Speech

Egyptian Revolution 2011 Several questions arise when we talk about the revolution in Egypt and several conspiracies got evolved regarding this revolution. But it is worthwhile to elaborate the whole event in the scenario of global awareness. If I introduce the world today in a very few words, it will take just a minor part of a second to say global village . Nature allowed us acuity to think and explore as we are blessed with acumens and acute senses and on the basis of these blessings we try to fix the problems and answer those realities, facts that are hidden. That s why I m here to expose the dilemma with the help of some fact and figures. Geographical review Egypt is one of the most populous country in Africa and the middle east with a population of over 80 million singles and having total area of about 1,010,000 square kilometers (390,000 sq mi) bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west. Historical review First revolution took place in 1919. Second revolution on 23 July 1952 the free officers movement under Muhammad Naguib and Gamal Abdel Nasser staged a military coup that launched the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. Egyptian revolution 2011 Reasons After the assassination of President Anwar El Sadat by a fundamentalist soldier in 1981, Egypt was ruled autocratically by Mohamed Hosni Mubarak. Egypt that is considered as an epicenter of Arab world religious-politics, witnessed an unprecedented and monumental change when a popular protest swept over the entire Egypt. It was reaction against the regime policies regarding poverty, unemployment, and corruption, and food price inflation, police brutality, low minimum wages, and demographic structural factor, state of emergency laws, electoral fraud, and political censorship. Time line regarding event Factual findings by Wikipedia show that the beginning date of revolution was january25, 2011. And it was stated as the day of revolt thousands of people protested in cairo with thousand of others in streets throughout the country.
