Post-Revolution Egypt

So, here we are. Another bloody Friday with its non-stop protests going into vicious circles; everyone seems to know his/her place quite well and play his/her part. For protesters, they are on streets protesting and fighting for a future and a country they have only seen in their dreams. Soldiers and officers are all set with their tear-gas bombs, pistols and tanks. They, too, have been fighting for a long while. A better status, recognition or even power, one cannot tell precisely in such hard blurry times. Politicians and Strategic Experts are all scattered in TV broadcast, on Facebook or even Twitter, pointing fingers and making wonders to show how philosophical and eloquent they can be. Striving for freedom? Still, no one can really tell. Others, millions, are just watching this constant battle that has been going on for almost two years till now. They are just waiting for the end to see who will win over, get the long-awaited throne and become the new Pharaoh. "Why don't they get into the streets too? Are they a bunch of ignorant, coward and dreamless fellas?" You might wonder. Maybe, they all that. Or even worse! They may have been there once, yes, on the streets, fighting for these noble values, but they had to let go and lose hope. They might have had enough with that scene and its backstage dirty games and realized that they, in both cases, are just mere marionettes.

May Truth Prevail!
