Talking about Journalists and their struggle for their freedom of expression in this country since 1952 is a long bloody one , already I am honoured to be familiar with it and without going in too much details ,I say that things in Egypt now can be much worse , remember the 1960s , Nasser's bloody era , thank God for the existence of information technology that made the whole world a small village .
At least we can speak , back then people were afraid to speak in their homes , my grand mom ,mother and aunt remember very well how my late grand dad would n't like to speak in politics in home ,especially we had members who were consider at that time anti-regime people , my aunt swears that she once saw him searching under the dinning table to find if there was any bugs were here and there and some one were listening to their conversations , and many of these wonderful stories
At least Journalists can protest , can write even for once and then be sent to jail, back then in the 1960s ,there was a censor in every newspapers !!
Yet Back then as I hinted above there were n't this great information technology , in fact I believe if this information technology had existed back then Egyptians would n't have suffer .
Another thing now in most opposition newspapers comparisons are usually made between the different eras of presidency , the three only eras if we omit the Mohamed Naguib era as It was very short only from 1952 to 1954 unfortunately ,the era of Nasser, the era of Sadaat and the current era of Mubarak , all people we say that Mubarak's era is worst then both Nasser and Sadaat.
Well I disagree with them , Mubarak is worst then Nasser and Sadaat in some aspects, not all aspect ,Mubarak's era is worst in the economic ,social and political then Sadaat's, while it is worst then Nasser's in the aspects of economy , Society and Partially Politically . At least we got some few newspapers and Journalists like Ibrahim Eissa who dare to attack the president , while back then you can n't even hint to him ,except by using a highly sophisticated decoded language "those who understand it will understand it only .
People got this feeling and forget the real cons of the Nasser era because of the long time of Mubarak's era , exactly 24 years , next 6th October 2006 it will be the 25th year, so long time plus divested economy and corrupted society with tough security all these factors make us as Egyptians in my point of view to see Mubarak's era as the worst
People tend to forget !!
