What happens now? What does this newfound freedom mean to Egyptians? Please do not get me wrong, I am in full support of the Egyptian Revolution. I am however concerned about what happens to the future of Egypt. Is it truly democratic freedom?
The country as it stands is free from a dictator but is under no democratic leadership to take forth this revolution. What will the next power-hungry Politian bring to the table? Will there be an overall improvement in the standard of living. Or will the new leadership follow in the tracks of many so-called “Democratic leaders” who are merely puppets of a secret reign. Naturally of course, the citizens of Egypt will need to adjust to the changes that await them, whatever that may be.
Stepping outside the borders of Egypt, what effect will this revolution have on the rest of the World? In December 2009, Cairo had promised the World entry into the Gaza Strip via the Rafa Border. The International Gaza Freedom March, supported by over 1360 peace activists from 43 different countries including our own Judge Sieraaj Desai, was surprisingly turned away from the border on December 29, 2009. First lady Suzanne Mubarak announced that only 100 activists were allowed into Gaza. Now looking forward, with the revolution in mind, will the borders into Gaza Palestine be opened? And what will the effect of this be?
We can only wait with baited breath as to what this revolution has planned for the world...
I think we are living in an amazing era where we are able to witness such revolutionary events. I too am waiting in anticipation to see what Egypt will do with it's new found freedom.
