Nobody can deny that Egypt has seen disaster after disaster since 2011. Yes, the environment under the Mubarak regime was oppressive, and people were stripped of their basic civil liberties. But even so, there was no societal instability. The Muslim Brotherhood was banished, the streets were safe, the economy was going. Ever since the 2011 revolution, Egypt has been lost, struggling to find it’s way back to peace. Just like any other tragedy that strikes, Egypt was left devastated without a leader, without a stable frame, and without direction. What was left for Egypt so? We were left with anger, aggression, religious fanatics, and violence.
Countries across the world are watching as each of the Arab countries try their shot with “democracy.” We have been in a revolution since 2011, and, in my opinion, we are not progressing at all. Yes, I understand changing a whole country takes time, years, years and years. In the past 3 years however, we are in the exact same state, if not worse, than where we started.
The foreign spokesman for the United States claimed that Egypt used American military aid to suppress the demonstrators. Once again, the United States wants portray the same tone it had used for Iraq, Syria and Libya. The United States wants to destroy the Egyptian army, or at least that’s what it seems like. In my opinion, America is acting in such a way that makes me feel as though they doesn’t want any strong army presence in the Middle East.
Everyday the situation becomes clear that the plan is to evacuate the Middle East from Christians. in 2003 and also after eleventh of September 2001, the ex-president George Bush delcared war against Iraq and said that this war will be the key to democracy in the Middle East. And at this time, I wrote many articles against the war in Iraq, where I witnessed many writers supporting this war.
Everyday the Muslim Brotherhood commits a lot of crimes. While I was thinking about all of these crimes I wanted to ask them this question, "Are you against Sisi, or against Egypt? Do you want to destroy Egypt or destroy Sisi?"
Anyone who has common sense can’t help but condemn what’s happening in Gaza right now. Especially seeing the kids being killed everyday without any reason, but the question is, who’s responsible for this war? Hamas has gotten used to launching rockets on Israel and Israel has the right to defend itself.
The latest decision from the Government, raising the gas prices, is a very sensitive decision, especially for the poor classes in the Egyptian community which are the majority. But at the same time we can not deny that a lot of rich people were using gas paying very low prices and were benefitting from the subsidiary system more than poor.
It is very well known that the Copts have spread themselves out over the years. Many have immigrated to Canada, US, Australia, Europe etc… The Coptic people have attempted at creating a better life for themselves in the midst of an unfair living situation. Some intentionally moved away despite not knowing any other language than Arabic so that they could build a better life for their children.
Muslims Brotherhood is continuing to demonstrate and clash with Egyptian and with the security. Everyday we can read or watch someone has been killed because of this demonstrations. Everyday the scene become clear to all Egyptian that the Muslims Brotherhood wanted to be in power not to be responsible.
Egypt has great potential but needs a lot of work that what I can describe briefly the status of Egypt and Egyptian people. When you get the chance to visit or see different community you might be frustrated of the Egyptian situation Especially in the Education. Education in Egypt is a matter of life or death. Without starting with fixing the education, I believe nothing will change. Any country has a plan and rules. Rules you should keep to practice your education, you can’t practice without keep learning.
We are now celebrating our newly elected President, Sisi. As Egyptians, this is a time which represents progress, and a step in the right direction. We have face troubles since the time of Mubarak, to Morsi. This is really is our time to move forward as a country, as a democratic country.
By chance while I was in the metro I met a christian man who is originally from Minia, from the village that Mulsim Brotherhood burned their churches and their homes. The man called Samy, he has been forced to leave his village because of the threats. His home burned and all his properties destroyed. He moved now and all his relative to “ Ezzbet AL Nakhl”.
During the presidential election specifically after the first day of the election and once the leader of the salafists found the voting was few, they started to accuse Sisi that he is close to the ex NDB memeber and that’s why the voting was weak in the first day.
Time and time again I hear the familiar phrase, "let's boycott the upcoming election." Or, "let's send a message by not participating." We have a couple of problems with this way of thinking. Let's go back to the January 25th revolution. Thousands, maybe perhaps millions, of people gathered on the streets to get what they want. They worked together for a greater cause, and succeeded in their many missions. So the problem, I feel, is when it comes time to make progress and decide on important steps the Egyptian people almost become children in their stubborn-like manor.
In the coming few days the Egyptian expats will elect the new president, which will be the most important election for Egypt. It’s important because Egyptians need stability. It’s important because Egyptians are seeking security after three years of being tired and in fear. It’s important because the West and the Muslim Brotherhood are waiting for Egypt to fail.
In the time that every person and media outlet are busy following the news of the upcoming presidential election or following the violence of the terrorist group, the Muslim Brotherhood, I can see that media covers all subjects and yet neglects what the Copts are suffering from even until this moment.
Any one has dreams in his life and seek to achieve these dreams year by year and that what not apply for Egyptian. Some of them lose their life searching to immigrate and wait years and years seeking to immigrate until they lose their age searching for illusion called western life.
Lately, all we've been hearing about are the murders, the violence, and the destruction of the civilization in Egypt. Families are struggling to remain optimistic in a country they will never let go of or give up on, which in my opinion, is completely mistaken. Although that may not make sense, I would like to discuss the impact the current events, and current outlooks have for our future. If you were to ask any Egyptian, "Which country is the best in the world?" everyone would answer, "Egypt." This answer can be explained for 1 of 2 reasons. The first reason being, they are unbelievably wealthy, who have servants to work for them night and day. The second being, they are too proud and deluded to recognize the truth.
It seems as though, Sabahi, a hopeful candidate for the presidential election, is trying to repeat the same agenda and use the same tone as the ex-president Abd Al Naser. I agree that Sabahi and many other candidates should run for the presidential election so we can have a fair and democratic election, but candidates have to have new trends and new thoughts.
Everyday we see blood. One time from the police, another time from the Muslim Brotherhood, and the question we should ask ourselves is: how long will continue to see blood on the streets without finding a way or solution to stop this? All political powers have attacked Dr. Hassan Nafaa the activist, when he announced an initiative attempt at a reconciliation between the Muslim Brotherhood and the rest of the society. I could understand the people's objection to this initiative, but at the same time, if you object something, you should suggest something as an alternative.
In the time we are close to the presidential election all political power call for fair election and that need the media to be fair with all candidates, the governmental TV should deal with all candidates without being biased to one on another. Fair election shouldn’t neglect the importance of the transparency in spending the money during the campaign, without this transparency the election process will turn to be an acting process, we have to put into our consideration that the whole world will supervise the presidential election as the main step to go forward in the road map.
