Egypt

Maybe the most important moment of Egypt in this last 5 years was their revolution on January 25 2011, when the nation rose against the political domination and tyranny of Hosni Mubarak and his cabinet. But, exactly, what happened?  What was the reason of this revolution, and what happened after? What have changed?

Egypt is known around the all world because their culture, their traditions, and the movies about it, to be honest, ¿Who didn't see "The mummy" or "The Gods must be crazy" or any movie like these? We all have some knowledge about Egypt. Also, Egypt is known thanks to the Pyramids and the Nile. But...is this all "Egypt"?

The revolution is nothing new for Egyptians, because this is the 3rd revolution in the last 100 years, but this was the biggest and unprecedented, compared with the previous ones. The reasons of the revolution, basically, were: The corruption in the government, excess of police brutality, the shortage of food and housing, the emergency state and laws, restrictions on free speech and the press, the unemployment and poor living conditions, inter.

Adding to it, the Egypt people were tired of 30 years of tyrannical domination performed by Mubarak, a person that have done nothing for the poor people and try to change their condition, instead, the rich are richer and the poor are poorer.

They didn't do the revolution just for an idea, or a social-politic movement, they did it looking for a change, looking for a better life, a decent life.

And they obtained "a change". Hosni Mubarak renounced to his charge, after 18 days, in which there were killings, a time of terror and fear in the streets, death, destruction and crimes. Almost 900 people were killed and more than 6.000 were affected by this (injured, prisoners, or kidnaped).

But…¿Has it really changed? Well, now days, in words of the same people “the rich is still rich and the poor are getting “more poorer”” because they have to work in about 5 jobs ONLY to pay ONE bill. They thought that choosing Mohammed Morsi they would get a change, but they didn't.

Now they are planning to do another revolution to get the change they want, but, ¿Will Egyptians someday get peace, or is this just a utopia?
