055 egypt


Photograph from the article "Mubarak Toppled" on The Economist

It is a significant day in history for the country of Egypt. Today marks the end of a thirty year reign of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. Who knew that a group of passionate youths yearning for change and the power of the internet would ignite such political unrest. I feel that this revolution is a great testament for those who underestimate those who seek great change. I feel that as people, we always strive to come back to harmony. Just like when we hunger, we yearn to be full because we knew that we once were satisfied. Hunger points to the fact that food exists. Likewise, Egypt's political revolution is an indication of a time that once was good and all was right. I can only pray and hope that this change will lead to radical new leadership that will lead the nation to greater heights, especially for the Copts. Rabena maak.
