It's every man for himself when you are in Egypt. Many people start to form their own little groups just so they could be backed up. I have seen some fights all around Egypt that were really disturbing and left me scarred. I have always wondered why the police doesn't usually do anything. The answer is that they are usually among the spectators who are rooting for either side. Then of course if the situation becomes life threatening that's when they will make the smallest effort to attempt to stop the fight.
They don't mess around in Egypt when it comes to fighting. Even if it comes down to killing the person who cracked your younger brother's skull; they'll do it. Many of the low life youth over there do not operate without some sort of weapon, whether it maybe a pocket knife, a razor, and sometimes unlicensed gun. This form of protection ensures the individual that if anyone tries and makes a problem, they have their second guy (which is the weapon) around to back them up. And you'll find that they are extremely skilled with the use of their weapon. Within a split second you'll instantly find the pocket knife drawn and aimed at you and there's absolutely no other way out of it is to fight them. You'll suffer some serious injuries, but you deserve it for getting yourself caught in the mix. Actually, it's not always your fault. Sometimes people there just think fighting will solve anything. A few examples of initiating fight starters include cussing out someone, giving them a bad look, looking at someone's wife, car crashes (which are the worst), and much more.
Car crash fights can get serious. The reason I say that is because the drivers always think they are right. Even if they're both wrong, they will find a way to be proven right and if there's no way, then a fight is inevitable. Also, many shop owners always carry some sort of weapon with them. One of my friends this past summer was bearing a small sword that had the potential of slaughtering someone. He said he's had it for a very long time. Probably since the revolution. He says it can come into good use, although I don't think he's ever had to take it out.
One fight I witnessed this year involved two bus drivers. I don't know what really started this fight because I was in the lane opposite them, however I did see that there were swords waving in the air and blood was pouring from multiple people. They also were holding up the traffic so bad that in the lane where the fight was taking place, the traffic was backed up for a very long time. I was wondering what these people were thinking; what could be the hold up this time. Little did they know that there was a ferocious battle taking place a few hundred feet in front of them.
