“In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate, dear fellow citizens, my sons and daughters, the youth of Egypt….”
Whenever this phrase hits my eardrum, I know I don’t have to listen to what’s next because it’s completely expected. Throughout the past two years, the people of Egypt have been listening to the same promises, same useless statements intended to calm them down, and same worthless speeches. It doesn’t make a difference if the country is on fire, if a massacre is going on in Port said and people are getting shot, it is really okay if most of the provinces is unstable and doesn’t matter if roads are blocked by demonstrators or things are out of control in the capital, still, ,the series of the useless speeches must be completed by Morsy’s speech today Sunday 27th, treating the current situation by bringing back the Emergency law to Port said and Suez as well as setting a curfew in both cities.
Not only did Mohamed Morsy use the same oppressive way of the old regime but neglected Article 148 in the so called ‘Egyptian constitution’ stating that ‘The President of the Republic shall declare, after consultation with the Cabinet, a state of emergency in the manner regulated by law. Such proclamation must be submitted to House of Representatives within the following seven days if the declaration takes place when the House of Representatives are not in session, a session is called for immediately. In case the House of Representatives is dissolved, the matter shall be submitted to the Shura Council, all within the period specified in the preceding paragraph. The declaration of a state of emergency must be approved by a majority of members of each Council. The declaration shall be for a specified period not exceeding six months, which can only be extended by another similar period upon the people’s approval in a public referendum. The House of Representatives cannot be dissolved while a state of emergency is in place.’
It seems like political stupidity and underestimation of the Egyptian people by their rulers is endless. No one was held accountable for all this killing since the beginning of the revolution until now except the last trial of Port Said massacre where 21 of the accused people were sentenced to death. These people did not include the former head of security in port said nor any of the police officers; however it’s a good step on getting back the right of our martyrs, a step which was preceded by extreme pressure by ULTRAS AHLAWY, blocking roads and bridges, protests everywhere, and followed by a new massacre resulted in the killing of a number of people more than those sentenced to death! A viscous circle that has no end and won’t end until a true faithful leader is found. Until now, it’s only the people that we trust, the youth who sacrifice their souls everyday in the streets while the political elites are on TV, it’s the revolutionists that have been on the streets since the beginning of the revolution until now that we trust, not the remnants of the regime who lately claim to be revolutionists but demonstrate only because of their hatred to the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s true that we are going through very hard days, maybe among the hardest ever, but we will never regret starting the revolution, we will never say Mubarak’s day was better, and it’s good that the Muslim brotherhood came to power so that all the people know their truth, and that it is power that they sake not the sake of the country. We are definitely not against religion, if it got applied in the right way but making use of religion as a mean to reach power is already the first step of losing legitimacy, the legitimacy which Mohamed Morsy has already lost in the eyes of the people and earned losing it through a series of shocking incidents in less than a 6 months interval of reign, including successive train crashes, people getting shot and unfair trials. And yes, we know it! It will take us more lives to remove the current system, more than the lives that were sacrificed before, but it is dignity, equality and freedom that we have been seeking from the beginning and it is what we will get.
It may be apparent that our blood is cheap, being shattered here and there, but no, our blood is priceless, and it’s the cost of Freedom that we pay. Satisfaction will be reached and the right of the martyrs will be fulfilled only when the country is set free. So it’s either freedom or martyrism!
