The crisis of change Posted by on Feb 5, 2011 in Culture

The winds of change have been blowing in Egypt for 12 days since January the 25th, but since then the situation has been escalating, and it has dominated media all over the world. Demonstrations have continued all over the country, and supporters of the Egyptian president formed their own demonstrations and clashed with callers for change. The situation in Egypt has become more like a crisis where demonstrators continue their protests and calls for change all over Egypt, where the president persists on resuming his powers until the end of his term.


The Egyptian army has not intervened in demonstrations, and it has not protected them when supporters of the regime attacked them using different types of weapons.  The Egyptian president tried to take some actions to satisfy demonstrators like reshuffling the cabinet, changing some leaders of the ruling party including his son, but the demonstrators call for more change and want change in the government as a whole, including the president himself.


Egypt is still in crisis, as demonstrators are still protesting all over Egypt, and the president refuses to leave power.
