Egypt's Mubarak defends his rule in courtroom cage:

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's deposed President Hosni Mubarak on Wednesday denied that he ordered protesters killed during an uprising in 2011, in his first lengthy speech to a court as his year-old retrial draws to an end.

The 86-year-old Mubarak was speaking from a gurney inside a cage that holds defendants, listing the achievements of his 29-year rule. 

He said he was not forced from power in 2011 but gave it up voluntarily so that Egypt would avert an "abyss."

"Mohammed Hosni Mubarak would never order the killing of protesters ... or SHEDDING the blood of Egyptians," 

he said in an emotional plea from the cage, wearing a blue suit and with reddened eyes.

Mubarak is serving a three-year sentence in a separate corruption case. He was found guilty in June 2012 for failing to stop the killings of protesters and sentenced to life imprisonment but won a retrial, which began in April 2013.

The final verdict will be issued on Sept 27, the judge said.

Echoing a narrative adopted by many of the men from his regime, Mubarak said that the 2011 protests had been taken over by 

"exploiters of religion inside and outside the country" who steered the demonstrations to violence.

Such language is frequently used by Mubarak-era media men and officials to refer to the Muslim Brotherhood group, whose leader Mohammed Morsi became Mubarak's successor in the country's first free elections in 2012.

A year later, the military overthrew Morsi after millions staged demonstrations against him demanding him to resign for what they called abuse of power.

"The wheel of history doesn't go backward," 

said the ageing Mubarak, who said this would likely be his last speech before his death. "No one can fabricate history," 

he added.

Hi News; Egypt to expand Suez Canal amidst internal and regional tensions.

Hi News; Egypt to expand Suez Canal amidst internal and regional tensions.

The Egyptian government announces a plan to build a new Suez Canal, parallel to the existing 145-year-old passage connecting the Mediterranean and Red Seas.

With the cost of the project estimated at $4 billion, the 72km stretch is intended to extend the congested Suez port, in a bid to raise Egypt’s international profile as a major TRADE hub.

Considering Egypt’s tourist industry is still recovering from the hit it faced following the overthrow of President Mubarak in 2011, and the decline in Western aid as a result of the political turmoil thereafter, the $5 billion in annual revenue from Suez has become a vast source of capital for Egypt’s economy.

The canal has also been achieving record-growth throughout 2014, with an increase in profits in H1 by 5.5 per cent and its highest revenue since 1869.

Regional instabilities across the Mena region have underlined Egypt’s need to further cement its grip on the Suez Canal. 

Having already faced invasion by Israel in 1973 throughout the Yom Kippur War, the authorities are well aware that Suez is an invaluable asset which ought to be utilised and protected to its full potential. 

Moreover, any disruptions to the waterway can, as they have in the past, cause profound effects on GLOBAL TRADE and oil prices.

Speaking from the port town of Ismailia, President Sisi confronted these security fears to say that the Egyptian army would oversee the project, considering 

“Sinai to a large degree has a sensitive status”

Aside from modernising and expanding Egypt’s battered infrastructure, the new canal will establish new tourist and agricultural opportunities, whilst creating 2 million JOBS.

HI ADDITION:

Suez Canal records highest revenues since 1869

Mohab Memish, head of Egypt’s Suez Canal, has said the country’s vital waterway saw the highest annual revenue in its history in the fiscal year 2013/14, Ahram has reported. 

The Egyptian canal brought in $5.3bn during the period, the highest revenues since its opening in 1869, and representing a 5.5% increase from the last fiscal year, Memish said.

Hi HEALTH INDUSTRY FOCUS' Being Mindful of Mental Health.

Hi HEALTH INDUSTRY FOCUS' Being Mindful of Mental Health.

Australia, Mental Health Issues & The Mining Business. 

The Mining Health Risk To Be Informed!

It’s generally accepted that improving the general wellness of a workforce leads to HEALTHY morale, reduced absenteeism, lower attrition and improved productivity.

However, the health and general wellness to which we refer here is generally understood in terms of physical health and much less so in terms of mental health. 

Psychological health is just as important as physical health, and yet in many companies it is misunderstood, poorly supported and lacking a clear strategy.

The reality is that an estimated 45% of Australians will experience some form of MENTAL ILLNESS at some point during their life. 

If we are being mindful of mental health then we can’t ignore a clear correlation; 

"nearly half of any workforce in any industry is currently experiencing a mental health issue."

One of the challenges that many MINING COMPANIES may face is the lack of evidence-based data to help them clearly define a strategy or make decisions around the reality of what’s happening on their mine sites and amongst their workforce.

Just how prevalent is it?

Two significant research projects have started to grapple with the prevalence and challenges of mental health issues within the mining industry. 

The first of these is research from Lifeline WA and Edith Cowan University psychologists. 

Their anonymous ON LINE SURVEY of 924 FIFO and DIDO workers showed a higher prevalence of psychological distress amongst workers as compared with the general population.

The second piece of research, Mental Health and the NSW Minerals Industry, was prepared for the NSW Minerals Council by the University of Newcastle and the Hunter Institute of Mental Health.

Their findings drew attention to the reality of the prevalence of MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES in the mining population. 

Using the baseline that the mining industry is at representative of the general population, their figures estimated that in any 12 month period between 8-10,000 workers in the NSW mining industry experience a mental illness:

“An estimated 5777 employees in the NSW Minerals industry are likely to have experienced…anxiety disorder in a twelve month period. Approximately 2500 would have experienced depression and 2000 experienced a substance use disorder…”

It is worth noting that these figures do not account for the specifics of FIFO and DIDO lifestyles. 

There is much discussion around the impact that these lifestyles have as a trigger for MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES or to what extent they exacerbate the situation.

Education is everything:

Education is critical and the recognition of signs that may indicate a problem is present very important. It’s especially important in terms of the provision of support options for a person who may be experiencing the problem. Early identification can be an important factor in someone’s treatment and in their recovery.

The behaviours associated with mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, alcohol or SUBSTANCE ABUSE vary across individuals. Behaviours may be exhibited as follows:

-          more frequent, prolonged and increasing in intensity,

-          unusual or out of the ‘normal’ scope of behaviour exhibited by this individual,

-          ongoing, irrational or disproportionally extreme.

Recognition of and education around these signs requires a commitment from organisations to train and engage the management team and the broader workforce in the importance of supporting MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. 

Given that many people experiencing mental illness do not seek treatment, it’s important to recognise the role that early recognition can play.

The impact of these behaviours on workplace productivity and safety must also be noted in any discussion related to mental health. 

This is especially pertinent in mining, where safety incidents can be life-threatening to both individuals and their teams.

Barriers to Support:

At this stage it might be useful to explore why people experiencing mental illness do not necessarily seek out treatment, and whether there are any unique contributing factors specific to the MINING INDUSTRY.

In the research conducted by Lifeline WA and Edith Cowan University, findings suggested that there were some fairly significant trends evident in the MINING INDUSTRY to provide clarity around ‘why’.

“PARTICIPANTS demonstrated a lack of insight into their own levels of stress and expressed a general reluctance to seek support. Some of the barriers to support-seeking included embarrassment, a culture of not discussing problems, fear of loss of employment if problems were openly discussed, and mistrust in supports.”

These findings correlate naturally with THE OPENING paragraph of this article; 

"that mental health is generally misunderstood and that pathways to support are not as clear-cut or transparent as they are for physical health related issues."

In addition to that, there is a clear cultural change required in mining if MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES are to be recognised as health issues, as opposed to moral issues.

As a moral issue, mental health is stigmatised and ASSOCIATED with enduring prejudices. As a health issue, stigmas are diminished and treatment becomes a more acceptable option. As a result the shame or fear associated with saying “I am not OK’ is significantly reduced.

Be Mindful of Mental Health:

"Even if no-one is talking about it, it’s happening."

This is the reality and mining organisations are now in the position of determining how to move forward and create strategies and pathways to better support their workforce.

The challenge is to get mental health on the management agenda. The processes required to create clear consistent pathways to support must first be supported by the right infrastructure as well as across-the-board training and education.

There are a number of strategies that can be employed and these include:

1)    Start from the top – create a mental health strategy for your organisation that begins with the management team

2)    Educate, educate, educate – consistent and authentic training is a vital part of any mental health awareness strategy

3)    Accept that current pathways to support may not be working and that you may need to re-assess why

4)    Sometimes the most powerful influence is a person's boss. It’s critical that line managers are also trained to recognised the signs and engaged in the importance of support provision.

5)    Organisational and JOB design characteristics such as FIFO could be a mitigating factor and linked with mental health and well being

Mental illness is common in any industry and the impact of mental illness in the workforce can result in significant costs to an organisation. It MAKES BUSINESS sense for mining organisations to adopt an integrated approach to mental health and well being. 

Furthermore, it makes sense to start tackling stigma and other barriers to treatment in order to ensure the safety, productivity, well-being and health of your workforce.

Hi News! Global Watch! See It First! Egypt Divided! Business Watch! Egypt Stability & Security a Year On! Media Report!

A year later, protest's bloody end divides Egypt!.

A year after hundreds were killed in the biggest massacre in modern Egyptian history, the division is even stronger, now drawn in blood, between Egypt’s traditional two strongest powers: A military aiming to restore its old order, and the Muslim Brotherhood trying to survive after being ousted from power. That rivalry likely locks Egypt into continued conflict, with fears democracy will be the loser. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra, File).

CAIRO (AP) — Around 6:30 a.m., police armoured vehicles rumbled up to the barricades at the edges of the anti-government sit-in where thousands of Islamic had camped out for weeks in a Cairo square.

First came tear gas. Then quickly, police started using machine guns. Every five minutes, student Mahmoud el-Iddrissi remembers, they swept the barricade with bullets. A friend next to him stood to throw a firecracker and immediately fell, shot in his neck and shoulder.

The scene on Aug. 14, 2013, was the start of the biggest massacre in modern Egyptian history, as security forces crushed the sit-in by Islamic supporters of Mohammed Morsi, the elected president who had been removed by the military a month earlier. At least 624 people were killed during 12 hours of mayhem in Cairo's Rabaah el-Adawiyah Square, though rights groups have said the toll may be several hundred higher.

An Associated Press investigation into the day shows that commanders gave security forces virtually carte Blanche to use deadly force. Authorities contend police only responded with live ammunition on anyone who fired on them — and eight policemen were killed by gunmen in the square during the assault.

But broad orders given to the security forces, revealed to AP, emphasized crushing resistance. The orders to police were to "act according to the situation and by degrees of escalation," two generals in the Interior Ministry, which is in charge of the police, told the AP. But also, security forces were told to expect protesters to have weapons and were free to swiftly move to eliminate them, they said.

"We explained earlier to them that self-defence is legitimate and they will not be subjected to prosecution later on," one general said.

Steps were taken to ensure that. One of the generals said ammunition was brought to the troops from multiple storehouses to obfuscate its origin. Release logs were covered up, he said, so they could not be used as evidence if any policemen were prosecuted, as had happened previously after the protests against Mubarak.

A few days before the assault, a top Interior Ministry official gave a fiery speech to Central Security troops vowing revenge for policemen killed by Islamic militants. "The blood of our sons in the police will not go in vain," he told them, according to the generals. The two generals spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the planning.

Interviews with more than 20 surviving protesters, security officials and diplomats also uncovered another key factor. 

Both the military-backed government and Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, the main force behind the protest, staunchly resisted any concessions that international mediators hoped could avert the disaster. 

While giving mixed signals to mediators, the military-backed government never wavered from its stance that the sit-in had to be removed, and the Brotherhood and its allies increasingly committed their cause on an all-or-nothing stand in Rabaah.

The sit-in arose in response to rallies by millions of Egyptians demanding the removal of Morsi, the Brotherhood leader who had become Egypt's first freely elected president a year earlier. 

After his July 3, 2013, ouster by then-army chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the sit-in swelled with crowds of families camped out in hundreds of tents. From a stage at the center, prominent clerics and other figures daily told crowds they would hold out until Morsi was restored. A second, smaller sit-in was located across the capital in Nahda Square.

Tensions swelled throughout July. Security officials called Rabaah a threat, saying armed "terrorists" were among the protesters. Independent rights groups have since confirmed that there were a few carrying automatic weapons among the crowds, but that it hardly constituted an "armed camp." 

Twice, police opened fire on protesters in other parts of the city and killed more than 100.

Within 15 minutes of the start of the dispersal on Aug. 14, casualties started flooding into a clinic set up by protesters in the reception hall of the Rabaah Mosque: guards from the barricades on the sit-in's eastern edge with gaping wounds from heavy caliber guns, said Fatma Yahya Bayad, a surgeon in the clinic.

On the western side of the sit-in, police fired warning shots in the air for the first 20 minutes. Then they came under gunfire from nearby buildings, the two generals said. Lt. Mohammed Gouda, who was circulating with a loudspeaker to tell residents to stay indoors, was the first policeman shot and killed.

A key question about Rabaah is who shot first. A comparison of accounts does not definitively answer that because witnesses' recollection of timing is likely not exact.

The generals said that when Gouda was killed, security forces panicked and let loose with heavy fire.

However, the accounts of Bayad, el-Bittar and el-Iddrissi suggest the first gunshot casualties among protesters — on the far side of the sit-in from Gouda's shooting — had already happened.

Over the next 12 hours mayhem reigned. In Rabaah's reception hall clinic, bodies lined up in rooms as volunteers tried to treat the wounded. 

"I know I'm going to die, just give me something for the pain," one patient told Bayad. Tear gas barrages forced staff and wounded in the clinic to flee to a hospital, a few dozen yards away;

Mohammed Gamal, a 21-year-old on the fifth floor of a building from which protesters were pelting police with stones, recalls seeing a man in the street below fall from a shot. 

"Another protester tried to crawl to him," Gamal remembered. "The minute he touched the body, he too was shot."

The final toll from Rabaah was 624 dead, according to the government's human rights agency. Gamal Abd-ul-Sattar, a senior figure in the Brotherhood-led anti-coup alliance, told the AP that the group documented names of 2,500 dead, though the highest tallies by independent rights groups are far lower, nearly 1,000.

Egyptian law allows police to use weapons to disperse assemblies that "present a danger to public security." Rights groups, however, say the issue is in proportionality, and courts tend to give wide leeway to police. 

"Everything today is up to who has the right and power to interpret (the law) and impose his interpretation," said prominent Egyptian rights lawyer Bahy Eddin Hassan.

Notably, the interior minister announced after the dispersal was over that weapons found in the square totalled nine automatic weapons, a pistol, five home made guns and a large amount of ammunition.

"The question remains whether the day could have been averted."

A quartet of mediators stepped in — U.S. State Department official Robert Burns, EU envoy Bernadino Leon, and diplomats from Qatar, an ally of the Brotherhood, and the United Arab Emirates, an ally of Egypt's military. 

The mediators proposed the government release some Brotherhood leaders, while the protesters would reduce numbers in the squares and tone down rhetoric. International experts would investigate claims of weapons among the protesters and of violence on both sides.

In a prison meeting with the mediators, the Brotherhood's most powerful figure, deputy leader Khairat el-Shater, had been willing to start talks with authorities if a prominent Brotherhood member, Saad el-Katatni, were released from prison to act as a negotiator, Leon told the AP.

But Brotherhood leaders and their allies on the ground in Rabaah adhered to their stance that Morsi must be freed.

"Any dialogue must be with the legitimately elected president," Abd-ul-Sattar said.

And the government gave mixed signals on releasing el-Katatni, first saying charges against him were dropped, then announcing new ones that prevented his release.

In the end, each side's position on any deal was, Leon said: "It is the other side who should start first."
