Egypt wind of change has revered direction
Egypt wind of change has reversed direction
When I started this blog back in October of last year, I was optimistic that changes are on the way, but everyday now I realize that we are drifting away from any meaningful change for a better Egypt. Instead, change is taking an ugly turn to the worse with more and more people getting arrested for expressing their mind and anyone who dare to challenge the president or his son is sent behind bars (like in Ayman Nour’s case). Mubarak is preparing to transition his power to his son Gamal, everybody knows it and nobody has the gut to stop it especially after what they have seen happen to Ayman Nour.
In the meantime Egypt is drifting into chaos and it is boiling because of numerous problems such as bird flu, terrorist attacks, the judicial revolt, financial wows, and unprecedented high level corruption. All basic services are constantly declining such as health care and education.
As an Egyptian observer who lives in the USA, I feel that Egypt is hitting a new record rock bottom everyday. This was reinforced over the weekend when the security forces arrested a fellow blogger Alaa
The only ray of hope is that things wont last long like that, SOMETHING will happen soon to relief the pressure. This SOMETHING will be unpredictable and uncontrollable and may have devastating impacts that can last for a long time. As Lin Yutang once said “ Peace of mind is that mental condition in which you accepted the worst”
In the meantime I will keep observing, blogging and expressing my views without fear as it is my God given right, hoping that someone, someday will peacefully change Egypt for the better.
