I didn't have the time to write here like since a very long time. everyone knows what happened in Egypt, and luckily I witnessed all the hot running appraising in the country. Starting from the 25th of January protests against the police and interior minister, then bloody 28th and the resignation of the cabinet, the appointment of a vice president for the first time in 30 yrs, up to the downfall of Mubrak in the 11th of February, and the after affects.
On the 19th of March Egyptians for the first time in our modern history, people was given the chance to vote for constitutional amendments, hence witness democracy. Although many called this constitutional amendments to be called off, due to fear from the remains of Mubarak's party would have a chance to get back in power, especially that if the amendments would be accepted by the public, after 60 days parliamentary elections will be held. So there won't be enough time for the opposition, who was suppressed for 30 yrs to be known to the majority of the population. There was a general agreement that the amendments should be refused. And instead of just amending a few points. A new constitution should be made. What really shocked me was the result of the poll, which was 77% said "yes" on the amendments and 22% only said "No". It was not much shocking to me especially that the "Muslim brotherhood" and other Islamic movements asked the people to vote "yes" Especially that, it's well known for the "BH" a long old dream of an "Islamic Egypt". What made it more shocking the former ruling party called the people to say "yes" too. Leaving various questions on possible link between the "BH" and the National Democratic party (NDP) especially that it's not the first time those two would make up a hidden political deal. This was very well shown in the parliamentary elections back in 2005. So threatening the revolution and destroying all what was done.
All would agree, what happened on the 19th of March was not against people's will. Everyone was free to cast their votes. But what really irritated me was the religious influence on peoples minds, especially that the BH used religious slogans to affect peoples opinions. But not only the BH, The Coptic Christian church asked their people to go to vote "No" in a way to break any hope for the "BH" to reach power. So there was Muslims voting with "yes" and Christians voting for "No" with a very few voting for a non religious opinion. this lead to 77% saying yes, and 22% saying no. The Egyptian community still have a lot to learn about democracy, with religious clerics still interfering in peoples opinions, this country won't get a step forward in the road of democracy. And I won't blame them, like according to the official censuses, something like 28% are illiterate, not mentioning, the political illiteracy among the literate population too! what we have here is issues been created and maintained for 30 yrs. This is how you rule someone for 30 years. You take away all their rights by taking away their brains!!
