I had writers block today. Then suddenly, it all clicked. I believe you are familiar with Hosni Mubarak? Former president of Egypt. A real jerk if you ask me. I'm not too happy about the current president either, or the brain washing government and media. Let's just get back to Mubarak. In 2011, The Egyptian Revolution was all over the news. Many people joined the protests here in Canada. My family went to protest. I had made quite a few posters. Here's one of them. It says "Thousands of people V.S. 1 Hosni Mubarak"
It was pretty clear all the Egyptians saw him as a horrible president back then. When the revolution ended and Mubarak decided to resign, we were happy. More than happy. We knew we had succeeded. The Egyptians joined as one against Mubarak. What happened? Now they're all fighting over what's right and what's wrong that they forgot how they had protected each other back in 2011. Mubarak was sent to jail. Then we got a new president. He didn't do much to us. He was forced to resign and we got another president. This guy, El-Sisi, wants everyone to love him. He's literally obsessed with money. He makes tv channels praise him and if they even say 1 thing that bothers him, that tv channel would be like it never existed. As our friends in the U.K would probably say...
Gotta agree with them. El-Sisi is making opinions illegal. Even worse, the Egyptians seem to have forgotten all the pain they went through to get rid of Mubarak because at his trial, he was declared innocent.
If I remember correctly, he was the one who threw the tear gas at the protesters, right? He was the one who ordered people to kill the protesters, right? That doesn't seem like innocent to me. Innocent is someone who would never kill someone else for money or take things that aren't rightfully theirs.
Let me just remind you. Doesn't the government of Egypt still lock up and torture the people who disagree with the president? Looks like the government isn't too innocent either.
I just hate Mubarak so much. He helped create this mess. Or was it already there in the first place? I guess I'll never know. As a daughter, I would beat up anyone who makes my mother cry. How am I going to get to the Egyptian government? Egypt deserves JUSTICE. We have to do something about this. Some people are getting divorced because their spouse has different political views. Stupid? I think so, too. I wish things were different. I wish things were fair.
