Interview, possible source?[edit]

This is an interview from 2010 with Essam Sharaf, but it's in Arabic and I don't speak Arabic. Someone who does might be able to get something useful from it: د. عصام شرف: مصر تفتتت لأوطان صغيرة.. وكل وطن له جيشه ومريدوه ومقاتلوه Eniagrom (talk) 15:25, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Railway accident[edit]

So Al-Jazeera says that he resigned at the end of 2005 after a railway accident, which is referred to in several places as the Qalyoub rail accident. The only problem obviously is that this accident happened in August 2006, so he would have had to have been psychic to resign because of that. I think what's more likely is that there's some translation confusion going on: he tried to have some projects green-lighted while Minister which the government refused to enact or enacted shoddily, and he resigned; later the Qalyoub accident happened, which he attributed to the regime's unwillingness to enact his policies. But I don't read Arabic, and Google translate doesn't do a terribly good job with non-European languages, so this is just sort of what I'm gleaning ... perhaps someone else can find a source?

This article, which I think would make a good general reference for the article: Meet Essam Sharaf: Egypt's first post-revolution Prime Minister says:

In 2004, Sharaf was appointed minister of transport, but resigned his post in 2006 due to the high level of corruption he witnessed inside the ministry. In 2007, Sharaf, along with his friends Zuwil and Baz, established the Science Era Association.

No mention of the railway accident Al-Jazeera mentioned. I'm taking out the railway accident verbiage for now on the grounds that it's starting to seem doubtful. If anyone can source it more accurately please put it back, thanks! Eniagrom (talk) 16:08, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For those who can read Arabic or want to google translate it, this is the reference for the Qalyoub claim used on ar: [1] Eniagrom (talk) 16:44, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As best I can tell, he must have been replaced in the government that was appointed on 31 December 2005. [2] Everyking (talk) 20:16, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so -- sources pretty unanimously state that he resigned. The question is why. One source ([3]) says
Although he refuses to comment specifically about why he resigned, it was reported in local media that he was unhappy with mismanagement and corruption under Mubarak.
On the other hand, it also says, right above that
But Sharaf is not without ties to Mubarak. He served as transport minister under Mubarak for just under two years, starting in mid- 2004, and resigned after a deadly train accident.
Not really sure what to believe. Eniagrom (talk) 20:32, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
He may have resigned in protest; I was just commenting on the timing. Since a different transport minister was appointed on 31 December 2005, we know Sharaf couldn't have still held that post in 2006. Everyking (talk) 20:37, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interview: He said: "I don't know why I was out of the Ministry"[edit]

There is an interview which he did for the famous talk show "Al Ashira Masa'an" with Mona el-Shazly, She said: "All the ex-ministers that I interviewed before never said the reason why they were out of the ministry when asked. But I'll ask the question anyway, why were you out?" He replied: "(laughing) As for all my colleagues, you will not get an answer from me. In fact, I don't know. But I can tell you that these were both the best and worst days in my life."

The full interview (in Arabic) is found on youtube The Interview. His answer was at 02:43.

This actually means that he didn't resign in protest as alleged.Blacktiger226 (talk) 07:55, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Given this it seems like it might be a good idea to remove the "resigned in protest" bit from the article altogether. Of course it's being so widely parroted by the media that well-meaning drive by editors will probably reinsert it, so perhaps the 'alleged' wording we have now is good enough, at least until things settle down.Eniagrom (talk) 08:35, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Born July 12, 1952?[edit]

This site claims he was born on July 12, 1952, but I'm not sure if it conforms to WP:RS ... it appears to be a forum of some kind. I can't find it corroborated on any other sites, either. But the link is auto-translated, and looking at the original Arabic (which I don't speak) I copied out the Arabic date (July 12, 1952) and his name and searched for those two, and the only other site I got was an FB page that seemed to be a verbatim copy of the zedany.com bit. So I'm not sure about the source. Still, for those of you that may be looking for his actual birth date, this is one possibility. Eniagrom (talk) 08:33, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Was he born in Egypt? Can we have his birth certificate? :-P --Gabi S. (talk) 16:07, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
