The uprising in Tunisia and Egypt.

History is unfolding right before our eyes.

The Tunisian revolution that ensued the departure of dictator Ben Ali has sent a wavering frenzy across the Arab world resulting into the unfinished uprising in Egypt. The valour being displayed by Tunisians and Egyptians is something everyone should be proud of, regardless.

The soaring food prices, fuel, terrible living conditions, etc undoubtedly lead to the uprising. Corruption is endemic in Egypt. The ordinary Egyptian live under $2 per day. This is terrible, giving the amount of aid Egypt receives from America annually. Egypt receives the second largest US foreign aid to the tune close to $2bn in economic and military aid annually. This aid is given to Egypt on condition it will continue to offer Israel unconditional support and protect US interests in the region. Majority of this aid is squandered by the Mubarak family and regime.

Egypt is virtually a police state. Freedom of speech is curtailed day in and out. No one dare questions the government. Doing so would land you in jail, coupled with torture. The rich keep getting richer and the poor keeps getting poorer. The richer are those closer to the government. The vast living conditions differences between the rich and poor definitely lead the Egyptians to mirror the Tunisian uprising.

The West is not fully in support of the crave for democracy and better living conditions by the majority of Egyptians out of the fear the Muslim Brotherhood might use the chance to clamber up unto the governance of Egypt. But there's no evidence to this. This, I insist is fear of the unknown. No one knows what the outcome of this uprising would be, in the case Mubaraks government fall. This uprising was not instigated or dominated by any sole faction. This is a complete social unrest as a result of 3 decade suppression rule of Hosni Mubarak and his regime. The West is afraid Egypt might follow the footmark of the Iranian revolution which overthrew the Shah in1979 which has lead to the current impasse between Iran and the rest of the world. These are entirely different generations and different conditions. A wikileak document released by the Telegraph of UK today reveals the US actually supports and instigated the ongoing protests.

The second reason why the West is not in support of the ongoing protests is due to the safety of Israel. This is bullocks. Why should a democratic Egypt be a threat to the state of Israel? Why should over 80 million Egyptians be subjected to severe poverty and suppression at the expense of the safety of 6 million Israelis? Anyone who think along these lines should have their moral compass critically examined. Are the 6 million Israelis better than 80 million Egyptians? These are moral questions that remains unanswered by the West. What matters most here is the living conditions of Egyptians. They took to the street to oust the tyranny because they couldn't take the hardship anymore. What's West problem with that? You should think the citizenry of Egypt will be commended for these acts of bravery by West. of course not. You can try as much as you can to try to meddle the Muslim Brotherhood into this but it still remains irrelevant. Everyone knows the Muslim brotherhood only recently joined the protest. They were initially against it since it wasn't initiated by them. This is a protest by all factions of the Egyptian society. I was moved to see Christians guide over their muslim brothers whiles they pray during the protests yesterday.

I encourage Egyptians to oust the dictatorship and install any government with popular support (if the majority want Muslim brotherhood, so be it). Don’t let Americans, Europeans or Israelis determine your future. It’s your destiny not anybody’s.

And once more, don't be pleased by the resignation of Mubaraks cabinet and the introduction of the new Prime Minister and Vice President. If you back off at this moment, your effort will be in vain and all your brothers and sister who got killed by the security forces would continue to turn in their graves in shame. Continue to ride through the alley to freedom. Libertas nam to omnis Egyptians!!!
