A Different Drummer


Monthly self-promotion hour

Better late than never, here's a few of my articles from this month's Business Today Egypt:

The Great Egyptian Gold Rush
- About the race to capitalize on Egypt's enormous untapped gold reserves

Searching for Success - The launch of Onkosh, a new Arabic search engine - the company behind the search engine, Orascom Telecom, also have some pretty big plans for their Arabic-language internet business.

Make Your Press Releases Work - A guide/plea to P.R hacks to write better press releases.

There was also some cool stuff in Egypt Today this month if you are interested in keeping up to date with the most important country in the Middle East. Voices of Islam is a great look at three of the most influential people in the Muslim world: Televangelist Amr Khaled, Grand Mufti of Egypt Ali Gomaa and US-born convert Sheikh Hamza Yousef.

Given the Chance
follows up on the plight of two "Islamists" (one was 14 when arrested in 1992) who have been jailed, tortured etc for the last 15+ years. They were recently released, and their story is one worth paying attention to - this type of painful reconciliation with the past is something we will be seeing a lot more of in this part of the world, for a long time to come.

Plus, who could look past the debut article of two great Divas of Cairo - Megan and Farzina. They worked together on Around the World in 30 Days, a look at the different ways that Ramadan is celebrated by Muslims across the world, from Illinois to Azerbaijan.
