  Egypt is aiming to vaccinate at least 70 percent of stray dogs against rabies as part of a broader shift toward a more scientific and regulated framework for managing the stray dog population, according to the General Authority for Veterinary Services. Speaking during a meeting of the House of Representatives’ Agriculture and Irrigation Committee on Wednesday, chaired by former minister El-Sayed El-Quseir, the authority’s head Dr. Hamed Moussa El-Aknes said the new approach will rely on modern tools to address the issue through population control, vaccination, and humane interventions. El-Aknes emphasized that stray dogs have a high reproduction rate, making rabies prevention and population management a public health priority that requires “scientific solutions based on population management and vaccination rather than old methods.” He added that the authority, in coordination with several ministries, is working to secure rabies vaccine doses and other necessary supplies to implement the plan in the coming period. He also clarified that the vaccination target of no less than 70 percent is intended to achieve a minimum level of disease control, noting that full herd immunity would require coverage of around 80 percent.

At first glance, Asad might seem like a historical action film set in nineteenth-century Egypt. But, as the film unfolds, it becomes something more immediate: a fictional story rooted in a historical backdrop, using that world to explore ideas of dignity, rebellion, and freedom within a system built on ownership and class hierarchy. Directed by Khairy Beshara and Mohamed Diab, the film follows Asad, an enslaved man played by Mohamed Ramadan whose life changes after he falls in love with Laila, a free woman portrayed by Razane Jammal.  Their relationship is forbidden because Asad is legally considered property and it would bring shame to the family if a free person married a slave. When the two secretly marry and Laila becomes pregnant, a chain of events is set in motion that transforms a personal love story into a broader struggle for freedom. The film is set during a period when slavery was still deeply embedded in Egyptian society. Throughout much of the nineteenth century, enslaved people were bought and sold across Egypt and the wider region, working in households, agriculture, and other sectors of society. While slavery is often overlookedContinue reading "Asad: A Powerful Epic of Freedom, Love, and Resistance"
