This could only happen here:
Two families in southern Egypt that captured and forcefully shaved
each others' leaders earlier in the year have agreed to end their
dispute, the Al Ahram daily reported on Friday.Over 7,000 citizens of Mahrusa, a town in the Qena province near Luxor,
gathered on Thursday to witness the heads of the Al-Arab and Fallaheen
families sign a final reconciliation pact.Back in July the families abducted each others' leaders and shaved off
their mustaches, beards, hair and eyebrows. In the region, a man's
mustache represents his honor.The dispute escalated into a series of violent clashes in which the families fought each other with sticks and clubs.
Fearing that the situation could further deteriorate, police and local
authorities intervened, calling on the sides to resolve their conflict.
God I love Egypt!
shaving off the moustaches, that’s quite unermining a male, isn’t it ?
undermining ment
What a way to get a free shave and haircut! What, they don’t have barbers in Egypt??
serious conflict
Old news babe…
“This could only happen here”.
Sorry to burst your bubble of exclusivity
, but this happens in rural North India too.
I am a supporter of the Fellaheen family in this dispute and I say this fight is not over! If they steal another one of our chickens, next time we will shave off their pubic hair!
This happens because they are poor and they have nothing else to give them worth other than their handle bar moustaches. In Cairo and any other place, people beat each other up over their mutsibishi lancers or whatever happens to give them worth. We’re all the same really.
