Egyptian farmer held for naming donkey after army chief

An Egyptian farmer has been arrested for putting the name of the country's military chief and an army cap on his donkey, state media said on Saturday.

Omar Abu al-Magd Ali al-Saghir, 31, was arrested late on Friday in the central province of Qena for allegedly insulting the general, state news agency MENA reported.

The farmer was arrested after he rode the donkey through his home village in an act deemed "directly insulting" to the army, MENA said.

is those who ever claimed to be rebelions, human right activists and democracy prophets are simply turning a blind eye.

Is it fear? or the fact is they believe none of whatever they claimed!!!!!

The name "Donkey" itself is so beautiful than the other name in terms of actions.

Would that not be insulting to the donkey giving him strange and funny names

when naming your donkey and dressing him up! Wonder what penalty the farmer will now face. As ridiculous as it may all appear, the situation is really far from funny now.

And of course this is a capital offence since the General sees himself as a pharaoh :0(
