EGYPTS EVOLUTION

EGYPT'S REVOLUTION/EVOLUTION

This editorial talks about slow changes in Egypt that according the editor looks promising. The editorial is too optimistic for my taste. Now let’s step back and talk about realty not wishful thinking. The bottom line is that there is no democracy in Egypt, opposition leaders are in jail, corruption is everywhere, there is no freedom of speech, there are thousands of political prisoners, the government is meddling in the affairs of all parties, judges and syndicates, the president son is being prepped to take over once the old man goes away. Not to mention poor healthcare, education, and horrible traffic conditions as well as  poverty, and very high unemployment rate. Over all it is a desperate and gloomy picture, while salvation is not anywhere close.

I’m sorry, but I don’t share the optimism. This rosy picture is not real. Realty is dark, sad and completely opposite to what the editor thinks.

Changes that come very slow don’t do us any good, because life quality is deteriorating at a much faster pace. When the patient is dying, a slow acting drug is not an option, you need to operate quickly to save his life.
