In lights of the “peaceful transition of power” that is the greatest sign of the democracy that is the United Stated of America, my heart sank.
As inspiring and hopeful as Obama’s speech was, as brilliantly eloquent and savvy as it was, I was feeling very emotional, because I realized what my country has never had, and probably never will.
With a president that has been in ‘office’ since 1981, Egypt has NEVER seen a democratic transition of power from one leader to another. Egypt has never seen fair, public, democratic and REAL elections. The one time we fell short of it, was a joke, with the one almost-real candidate still thrown in prison to be made an example of, to all those who DARE to pretend to dream that one day we can have real proper political parties with real potential presidential candidates.
Obama spoke of dignity, power, democracy, progress, development, leadership. Spoke of the founding fathers and the country’s struggles, he spoke of dreams coming true and USA coming a long way, he spoke of discrimination ending and new beginnings, he spoke and spoke and spoke and I just sat there, feeling sorry for Egypt, for all that she will never have.
Wondering where has OUR history gone? Our struggles, our battles? Where are our rights and our pride and our money? Where has our mind taken us? Our people, our faith, our RESPECT...where has Egypt gone?
Where is Egypt and where are all the Egyptians? Where is the fruit of all of our work and effort and hardships? Where are our sons? Our army, our leaders?
Where are you PEOPLE? Where is your heart? your love? your dignity?? Where have they all gone? Where is our art? our music, our culture and our civilization? Where did all the history dissolve to?
What happened to all the wars we fought? All the equations we solved? All that we’ve overcome? Where is our future? where is our Destiny taking us? What the hell will happen to us?
Where are your principles? Your morals? Your dreams and your ambitions? Where did the scientists and inventors go? Where are the writers and the journalists? Where are the politicians and opposers? Where did our patriots run to? What happened to our bravery? Our chivalry?
Where’s our Egypt? Where the hell did my country go?
