God willing, it will be the start of wellbeing for both countries.

After an age where silence and contentment with oppression and tyranny were prevalent, and not even one word was said, because the fate of the person who would say “no” was known, Egyptians stood up as one man. They forgot all their differences and became one heart for one purpose, one thought and one aim, and that was overthrowing the oppressive regime, starting with the ruler who surprised the whole world with a level of oppression that no one had ever reached before. The twenty-fifth of January, 2011, was the beginning of the end of oppression, favoritism and the condescending look at the Egyptian people from their ruler. A one-man scream erupted from the Egyptian people, as they said: “Down with the regime; down with the former president.” It was as if the anger of all the previous years were concentrated in one scream that spread everywhere, shaking the whole world. The oppressors did not accept hearing the word “no,” because they had never heard it before. They were not used to hearing it, so they decided to punish everyone that said it with death, so the protector became the killer. The heart is very sad for the flowers of Egypt who lost their lives, namely the youth, as most of them had not even reached thirty. All of them were young people who did not dream of anything except having respect and living a decent life for themselves and all the citizens. Hundreds of souls were lost in our free, honest Egyptian Revolution; it was their punishment from the government of our country for saying no to oppression. The reply of oppression to the word 'no' is usually nothing but further oppression.
