Revolution [ˌrɛvəˈluːʃən] – When Egypt wrote new History!

From the Latin revolutio, "a turn around"

It is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures in a short time. The original term of “Revolution” is to change the government and the governor, as well as the whole political system in a country.

When we look back at the Egyptian Revolution, the real reason was not actually to change the president and his corrupt regime and shuffle all the ugly faces around, but it strives to change the way of life and thinking of the average Egyptian. There were injustice in the first place, but people were still satisfied and grateful for what they have, but what is with our future? With the next generation? And finally people realized that they want a better, more peaceful and democratic life. Where everyone can talk freely and say his opinion, as long it is in a respectful way.  

The ordinary meaning of “Revolution” is totally different from what the Egyptians have asked for. The revolution in Egypt was not against a president, a presidential regime or a corrupt party, but it was a revolt against ignorance and corruption. In spite of the poverty in Egypt, the revolution was not to fight poverty but to call for human rights and justice, to call for lost dignity!

After all, people feel their voices were heard not only in their own country, but in the whole world. Every one heard the cry of the Egyptian. The revolution was a cry for “clean streets” and “better schools” where the next new generation will be educated to build the future civilization of Egypt. It was a cry for “clean hospitals” where people can be well treated.

 It was a cry, for a new and better Egypt!
