What capacity can Eqypt ever provide to anyone? Their military can not even handle 20 poorly equped insurgents in the Sanai, their famars still use antiquated shadoof irrigation methods till now. Stop joking!!! They are up to something these eqyptians, possibly our water since Ethiopia is kicking their but.
pity their own people are poor and egypt dishing out scholararship. IDIOTS.
Egypt in the middle of their political chaos back home they could still spare something for malawi?we surely are an eye saw, we have become so sympathetic to our fellow African countries.the same feeling u get when u see a beggar in street, even if u are broke u still feel like giving our a little coin to them.
what criteria did they use to select the beneficiaries of these scholarships? Please, Malawians, wake up. Some people always think that they are more equal than others and they go untouched by manipulating the equal opportunities just to make sure that their kinsmen benefit more than others. This is nobody’s money but it is from the Egyptians so, please, let us play our selection role with integrity by being fair, credible and impartial.
Was the selection of these people free and fair. Don’t trust anything you hear from mapwevupwevu gaffament
