me to be resting alone at this area. Two Egyptian guards made a traumatic experience for me not to returned back. I felt threatened and unsafed. It was around 2100H in the evening expecting to have good and relaxing rest after three days being hospitalized. Never get a chance to celebrate the Eid holidays as I am in and out of the hospital. While enjoying the peaceful place, I found one Egyptian guard with mustache sitting and I greeted him nicely. Greeting him"Eid Mubarak! " and offering him a cigarette as I told him humbly that this is act of kindness thanking you with only this piece of cigarette I can offer. And he replied nicely with" Thank you! ". I continue walking from end to end to practice my injured leg. Then I saw once again the guard but now with another Egyptian gurard whom I smiled nicely because I met him before. It was odd that he don't even greeted back. They are talking at the their language not so far from me and they partways. As I was afraid to leave alone at the area, I started to walk again. At the other side, I saw the guard whom I had known before and got a chance to ask why he became snabbish offering him a cigaratte. He nicely greet me but never took the cigarette and he said to wait, making me puzzled of the different approached. All of a sudden someone rushed at my back, headlock me and asking for my mobile phone. Here came the other guard telling me that I was caught at the CCTV doing something but they bought were grabbing parts of my pant locating my mobile. I even dropped my pack of cigarette. That time I need to defend myself physically to two big Egyptian guards trying to harrass me. They want my mobile and even the part where my wallet was located trying to insert their hands which that time I tried to struggle where the good escape was to scream for help while brawling thise big guys. I found way to lossen up their grip and continue screaming securing my valuable things like my mobile and my wallet. They continue to take picture and video up to the point where I went into my car. I even called my legal counselor for that time or anyone to help me in the course of escape. They even blocked my car taking video and threatening me to call the police. Giving me an idea to call police who respond immediately. I get my goid Egyptian friend to reoresent me. Locked with good Arabic speaking I asked my Egyptian brother to explain exactly as I wrote in here. It was not good as I planned to have a 30 minutes of rest turned to a very frightening experience that never came into my mind. Be careful to talk to anyone. Still evil hides in the facade of...
