“Hop Hop Hop … Up”, this is how “Ali Beh Mazhar”- a famous Egyptian movie character- promises people to make them rich in a very short time, as the famous movie narrates. The same scene is repeated in reality as well; endless promises, vows of near prosperity and project plans with a timeline that ranges from six months to a maximum of four years, this is what state and various government bodies’ officials always talk about.
