History Of Hosni Mubarak 's Regime

The situation was already so poor that the citizens chose to bear with it instead of fixing it. For example, the country’s total imports was greater than the country’s total exports. This proved how weak and unstable the government system was. According to the Washington Post, “You had 10 percent unemployment and 25 percent youth unemployment. Already there was a sense of a lack of opportunity and declining social mobility. So Egypt went into its revolution when it was already in difficult economic

A revolution has begun by the people in the Middle East against their long time dictators. The domino effect began first with Tunisia then Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, and Libya. Thousands of protestors were gathered on the streets with posters, shouting for change and democracy. Why would there be protests unless the people are unsatisfied with the way the country is governed. Why would they go against their dictator unless they feel they have no rights and that they have no voice. Unlimited power should never be given to one person; the chances of corruption are very high because power can change even the most virtuous individual. That is why the path of a dictatorial country is a path of strife, oppression and economical downfall.

One of my main reasons why I am against the coup is that president Morsi was placed under arrest for killing his own people which is something I find hard to believe. Why would Morsi kill his own people after the Mubarak dictatorship? After all Morsi was elected by the people of Egypt and he is the people’s

He had others that did the dirty work for him, but when it came down to the final say he was the one that made the call; as so did King George III. King George and Mubarak wanted to make sure they stayed in control of everything, and so with that came decisions that their people did not agree with, for example, King George passed laws that raised taxes for the goods that the Americans used commonly and this made them furious. Mubarak had more violent ways of putting his foot down and letting everyone know he was in charge, instead, he tortured and jailed the Egyptians if they did not agree with how he ran the

I think Egypt did the right thing by revolting against President Morsi. He was only doing things to benefit himself. It sounded like he was trying to become the one and only leader of Egypt when he issued a Presidential ruling that gave him all temporary powers beyond the reach of any court or system. That’s not fair. If I was in Egypt’s situation I would definitely try to rebel against him too just like the state institutions such as the police did. I would do everything in my power to get him out of the presidential role. That is what I think about the Egypt

It has been six years since Egypt drove itself into oppositions of institutions in 2011. Still to this day, there is no label of the revolution to be a “success” or “failure”. It is easy to stop the moment of a unethical government was taken down, the reconstruction of Egypt and its laws is an ongoing struggle. In American history, there was no specific day when we came out of mass chaos into a united country of freedom and democracy. For Egypt's sake, all we can do is give them time to get the government back on their feet and support them in what they are still going

The term “Arab Spring” has emerged in academic literature as well as in the general media from about early 2011. It refers to the “awakening” of some Arab nations and the movements to replace authoritarian regimes with democratic ones. The theme of “spring” and “awakening” seems to have been borrowed from the 1989 reform movements in the former Eastern-block nations, such as in the former German Democratic Republic or Hungary. However, this comparison has been criticised by some analysts since both the circumstances which have led to these movements as well as the outcome of these reform efforts seem to differ quite a lot. Yet, the Arab Spring term seems to be still widely used and even found an extension in the creation of the term Arab Winter which refers to events that happened in 2012 in some Arab countries during which these reform movements seemed to have “cooled-off” and particular nations, such as Egypt, attempted to go back to the status-quo of the pre-2011 era.

Egypt has long been seen as a place rich in tradition and culture. With specific respect to Siwa, a region in the country, this was very much true when it was discovered by an investor in 1995, who described it as untouched by time. Despite its recent rocky revolution, Egypt has strived to place itself in a position to be a model not just for Africa, but for the whole of the Arab World, and has done so by promoting freedoms and encouraging foreign investment through various liberal policies. This has helped alleviate the country's employment problem, but much remains to be done, and not all reforms have been wholly positive. The paragraphs below will focus further on the Siwa region, and the specific project which it entails, and will discuss the objectives of the project introduced here, as well as pertinent issues and how they have and will affect the country.

Abstract: To understand why the Tunisian uprising and its aftermath, the dominant narratives of secularism, Islamism and the political weakness of the youth should be set aside. Those contentious and seductive issues lead us astray from the more fundamental and essential role of the ruling elite, without whom no country can make the transition from authoritarianism to democracy. We must think of those old elites, even in a revolutionary uprising, as active participants who are neither passive nor innocent. Democratization succeeded in Tunisia because the old elite was neither excluded nor subjected to the threat of

As street protests flared for a fifth day, Mr. Mubarak fired his cabinet and appointed Omar Suleiman, his right-hand man and the country’s intelligence chief, as vice president. Mr. Mubarak, who was vice president himself when he took power after the assassination of President Anwar el-Sadat, had until now steadfastly refused pressure to name any successor, so the move stirred speculation that he was planning to

Egypt was heavily influenced by the arab uprising until the day has come on 25th of January 2011 police officers left the prisons open to prisoners to escape. This caused chaos and turmoil in the country, and ,murderers and thugs were walking around the country with weapons stealing what they can. We were in Sinai, a small city on the red sea, it wasn't safe, so we had to move to a safer city country Morocco. On this day, we lost our house,car and a lot of money I felt useless and powerless. A few days later, I was soo stressed that I felt sick, and I was emotionally and psychologically defeated because it was my First time moving to a new country, so it was difficult for me to adapt to the language and weather. Although It was a tough period in my life, I was able to overcome it. In the story “The School Days of an Indian Girl” by Zitkala-Sa, she was placed in the same situation. Zitkala-Sa, a native indian girl, at a young age is forced to move to another state to be forced to learn how to talk, eat and dress like whites. She said “ I sank deep into the corner of my seat, for I resented being watched”. She had the same feeling that I had when I was in Morocco. Like Zitkala-Sa, I was also forced to relocate to another

When this happens, people turn to new movements/organizations that are can emphasize what Bayat feels defines the post-Islamist turn: the “fusion of religiosity and rights” (11). Bayat’s analysis is focused on the late 1980s and 1990s in Iran and Egypt, when both the Islamic government of Iran and the secular government of Egypt were dealing with rising challenges from Islamic organizations, in both moderate and extreme forms. Bayat’s central research question asks why Iran of the late 1970s experienced an Islamic revolution, while Egypt of the 1980s, faced with similar conditions, only experienced an Islamic movement. For Iran, Bayat concludes that the Shah’s autocratic rule, which crushed political opposition, while providing favorable conditions for Western businesses and expatriate communities galvanized a crosssection of Iranian society, and provided for remarkable “unity of purpose” in overthrowing the regime. After the revolution completed, the revolutionary government allowed for public protest to continue in order to preserve the legitimacy of clerical rule (36). However, for Egypt,

In 2011, Egypt’s economy was disrupted by a revolution that resulted in the dethroning of its president. During this period of economic and political downturn Egypt’s economy grew

In December 2010, the Arab Spring began and created a collective popular movement to takedown authoritarian figures for more viable options. This paper poses the question: Why did the Democratization process differ between Tunisia and Egypt? The popular uprisings in the Middle-East had different effects on their governments mostly because of the difference in the democratization process.

The Wasat Party has slowly become an important opposition party throughout the years that promotes a more liberal political environment in Egypt. The article explains that before the Wasat Party had the legal status of an official party, the foundation was being formed secretively by young leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood. The young leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood were considering democratization to be a better option because of the positive impacts in had on other countries around the world. Moreover, the young leaders didn’t desire the repression they had to go through because of the strict interpretation of the Shari‘a, the Islamic law. The Shari‘a condemned aspects Therefore, the young leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood had to keep their intentions of their aspiring new political party secret until it was exposed to the regime. The Wasat Party offered more liberal interpretation of the Shari’a as well as provides different ideas of what undermined the Islamic core values the differed from the Muslim Brotherhood.
