Revolution in Egypt, from an Egyptians perspective.

I like and agree with your post Omar. President Mubarak needs to step down; he's been in rule for too long! And I will also agree that he has made some real bad choices, economically and otherwise. The best example of this is the article you shared and the quote you posted on that:

“The Internet shutdown did do something: it cost Egypt's economy as much as $90 million, or $18 million per day.”

This is only an example, but a very valid one. If you can't make good decisions, then you shouldn't be running and in office. also, about your family in Egypt: they are doing the best thing any citizen can do there. best of luck to them.

Dear Omar:

I strongly agree with your post,"Revolutionin Egypt, from an Egyptians persperctive," because to me what it seems like is that Egypt is going through a revolution. Well it sounds like it. 

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is "“The Internet shutdown did do something: it cost Egypt's economy as much as $90 million, or $18 million per day.” I think this is surprising beacuse beacuse this stood out to me because this is a large amount of money. Money that could of been used for better reasons. Better then just being cut from people's usage. This money could of gone to helping the people communicate.

Another sentence that stood out to me is that :"Armed with swords, knives and whatever they ca find to defend themselves and their families and homes." If people are armed like this then it seems very dangerous. If people have to do this then I believe the government should well at least the army should bring down the government.

Thank you for writing. I'll be looking foward to seeing what your write next, because this is a huge influence around the world. Egypt isn't the only one with corrupt goverrnment leader. There are corrupt governent in different continent on this world.

Dear Omar,

I was delighted to read your post, Revolution in Egypt, fro an Egyptians Perspective, because I think that it was necessary to know your view on this since you are from Egypt. You really put your thoughts about what is going on in Egypt. Your post made me realize a lo of new things and it gave me an idea of how some people in Egypt might feel about this.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “The government in Egypt has always been an important subject for me.  As an Egyptian, I feel that the current government is only working to an extent, and not it’s full potential. I got to Egypt every summer, and personally, I see the conditions getting worse.  The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer.” I think that this is an important factor because it explains a reason to why Egyptians are getting tired of the government. It seems that the government is letting people down and not caring about the country and its people.
Another sentence that I interested me was: “This statistic didn't really surprise me all that much, but it did make me feel upset. It upsets me because the government doesn’t notice that they’re losing so much money, and yet everything is at a stand still.  They try and give little statements to supposedly “uplift” the people, but it just gets worse.” This stood out for me because Egypt’s economy is being affected by the riots and the protest. I think that the government is just making everything worst. I honestly do not understand why the President doesn’t step down, he has been ruling for 30 years.
I do agree with you that Egypt should unite as whole to achieve a goal. One reason I say this is because I think that if people were to get together and not fight among each other more can be achieve. Another reason I agree with you is because many I think that if there was one main goal set then everyone can work on it together and be able to work better.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I want to know more about this case. I think that is better to get your perspective because you have people living there that can tell you more.

Dear Omar:

I liked  your post, "Revolution in Egypt from an Egyptian perspective" because we have been seeing it on the news and we are watching it from our reporters perspective. So reading your post has given another look in for this event that some people may say it is bad.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "One thing that I know for sure about the current revolution in Egypt is that President Hosni Mubarak will not run for election again." I think this is interesting because he been in power for 30 years and that is what is crazy. Unlike us we only had an president for about every 4 years but it is so different from our government.

Another sentence that I found interesting  was: "The Internet shutdown did do something: it cost Egypt's economy as much as $90 million, or $18 million per day." This stood out for me because that is scary if they could do that to the Internet for one certain place. Its almost like the that one Republican that was running who wanted an switch to turn the Internet off from the people. So that is what is bad and crazy about this situation.

I do agree with you that we should fight against others and not each other. One reason I say this is we have seen other revolutions and as long as they stick together and get it through. That is why we need to go on with the it now.

Dear Omar

         I  enjoyed reading your post " Revolution in Egypt, from a Egyptian perspective." because i agree with everything your saying this is not just happening only in Egypt but all around the world , the Elite and the rich are getting stronger and more powerfull and more richer while the poorer just keep getting poorer and poorer and it seems that the elite just dont care and want more and more and this has to end and stop and someone has to do something just like it happened in Egypt we need a revolution Egypt just took the first step and hopefully everyone else will follow.

         One sentence you wrote thata stands our for me is " I got to Egypt every summer, and personally, I see the conditions getting worse." , well of course the conditions are getting worse and they will get even worser because the rich and powerfull will not stop to rob you they will keep doing it until there is nothing left to be robbed or until we are dead.

         Another sentence that I enjoyed was "For the sake of Egypt, don't fight each other over different beliefs, unite as a country towards one goal.  "  This is so very true because that is the only thing we can do and the only way we can stop them we just need to take them out of power and not give up or not give in until they are gone and until we make sure that they can never regain that power again and we need to unite and stand tall as one because united we stand and devided we fall and this is our only chance we got.

       I agree with all you said because yes Mubarak dosnt givce a damn about the Egyptian people he just wants to stay in power as long as he can adn get as rich as he can before he gets out even if that means almost killing the country.

       Tanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next or to see if there is any update on the Egyptian revolution because i wonder if the people will succede in this struggle.

Dear Omar

I like your post along with your image, "Revolution in Egypt from and Egyptians perspective," because it seem like the protest really affected you yeah the protest should affect u because of all does people that are being injured but u should also be proud that your country is fighting for what they believe.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is:"I got to Egypt every summer, and personally, I see the conditions getting worse.  The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer." I think this is dum because it makes me wonder why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer the government should help these and impeach that president instead of lettening this protest go on. I respect Egpyts decision to go and protest agianst there government  its something that everyone should do if there governement has to much power, Everyone should fight for what they believe in thats why i think that they should end this protest with the impeachment of the president.

Another sentence that I liked was "I have to disagree with that. If the United States help out, they are once again butting into other people's business"this stood out to me because everyone even here in the U.S was feeling what other egyptians have felt in Egypt

I dont not agree with the fact that some people are wanting the U.S to join in whats happening in Egypt they should just stay out of it stuff like this just atracts more and more problems so its better if they just stay out of it.

Thanks for yor writing Omar. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because i see what your going to and i would like to know more and see how u feel

Omar,

I was very suprised while reading your post. Because this is your home country, i was interested in seeing an Egyptian's point of view on this. When you said " I remember my parents talking about it when we were sitting together watching TV..." I would think that your family must be very tense about your situation right now and hoping that your family is safe. Because I talk to you in real life because I try to keep social in REAL life, I know that this is going on right near your family.

I am suprised to see all the money it is taking to fund the army that isn't even fighting back for the government. From your postI saw that you said anywhere form 18 to 90 million dollars are being used to fund the army. That is insane. That could pay for a few hundred housand kids private college educations! That is a lot of money that is being lost. Moreover, the army is neatural right now...but once they fire upon people, then the peoples will fight back. When the people fight back, what will the army do? Fight back and then the country will really become a warzone.

I hope everything is ok with you and your family. I wish you the best and keep writing.

Egypt Free! Egypt Free!  -Your mom =)

When you told me that your mother texted you that, and you started dancing, I knew something big had just happened. 

I looked up on CNN.com and saw that the president had finally made his speech in which he would step down. After weeks of a peaceful protest (Sort of...people died) Mubarak stepped down from his presidential status and left Egypt. People were dancing, doing cartwheels, and singing in the streets. The whole country was overjoyed as their wishes have finally been met. The 30+ year reign of Mubarak has come to an end. 

I hear that many people hare very happy with these developments. Including your family I presume. But now I wonder...who is going to be in charge now? I know the military is in power at this point but are the Egyptians afraid of their country becoming too militant? Anyway, I am happy that everything worked out well with you guys.

Dear Omar,

I enjoyed reading your post, " Revolution in Egypt, from an Egyptians perspective," because this topic was personal to yourself, and you wrote a lot of detail and expressed your feelings about it. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is, "It upsets me because the government doesn’t notice that they’re losing so much money, and yet everything is at a stand still." I think this is a good sentence because the government was doing all these bad things for the people of Ehypt and they just kept on continuing, and its upsetting. Another sentence that I liked was: "I got to Egypt every summer, and personally, I see the conditions getting worse.  The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer." I found this interesting because its not suppose to be that way. The economy should be better and there should be financial help for the poor people. I do agree with you that Egypt needs help and someone needs to help them soon otherwise the effects will be bad. Thanks for your writing, I look forward to seeing what you write next because you had a lot of emotion in your post. 

I enjoyed reading your post, "Revolutions in Egypt, from an Egyptian's Perspective" because I know how the events are affecting everyone in the world, especially you since you are Egyptian. I wonder how you see the world now and how this has changed your life.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "Some people felt that social media played a big role in the current revolution in Egypt." I think this is true because media affects a lot of people and the poeple in Egypt were severely affected by media. This is most likely one of the reasons why they went on protests.

Another sentence that I read was: "For the sake of Egypt, don't fight each other over different beliefs, unite as a country towards one goal." This stood out for me because this is exactly what Egypt should do but at the moment this isn't happening. I strongly belive in this quote and hope that this is what Egypt will do.

Dear Omar,

I liked your post, "Revolution in Egypt, from an Egyptians perspective." because you told us what you would like to see personally, but also what you think will happen realistically. I think it is very important to look at certain situations in a realistic light rather than a hopeful one. You also clearly stated why the protests happened so a reader can better understand what you're talking about. It was very easy to read and understand.

One part that stood out to me was: "I got to Egypt every summer, and personally, I see the conditions getting worse." This stood out to me because it showed that you're not talking from a bystander's point of view, but from a person who has actually experienced the reasons for the protests. Your account of the conditions in Egypt made the events that happened a little more real for me instead of just something I saw on the news.

Thanks for writing. It was very enjoyable to read and you should continue to write.
