A livestream showing German streamer Benjamool being pelted with rocks while walking through Cairo has gone viral online, particularly on platforms like Reddit, with numerous commenters posting derogatory and racist remarks about Egypt and Egyptians as a whole. The incident was shared on Reddit’s r/LivestreamFail, yet what followed was a barrage of racist and xenophobic comments portraying Egyptians as violent, uncivilized, and inherently hostile toward foreigners. Users described Egypt in derogatory terms, attacked Egyptians collectively, and suggested that the behavior in the video represented the country and its people.

A skill that was adequate five years ago will probably not be enough anymore. It may be necessary to acquire additional skills such as learning new software, working with data and online systems, or understanding new machinery. Short courses can help you gain these skills. When College Work Gets in the Way of Career Training It can be hard to learn new skills while you are still studying. You may want to take a data course or learn new software, but essays, exams, and other assignments keep taking up your free time. A large written project can easily push career training to the bottomContinue reading "Continuing Education Courses and Egypt’s Growing Demand for Technical Skills"
