The Revolution Timeline

For the past two centuries the people of Egypt have lived under the

dictatorship of two regimes, ever since 1950 the regime has

remained under the power of President Hosni Mubarak during which

Egyptian people have been forced to live amongst religious, social

and public repression. The Egyptian people seem to be sidelined as a

result of Islamic terrorist groups which have been swept across the

Arab world. Islamic terrorist groups have been identified by Time

Magazineas being Mubaraks scapegoat in his rule of a security state

dictatorship which has been in favor by government supporters on

land and beyond the western shores of Egypt.

On the 25th of January Cairo, Alexandria and surrounding cities

where filled with two generations of men and women in government

opposition, all attempting to shape the destiny and fate of their

country. According to Time magazine the uprising in Tunisia was

the spark that lit this fuse. These historical events represent the

very forefront of human capacity of fighting for freedom against all

odds. But what comes next in the story for the brave citizens of

Egypt? Citizens with no freedom of speech, who defied and displaced

a dictator, stood and fought with the armed forces who where both

overpowered and passively respected, whereby the freedom of

public protest against the current ruling regime was allowed after

many lives of sacrifice. What lies ahead for Egypt?

According to Channel four news clashes between groups

supporting and opposing government have now taken hold. But no

matter what happens it will not affect the historical changes that

have taken place in Egypts opposition towards a dictatorship. The

power of the people has been restored in the minds of the people as

a chance for change; this has provided an example for the world.

The Arab world has not been stagnant nor asapathetic as is claimed. The current eventsare larger in scale but its organizers andleaders have been active and involved for atleast 10 years now.

The tyrant exists only in the imagination ofhis subjects: the master resides only in theperception of the slave. Attempts at defiancehave been abundant in recent history of theArabs, many of them in Palestine, bit unlikethose, the Tunisian and Egyptian examplewas successful: it widened peoplesmagination, changed their perception,ncreased their self confidence and showedthem how fragile their tyrants are.

The entire Arab world has their eyes set on Egypts re-electionsthis September. According to Mohamed ElBaradei (Nobel peaceprize winner) free and fair presidential elections will need tobe overseen by a parliamentary council including arepresentative council to overseas the new constitution. But isthe divide of public representation within a democratic statepossible amongst such strong traditional and religious values.Last year Pew Research conducted a study on Egyptian views:82% of Egyptians supported stoning as a punishment foradultery, 84% favor the death penalty for Muslims who leavethe religion, 59% identify themselves with fundamentalism. Noweven though this data could be flawed, these are just a coupleof deep routed issues that will make the challenge fordemocratic freedom and fairness a big challenge for theEgyptian people to face. This will be the concerns for Mubaraks

supporters, modernization of traditional doctrine is alreadybeing altered and is not being well received.

In the light of the revolutionary modernizers and thetraditional opposition, within a democratic society humanrights including freedom and fairness will need to takepresident over traditional doctrine of religion and tradition,this is if Democracy is being sought. The Egyptiantraditionalists should embrace the movement for a democraticstate as a new beginning in which all Arab people can changethe face of Islamic religion and traditions which can be freelychosen and followed by choice not be fear, faith celebratedand not incarcerated. In regards to the parliamentary council,it should be based on district representation which can decidethe future of Egypt as a collective council for the newconstitutions that will rebuild the pyramids of Egyptian

society.
