Recently the world experienced on the rarest things that it will ever see, but it should see more of it. The world witness one of the most peaceful revolutions. The protestation at Tehran Square resulted in demand for the President to step down. I was sure that the Army would react. It would be China all over again, but things have changed.
There was a bit of violence that was between the protestors and supporters of the President. That where things get a bit weird. The Army failed or was to slow to react to this violence. In simple terms, they did not get involved. Could it all have been planned out? The Police have disappeared off the streets at the beginning of the protestation. Was this them in an official capacity. Also let me point another thing, did the Army resort to violence because of the large media presence that was putting Egypt into the international spotlight. Also not the forget the power of the internet. It played a big role. Did the government and the army not forget how the internet fueled protest in Iran inspite of its crackdown. Did the government and army allow for this strong presences of media because of its heavy backing of the United States, giving it not many choices?
Since the President has stepped down the army has been pushing out protest out of Tehran Square. It has officially said that it would take over leadership and democratic elections would be there in a month.
Well, I really hope it does happens and it all plays out for the best. But Egypt has a long way to go.
