Sinai is the land of Dignity and Glory, Allah (swt) has distinguished it by mentioning it in the noble Qur'an in a highly esteemed and venerable status, it was mentioned as the tree that grows there:

((شَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ طُورِ سَيْنَاءَ تَنْبُتُ بِالدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍ لِلْآكِلِينَ))

"And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food for those who eat" [Al-Mu'minun: 20]

Sinai of Glory, where the war of dignity and glory took place on its soil, the Ummah were very close to liberating Al-Aqsa and the Blessed Land (Palestine) from the filth of the Jews if it wasn't for the betrayal of some who sold their Deen from the leaders and elites!

Sinai of Glory terrorises the Jewish army night and day; it is feared by its enemies in Tel Aviv to Washington, the hateful colonialist towards Islam and Muslims. This is Sinai of Glory that frightens every Kaffir colonialist and all their agents.

Sinai of Glory, today is a battlefield, the armies are mobilised there not to fight the Jewish Entity, but instead for the fighting of Muslims among themselves. A top military source stated: "That the Egyptian Interior Minister confirmed to the Director General of the Multinational Force and Observers, David Satterfield, that Egypt is thinking of increasing its military forces in the coming period in the region (B/G), and the middle and North Sinai region, pointing out that the security collaboration between Egypt and Israel, and the Peace Keeping Forces will continue to stop the Terrorist Operation" [Arab Media network, 11/6/2014]

In addition, the military and intelligence talks, the official and unofficial ones are continuing for months... and they aim for the military and intelligence co-ordination with the Jewish Entity to guard its security. Tel Aviv used to demand from Cairo to solve the security situation in Sinai completely and to eliminate all those who harm the Jewish entity. The Chief of General Staff in the Jewish Army, Benny Gantz, said, "That the situation in Sinai is dangerous and that the security file needs to be fully resolved", and this is what took place! While the Military Booklet of the 1979 Treaty puts severe restrictions on the number of soldiers and the type of weapons that Egypt is allowed to deploy in Sinai, in addition, it identifies the areas of deployment. It has prohibited Cairo from concentrating its forces in the areas (B/G) except for the border guards. But since last year, the Egyptian military presence has increased to one thousand soldiers!

These accelerated military movements came as a result of a series of calm bilateral agreements that were negotiated, and were sponsored by the Multinational Force which is led by the American diplomat, David Satterfield, which was not announced on a wider scale, the Jewish Entity accepted to allow the Egyptian troops into the restricted areas in the middle and east of Sinai, this is what took place. Cairo has regularly deployed Apache helicopters and armored carriers and stun battalions in the two regions (B/G), and it carries out survey missions with F-16 aircraft. [The Washington Institute for the Near East Policy 17/1/2014 CE]... Of course, these forces allowed by the Jewish state did not intervene to fight the Jews, but for Muslims fighting amongst themselves! Since security coordination with the Jewish entity is distinctively continuous.

An Israeli military source said, "The level of coordination between the security agencies of the two countries is excellent" [Yediot Aharonot 20/05/2013 CE].

The United States is concerned in maintaining the security of the Jewish entity from the strikes of the loyal Mujahideen... It is clear from the meetings held by American envoys to Egypt, and their statements to promote the common interests as stated in the statement by Obama, who expressed his delight to Sisi due to Egypt's commitment to the promotion of common interests [Reuters,11/06/2014]. It is known that on top of the list of the common interests of America in the region is to preserve the security of the Jewish entity!

O Muslims, the people of Egypt al-Kinanah:

This Blessed Revolution that overthrew Mubarak's regime, the protector of the Jews, should not stop until the treaty of disgrace and betrayal Camp David is uprooted, so that actual war situation returns with the usurping Jewish entity, and so that the heroes of Egypt the Kinanah will make them forget the Devil's whispers. So stomp your feet on every sinful treaty with the Jewish entity, like Camp David and its allies, and establish the Shariah of Allah (swt) by establishing the state of Obligation and Shari', the Khilafah "Caliphate" Ar-Rashidah; so that you transform your situation from weakness to strength and from humiliation to glory, and from poverty and hardship to wellbeing and luxury:

((وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُرَى آمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَرَكَاتٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ))

"And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth..." [Al-A'raf: 96]

By the Khilafah "Caliphate" alone, your army will be in jihad on the fierce battlefield against the Jews, not against our people in Sinai and Rafah at the border!

O Sincere Soldiers in the Army of Egypt al-Kinanah:

Do not allow America and its agents to take you to Hellfire, the worst fate. Following in their trail will only leave you in turmoil and you lose your courage and strength, so take heed in the words of Allah (swt):

((وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا))

"But whoever kills a believer intentionally - his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment" [An-Nisa': 93]

And take the advice from the saying of your Prophet the Truthful and Trustworthy (saw):

»إذا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ في النَّارِ«

"If two believers met to fight each other, each holding his sword, the killer and the killed will be in hellfire." (Narrated by al-Bukhari)

So be warned not to be involved in shedding each other's blood. Instead of your guns aimed at your enemy, the Jewish entity, they are aimed at your chests under the misleading pretext of the war on "terrorists"! Be with the sincere Mujahideen united against the Jews, fight them, may Allah punish them by your hands and humiliate them; and make you victorious over them to delight the hearts of the believers.

O Sincere Soldiers in the Army of Egypt al-Kinanah:

Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah of Egypt calls out to you to reach every sincere believing soldier; calling you to abandon this regime which used you to serve your enemy, the Jewish entity for many decades! Don't you yearn for Jihad in the way of Allah? Don't you yearn for the liberation of Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews? Are you not the heroes of the ports and borders?

How amazing is the Jihad and the pledge to a Khalifah upon the Book of Allah (swt) and the Sunnah of His Prophet (saw), who will lead the masses of armies marching towards the liberation of Al-Aqsa the place of Isra', how amazing is the Khilafah "Caliphate", by it you will regain your Aqsa, glory, and victory. And by it your blood will not be shed in vain.

((ويَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ  بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ))

"And that day the believers will rejoice. In the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills..." [Ar-Rum: 4-5]

News:

The Citizen paper dated 11/06/2014, reported at least half of graduates produced by East African universities lack employability skills, technical mastery and basic work-related capabilities, a new survey shows.

According to the Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA), the situation simply confirms the concerns among employers that most graduates are not fully prepared for the job market.

The study shows that Uganda has the worst record of 63 per cent of graduates found to lack job market skills followed closely by Tanzania where 61 per cent of graduates are ill-prepared.

While Burundi and Rwanda, 55 per cent and 52 per cent of graduates respectively are perceived to be incompetent. Also Kenya, 51 per cent of graduates are believed to be unfit for jobs.

Comment:

The dire condition of producing half-skilled graduates is highly contributed to a number of factors:

Firstly, under the current system via capitalism democracy, education is solely deemed as the only primary source of living. This fallacy, is behind compelling many students & parents from primary to secondary level, to meddle in various acts of dishonest including cheating in exams, which to some extent is done in collaboration with the teachers & or with education officials.

Acts of cheating in exams, in an endeavor to secure fake education certificates to enable the students to proceed to higher levels of education have almost become a norm of the day.
Unfortunately, when the same students get to universities, on top of having gone there with dearth of basic skills, they encounter teachers who are influenced by the criterion of benefit in undertaking actions. These teachers, are always willing to take bribe as to procure fake qualification to the students.

Consequently, students tend to graduate half skilled rendering them unfit for the job market.
In short, since capitalism democracy has fallaciously turned education as a commodity, just like any other commodity, depicting education as the solely means of a earning a living on top of the criterion of benefit in undertaking actions, in that situation, its not expected to produce skilled graduates.

Without mentioning that the education system, just like other systems is hovered by bribery and unskilled teachers who eventually involve themselves in other activities to cater for their basic needs.

Under the shade of the Islamic State, Khilafah "Caliphate" education is not considered as a commodity; and the criterion of undertaking actions is HALAL and HARAM (licit and elicit) will be given first priority in all undertakings.

With acts of dishonest and cheating being contained and severe punishment being meted out to the culprits.
