Wednesday, April 13th authorities took custody of the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his two sons, Gamal and Alaa. He is being held in Sharm el-Sheikh while authorities investigate his political crimes over the past thirty years, illicit gain, corruption allegations and particularly the deaths of hundreds of protesters during the uprising. Officials reported, Mubarak was not in the best of health after announcing he would not run for re-election, a precedent to his heart-attack during interrogation last Thursday. Mubarak is currently undergoing interrogation in an Sharm el-Sheikh hospital. Protesters worked continually during their three months of rallies and demonstrations to speak out against Mubarak's thirty year reign of

There are three central themes present in the two movies, Evolution of a Revolution: Live from Tehran an ABC broadcast by Peter Jennings and Persepolis by Vincent Paronnaud, Marjane Satrapi. The two movies demonstrate the rising of Iranian Islamic Revolution and its cause and effect on the people of Iran. The three central themes within the movies are political culture and religion and exile. Firstly, in Evolution of a Revolution demonstrates within Iran the political powers have utilized their power to control the population, by coercive, oppressive force and manipulating the population’s ideologies. Secondly, Persepolis demonstrates a first person perspective of a cultural ideology which is ever changing, where new ideas and thought provoke change within the current cultural structure of Iranians (Intellects) like Marjane and her family. This can be demonstrated within the Islamic Revolution of Iran where the people of Iran moved away from the modernization and went back to their traditional culture of Islam through the influence of Ayatollah Khomeini and went against Khomeini teachings because they were very strict on the new law of the state. Lastly, in both the movies religion is demonstrated as cause for oppression and exile. Therefore, the two movies Evolution of a Revolution and Persepolis demonstrate the cause and effect of the Iranian Revolution where Evolution of a Revolution demonstrates the history, while Persepolis demonstrates a personal perspective of the

WIth the British unnecessarily taxing the Colonist of goods like sugar, stamps and tea. Where the Egyptians were mad at the government for not doing anything about the poverty and unemployment as well as believing that the government was corrupt. Next, the demands of both groups leading the revolutions both wanted a change in the government. In both situations the majority of the people were very mad at the government and wanted a change.

There has been a rebellion going on for years now. This rebellion included people that broke the laws. My information will be coming from the passages “Cairo: My City, Our Revolution”, “Lolita in Tehran”, and “Persepolis”

To begin, the documentary “The Square” provided in depth insight on the protestors’ lives and their journeys through Egypt presidents’ problematic rise of power. During the beginning of the documentary, Ahmed Hassan, Magdy Ashour, Khalid Abdalla and Ramy Essam as well as various protestors are followed throughout the demonstrations to show viewers the atrocities that Egypt underwent in 2011 and the years following. As well, the documentary provides different points of views by interviewing military officials and people in higher political power. Not only did the documentary provide insight in the revolution but, it provided an insight on Egypt’s culture and society through the views of Christian and Muslim followers.

I grew up in my home country Egypt, in a time some may say I was lucky to have experienced and been a part of. I took part in helping a nation overthrow its dictator who reigned with tyranny longer than I had been alive. I am an Egyptian youth, who fought for my people’s stolen prosperity and withheld freedom against the famous thirty year old Mubarak regime. The Egyptian revolution was televised and kept under the global eye throughout each of its progressions, from start to end yet not holistic in merit.

Egypt was a nation under British rule until a young colonel name Gamal Abdel Nasser took power. He became a national hero by leading a coup that became a revolution. He was the first leader to defeat Britain. During Nasser’s years in power, Egypt led the Arab world. Nasser’s biggest error was his failure with democracy. The people in Egypt are still paying for that mistake. To this day his revolution remains unfinished. Many people would attribute all Egyptian problems to Nasser and many people would say if only somebody like Nasser would come back. Nasser’s coup wasn’t just about ceasing power for himself and his colleagues, but about modernizing Egypt and changing its political culture so that Egypt could keep up with the west.

As we can ascertain from the timeline, Egypt has been fought over and for time and time again. Many have wanted Egypt for their own and the people have struggled for their freedom and as they struggle to attain that freedom, they tussle with their identity. Egypt's identity is a dichotomy of the old with an attempt to balance the current. Egypt has great pride in the history of her strength and power and desires to regain and/or remain (depending on the moment in history!) being viewed as an influencer and a power to be reckoned with. We will see how this plays out in different leadership styles as we delve into examining Egypt's modern

The citizens of Egypt wanted to overthrow their president because he acted as a dictator. The people were fed up with not being able to feed their children, the inequality between Christians

Ancient Egypt was one of the earliest civilizations, and had a stable structure that influenced the cultures of other countries such as Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Egyptian culture is one of the world 's most oldest cultures, one that descended from an ancient civilization that emerged in the 10th millennium BCE. Egypt has a long history, longer than any modern country. Ancient Egypt was home to some of the earliest developments of agriculture, writing, organized religion and central government. Their cultural heritage is a very important part of the national Egyptian identity. This essay will identify and discuss several aspects of Egyptian culture, ranging from language, religion, government, attire, and other cultural norms for the country.

Ancient Egypt, one of the most successful and spectacular civilizations in human history, has been studied by modern day scholars for its amazing accomplishments. Lasting for over 3,000 years, this civilization thrived in the Nile River Valley and grew to be a united kingdom with pharaohs, merchants, artisans, priests, teachers, and farmers. It can be argued that Egypt was the most highly advanced civilization of the time due to their stunning architecture, strong central government, and complex worldview that was highly optimistic and positive.

Islam governs their political, personal, economic legal lives and is practiced by the majority of Egyptians. Muslims have many obligations; to pray five times a day, which are listed in their newspaper each day - at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and evening.

Since 2013, including president El Sissy’s first year in power, there have been no real political or security reforms. The current regime continued to work without a legislative body for more than two years, with the president issuing hundreds of legislative bills without any real community or political dialogue (Abd Rabou 2015) . The surveillance system in Egypt simply does not work while the presidency and other security services have a strict hold on power and while human rights violations are made by police officers in police stations, prison cells, and even on the streets. All of which is a continued replay of Mubarak’s security policies. The constitution has been violated many times by the regime and the president declared it to be “too ambitious” .
