    After the end of the Mubarak`s era the Egyptian Mohammed Morsi the leader of the Egyptian revolution won and Shafeek the leader of the counter-revolution and who known as the leader of remnants lost. The winning of Morsi is a victory to Egypt because he is a man with faith fears from God, has a clean hands, leader, and owns all good characteristics and he shall spear justice everywhere with help from God.

    The new Egyptian president aroused controversy among the Egyptians and people were divided regarding him. Some people are satisfied, while others are dissatisfied and do not want a dispute over the power. Many governmental officials do not want to support the new president because he is an Islamist personality that belongs to a banned party and he also came from the prison. Many citizens do not like the Muslim Brotherhood and object to their way of handling things. We heard much about them in the past and their greed for the power, and we saw this reality on the ground. How a president makes the oath before the Constitutional Court that he will respect the law and judiciary, and then restores the people’s assembly to life, despite the fact that it was dissolved by a court’s decision. This proves that he is unaware of the basics of the political life because if he did, he would have never made this serious legal violation. However, the constitutional court soon overruled the presidential decree, leveled many accusations to him, and noted that he breached the oath, which is the respect for the law. The new president offered many promises to the Egyptian people, but I think that he will not be able to fulfill them because they are very difficult. All the promises need much work and effort in addition to the full cooperation between the institutions of the state. Unfortunately, many citizens believe that supporting the decisions of the president means that he works for the benefit of the home. However, such people only make things worse because they do not have sufficient experience to handle the economic and the political affairs in the country. The president needs the best cadres of the state to put them in the right place.

    In my view, all the Egyptians, including those of all political and sectarian persuasions, men and women, as well as the representatives of the civil society and the youths, have almost unanimously felt the need for change in Egypt, and for that purpose there was a general and comprehensive agreement on the necessity for unifying all the voices calling for change within the framework of national organizations, in such a way that there is a general framework under which all the voices calling for real change gather, and the main objective of this is to work toward a new political system that is based on democracy and real social justice. By following this path, this will constitute the basic and definite guarantees for free and fair elections for all Egyptians.

    Yes, the Freedom and Justice Party followed a certain policy in terms of judging things, a policy that many people may agree about and many other people may disagree about. Yet, at the end, they are not murderers. There is also no doubt that the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, starting with Dr. Muhammad Morsi, have a political experience that enabled them to lead the country and a revival project that I wish it would be implemented because it will regain life to this country. The best for the country is to be led by someone who is not a murderer and has some pulse of hope to maintain this deep-rooted country. This is better than having a ruler who is another face of the same former regime that will only increase badness and oppression practiced against the Egyptians.

    Indeed, our glorious revolution overthrew the former regime headed by the disposed president Mohamed Hosni Mubarak. Hundreds of Egyptians died for that cause and they did not spare their souls, and sacrificed them for their beloved nation. They went to say no to oppression and they knew they will not come back. They knew that they will not escape the oppression of the oppressors. They went under the leadership of their belief that God will not let their souls or blood go in vain. Suddenly, our beloved Egypt became a country without a regime. It was a chance for the people with grudges and personal ambitions such as despicable parties that do not have a name or meaning, and hypocrites who have never said no to oppression, and yet they were planning to distribute the cake among themselves. Each of them hurried to take the biggest share of the cake at the expense of the stability of the nation and blood of the Egyptians. Chaos and crimes spread everywhere when the government retreated from fulfilling its role to protect the people. This was a kind of punishment to the Egyptians for daring to say no to oppression. Egypt was under the ruling of the military council that surprised all the Egyptians as a sincere follower of the former regime. It was not a lot different than it. The cheapest thing that marks it is the blood of the Egyptians. Many deals have been made between the internal enemies of the nation at the expense of our beloved homeland Egypt. Now it is time to elect the first new president based on the choice of the Egyptians for the first time to rule the country.

    The new president of Egypt is a man with a very good level of culture and good knowledge about all internal and external affairs of the country as well as the people's conditions, their health and educational problems, as well as their needs. He feels all the poor people, knows the personnel, and is working on developing skills and the human mind, and making Egypt to the top as witnessed by the whole world. This new president has the ability and skills to create change in Egypt. He is a man who listens to all opinions and debates with the officials in order to raise this country. He accepts all opinions and keeps Quran, and that will make him take care of the poor people who suffered a lot. This man will establish justice in the country, spread freedom among the people and make them equal; no one will be better than the other, all are equal, and all of them have rights and very good projects. The new president promised to return security for all people and to fix the problem of bread, gas cylinder, and all problems of traffic. In my opinion, I see that this president will carry out good things for this nation and he will be able to achieve development and elegance for Egyptians in a short time because he has experience in politics and he uses international experts.

    The political future of Egypt currently has no certain features, especially in the light of the numerous political internal disputes. We find that the political parties inside Egypt were classified in the past into a limited number of the parties, and each one of those parties had a specific way of treatment. However, the role of the political parties was not clear in the past, because the ruling party was dominating everything in Egypt given that fact that it was under the leadership of the former president. The other parties had no voice in Egypt and the politics in this country was no more than parties on papers, while all the influential decisions remained in the hands of the ruling party that represented the power and the influence.

    In fact, there are no words to express how happy and joyful I am because of the fairness of the elections, and for the first time in the history of Egypt, the country is living in a democracy, and it has been able to elect a president based on its free will for the first time. I cannot even express how happy I am that this has been accomplished in that manner. For the first time a civilian president is elected, and he is from the people, and he feels the suffering that the Egyptian people have endured. In fact, this feeling of exhilaration has permeated the whole Arab Republic of Egypt, because the Egyptian people have felt for the first time that their voice matters, and they have felt the freedom of expressing their views, and for the first time all the Egyptians have felt the fairness of these elections that never took place in the past, at least under the former regime. As such, I pray to Allah, just like he has helped the Egyptian people in choosing their leader, I pray that Allah will grant him assistance, and that he will not disappoint them in him and make their voices go in vain, and feel remorse and regret for losing their voices to someone that is not worth it. Also, I call on the new president to do his utmost in order to rebuild Egypt as a new state where the Egyptian people can have all that they hope for in terms of improved living standards and the removal of slums and the provision of housing for the inhabitants of Egypt at suitable prices and an end to the problem of unemployment that has become one of the worst hardships that the people are suffering from, so that he can realize prosperity and stability for his people in Egypt, hoping that Allah will help him and assist him in front of the whole world.

    Today, the Egyptian nation is living an old dream that it has been dreaming of for a long time, and it was also considered a fantasy rather than a dream that can come true, i.e. for the Egyptian youths to successfully carry out a strong revolution that has emanated from the authentic soul of Egypt; for them to completely overthrow the regime and its ruler, which is something that the Egyptian citizens have thought of as being a fantasy for a long; for anyone to be able to say ‘no’ to any group in the government or to the police. So, every time Egypt gains a higher status, it is a beautiful dream that is coming true, especially after the success of the free elections in Egypt. If this is any indication, it will show that Egypt has a beautiful time in store for its citizens, so that they can live a respectable and prosperous life where the freedom of the noble and authentic Egyptians prevails.
