Living in Egypt - A desire for a change.

Hello, my name is Mohamed. A lot of you are probably wondering what Egypt is really like now. Here’s an advice from me to you: Please don’t always believe the media, especially when the source is from the Egyptian Media. All what we ask for is simple; we want all of our revolutionary goals to be fulfilled, and we peacefully demand it.

I decided to join the patriotic young men in Egypt who were and still are protesting. Yes, they were manly enough to take a stand against a 30-year-old totalitarian system, something our parents (as in Egyptian parents) NEVER thought of doing at their young age. Many people were killed because of the brutality system that the regime used against us.

Our country is our priority. It’s what makes our background in life; where we are from, what language do we speak, etc. The current situation in Egypt is a part 2 of the revolution that happened in January 2011. We have been tricked by the Military Council into thinking that the revolution ended when Dictator Mubarak announced his deposition from office. Yes, things have changed, but in a way we Egyptians call a “Half Revolution”. The idea that we changed only faces but not the system is our story now. History has proven that the harder we face the tighter we get closer. I finally understood how my country mattered to me when I saw it being abused by those pathetic totalitarians. People from everywhere around the world are born free!

My thoughts are that the Military Council should resign from leading the country in the transition period. Those young Egyptians that have been killed during the revolution have died for a reason. They died for their country and for their people to live. They put their lives on the line with pride, dignity, honor, and bravery. They did not fear the guns that were aiming at them, nor of getting tortured if caught by the raids. All they asked for was the best for their country. People in a rebellion have demands, and we demand that the Military Council steps down immediately. WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO ABUSE OUR COUNTRY AND TRICK US AGAIN. Our revolution is peaceful and will always stay peaceful. We will continue our struggle and fight against such aristocratic powers, because we want FREEDOM, CHANGE & JUSTICE, no matter what the cost. We believe we can achieve them peacefully, and we will never lose hope....
