Yet another country in North Africa is confronted with republic revolution against oppression.
Egypt – the Pharaoh land has remained so until now with autocratic rule since declaration as the republic on July 18, 1953.
The systemic abuse of power and corruption in the political system has been endured by the 80 million people without any representation in governance.
Uprising in the past has been successfully quelled with violence by the security forces including intimidation through military presence in civilian zone – the standard practice of all repressive regimes in pro-democracy peaceful protest.
The political freedom struggle is never without sacrifice especially against totalitarian government emboldened by strong diplomatic and strategic relationships with powerful ‘democracies’ advising the embattled ally to contain the uprising and not called for renunciation of power due to vested interests.
Besides Egypt military funded with U.S aid in billions of dollars is believed to exert authority in power sharing with the unpopular government.
