I know many don't like year 2005 but despite on the personal level it was tough on me as I realized that death can reach to my family very easily yet on the general level it was excellent one
Why?
Well for the first time, this summer 2005 the Egyptian people woke up from very long sleep to take back their freedom, to be more accurate the majority of Egyptian people is still satisfied with the Silent Spectator role till now, yet the minority refused this role and began to turn their faith in to crusade example of this respectable minority who entered the book Of Egyptian history includes the Kafya Movement, Noha El-Zeny and Ayman Nour despite all the argument about the later 's personality ,yet these people and others from young men and women who went out in riots against the regime just like our mayor Alaa in Egyptian bloggers town. This minority is the spokesperson of the silent majority. People it is enough when in the presidential elections at the time of the campaign, people were calling in live program in Al-Jazeera and Dream TV attacking the NDP and the president, there is change and we must admit that it happened in 2005.
Yes there was a sorrowful event like the clashes between the Muslim and Christians and the Coptic convention and the Sudanese refugees and the peasants in Delta...Etc, but we shouldn't be pessimistic
In 2006 there is a big challenge for us as Egyptian People majority and minority, the winds of change are coming faster and faster to our Egyptian territories and if the Syrian regime falls down we will be next, yet I don't advice those are optimistic by the change not to be so happy as the Syrian regime won't fall down because of the world suddenly woke after 30 years of Syrian people agony, it will go down because it is danger on the Hebrew state, just like us. The Challenge is that we must liberate ourselves from our fear and make the change we need, an inside radical change to enforce our borders and make strong walls from any wind that wants to blows to protect the Hebrew state.
The Spectators should become actors in the play of their nation in 2006
By the way sometimes I feel I am half spectator and half actor ,by writing down in this blog ,in expressing my ideas about my country ,see somehow I am anonymous but it is better than nothing …..
Zeinobia,
ReplyDeleteDo not worry about being anonymous. I actually think this prove that you only write because you care about your country and not because you want fame a glory :)
On the other hand, we all know how freedom of speech is not complete in Egypt yet. You should remember what happened to the journalist who beaten and left with no cloth for daring to speak bad about the "big people", it was AbdelHalim Kandil, right?
So ... until it is really safe to speak your mind, I think you are being more effective/daring/etc by writing under Zeinobia.
Every time I read your blog, it reminds me of "May" who used to host a forum in the old days. Keep the good work!
@Egyptian in USA, yes it was Abdel Halim Kandil
ReplyDeleteand thanks very much for your nice words about me, it really gives me courage to complete my hamble work
