The Russian performance has already begun, it has been invited to test the new security measures already in place at certain Egyptian airports. There could be problems on the high wire, however, Russia is still waiting for the Egyptian government to admit that the Russian air crash of October 2015 was caused by terrorists. Yesterday's response from Egypt is that it will issue a full report,............soon.
A group of British MP's are also performing under the big top this week-end, they are doing a 'turn' one might say, being a huge trade mission, which includes B.P., B.G. and to obtain an allusive signature on a document for a $1 Billion deal agreed at Farnbough with Egyptair. The Egyptian press seem to think they are there to also inspect various airports. I suspect this has already been secretly carried out, and results already written up, on a desk in Whitehall.
Finally, but most importantly, as from tomorrow (Saturday), the I.M.F. will grace the ground of this great circus ring, to perform what is expected to be a two week sell out show, even though their star performer Madam Lagarde, will not be in attendance. (Apparently, she's got a few legal problems of her own to sort out in Paris,.......but let's not go there.) Anyhow, the I.M.F intend to do a fantastic juggling act, but unfortunately it has become commonplace in recent years for the Egyptians to send in the clowns to the annoyance of these fantastic tricksters. I have heard that this time a 'rabbit' is going to be pulled out of the 'hat', in the form of one, Mr Hisham Geneina. If this is to be so, then the whole of the entire I.M.F. team could be leaving Egypt before anyone can say,.......'how's about that, then'.
P.S. - Who knows, being their star performer will not be there, the show may be over before it even begins.
