Dr Naguib (Nick) Kaldas, the holder of the highest political position for an Egyptian born in Australia, is one of the most prominent Egyptian immigrant personalities on the Australian continent who has achieved many successes and accomplishments during his work with the Australian police over a period of 35 years specializing in combating criminal activities with the aim of achieving justice.
Over the last ten years, Dr Kaldas was commissioned by the United Nations Anti-Corruption Service to head the anti -terrorism investigation team of the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik El-Hariri. He had a lead role in the reorganization of the Iraqi Police Force after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. Dr Kaldas led the United Nations task force in the investigation of the detection of chemical weapons in Syria from 2016 to 2018. He was recently appointed to lead the investigation into the killing of fifty-one people in a terrorist attack in New Zealand's mosques.

He also said that he is willing to offer his experience and services to the Egyptian authorities in many fields related to security, terrorism, corruption and other matters if requested to. Dr Kaldas also spoke about his most precious memories since his immigration to Australia in 1969 at the age of twelve with his family, the challenges of the new Australian life he faced and his success story. Dr. Kaldas stated that he is more than happy to extend a helping hand and assist all Egyptians and members of other communities who wish to join the police force, particularly the young people of the third and fourth generations.

Divine Elevations
By: Amal Awad Radwan-(Palestine)
Translated by: Fathia Asfour
Palestinian poet & tranlator
****************************
Divine Elevations
*The ghost of my tear mumbles
on a barren woman's breast....
rolls me in the moans of a cloud that sheds you in a pond,
wide open for remembrance
***
* Out of my death crypts ..
my pain flows ether of hopes...
and your snowy fires
get my shirts perfumed with your features...
those overfilled with rain
***
*Velvet ...is the pupil of your bitterness
Slender are the hurricanes of its dominion
How it drew me close to a fragment
of your subsistence
in the sessions of hungry ascetics !!
And how it drew me far away
through your divine elevations !!
***
* So why thrusting my fingertips...
those raining candles..
in the caves of dust and harshness?
***
* By the charm of your voice..
that which illuminates me!..
the bow of my loyalty strummed me
not but on hugging strings
How the breaths of its violin warbled as well !
***
O you , the daughter of the runnels!
Scoop me up an aromatic tale
looking for its face in your mirror !
Shear not the pearl of my pulsing...
For the rhythm of my rainclouds
had not gargled but in your heart ...
and the evenings of my luster
could not have been perfect
without your bright rainfall
تَحْلِيقَاتٌ سَمَاوِيَّةٌ! / آمال عوّاد رضوان
شَبَحُ دَمْعَتِي.. غَمْغَمَ عَلَى ثدْيِ عَاقِرٍ
مَرَّغَنِي.. بِزَفَرَاتِ غَيْمَةٍ تَذْرِفُكِ
فِي بِرْكَةٍ مُشَرَّعَةٍ لِلذِّكْرَى!
***
مِنْ سَرَادِيبِ مَمَاتِي انْسَابَ أَلَمِي
أَثِيرَ آمَالٍ
وَنِيرَانُكِ الثَّلْجِيَّةُ
تُعَطِّرُ قمْصَانِي
بِمَلاَمِحِكِ الْمُتْخَمَةِ بِالْمَطَرِ!
***
مُخْمَلِيٌّ بُؤْبُؤُ مُرِّكِ
مَمْشُوقَةٌ أَعَاصِيرُ سُلْطَانِهِ
كَمْ أَدْنَانِي مِنْ كِسْرَةِ كَفَافِكِ
فِي حَلَقَاتِ جَوْعَى
وَكَمْ أَقْصَانِي عَنْ رَقْصَةِ مَائِكِ
فِي تَحْلِيقَاتِكِ السَّمَاوِيَّة!
لِمَ أَدُسُّ أَنَامِلِي الْمَاطِرَةَ شُمُوعًا
فِي كُهُوفِ الْهَبَاءِ وَالْجَفَاءِ؟
***
وَحَقّ سِحْرِ صَوْتِكِ
الْـ يُضِيئُنِي!
أَنَا مَا عَزَفَنِي قَوْسُ وَفَائِي
إِلّا عَلَى أَوْتَارِ عِنَاقٍ
كَمْ صَدَحَتْ أَنْفَاسُ كَمَانِهِ كَمَان!
***
يَا ابْنَةَ السَّوَاقِي
اُغْرفِينِي حِكَايَةً عِطْرِيَّةً
تَبْحَثُ عَنْ وَجْهِهَا فِي مِرْآتِكِ
لاَ تَجُزّي لُؤْلُؤَ نَبْضِي
فَمَا تَغَرْغَرَ إِيقَاعُ مُزْنِي إِلّا بِقَلْبِكِ
وَمَا اكْتَمَلَتْ مَسَاءَاتُ بَرِيقِي
إِلاَّ بِهُطُولِكِ الْمُشْرِق!
