Year: 2010

We have been enslaved—not just for the past three decades of Mubarak’s rule, or since the 1952 military coup but—for five thousand years with the start of the Egyptian civilization.

Amid all the ongoing talk about political reform and the post-Mubarak scenarios, I can’t help but thinking we haven’t waited that long, that long, that long, just to end up with liberal democracy and people we can at best elect every five years.

This nation deserves no less than a republic, run by direct democracy.
