SANTA ANA, Calif. (Jan. 23, 2013) – This Friday marks two years since the first fire of the January 25 Egyptian revolution against the Mubarak regime was lit by Egyptian young people.
When the protesters took to the streets of a few large Egyptian cities shouting for freedom, social justice and bread (a symbol of the basic needs of life that millions of Egyptians lack), they probably did not realize then that their enthusiastic adventure was about to change the course of history for the entire Egyptian state. It has turned over a new page in Egypt’s thick history book.
After two years have passed, what does Egypt look like now?
A Christian leader, who regularly blogs from Egypt, says he sees “a split nation overflowing with too much frustration and anger, with hardly any positive or promising political or social development. The economy is a disaster, with our local currency’s value diving deep down into the unknown.”
