Egyptian X-File Reopened : Reda Halal

Reda Halal , an Egyptian journalist whose sudden disappearance has been a long time enigma in the Egyptian media.
I wrote about Reda Halal in 2009 when his brother MR. Osama Halal came to media and spoke about that anonymous prisons department officer and told him that his brother was still alive yet imprisoned at solitary confinement at the Borg Al Arab prison. I wondered why Halal disappeared originally from seven and half years then and I mentioned all the possible theories that were popular about his disappearance. Now after the revolution and the partial fall of the Mubarak’s regime we know that his disappearance has nothing to do with all theories.

The disappearance of Reda Halal seems to be related to Gamal Mubarak after all. In a surprising move that I would not have imagined it in my wildest dream Al Ahram newspaper published in its “Shabab Al Tahrir” supplement a small yet very important report about Reda Halal yesterday. The report hints that Gamal Mubarak can be behind the disappearance of Halal and his illegal imprisonment.
According to the newspaper the deputy editor in chief of the popular newspaper seemed to be opposing to the succession project and he once mocked Gamal Mubarak at the newspaper’s desk saying “Who is that Gamal to rule us !!?”
Of course this is not enough reason for Gamal Mubarak to put him in jail but another unnamed journalist the newspaper described only as close to security apparatus said that Halal once told him that he owned the medical records of Gamal Mubarak. According to that unnamed journalist Reda Halal disappeared after two days from that conversation.
From time to time I read small hints that Gamal Mubarak unlike his brother suffered from some type of depression especially during his mother’s sickness.It is well known that Suzanne Mubarak is a cancer survivor and she was saved by him when he was found as match to her. Already I do not understand why they kept this as a secret.
Anyhow it seems Gamal Mubarak and his men who began to rise at this time very alarmed with what Halal claimed and thus they went to get rid of him. Of course some will say why Gamal and his men did not kill Reda Halal and get the file as easy as that and I will tell that we do not know how those sick men think !!
If anyone have any info about Gamal Mubarak’s health file or any info about his mental condition , please share it.
I truly apologize for what I assumed that he is involved in some espionage case, I have never thought that he would be disappeared and sent to jail to stay there for this time because of Gamal Mubarak.
MR.Osama Halal accused Hosni Mubarak and Habib Al Adly of imprisoning his brother all that years on air on On TV’s Menshat , he also revealed that he got new info that his brother is believed to be currently at Tora farm prison.
This is the first Egyptian X-file to be reopened so fast after the fall of Hosni and Gamal Mubarak , hopefully it will be closed by the return of Halal alive from prison and suing all those have been responsible for his jail all those years including Gamal Mubarak himself.
