Kayan Tamer Ahmed: In Madame Afaf

Every employee has a favorite tool of torture to flay the Egyptian citizen and incapacitate him.. Among them: We missed a reel.. The system is real.. The seal is not clear.. The safe is closed.. But the most powerful of these methods, violent and the most effective, is “At Madame Afaf,” which stands like a high dam or Like sumo warriors in front of any citizen who is begging himself to make any request or service from the government.. In this book are three satirical stories of citizens who were tortured by routine and bureaucracy and Madame Afaf.. While the stories seem fictional, they are - surprisingly - taken from true stories one hundred percent.
