it has been more than a week since the protest in Egypt marched in the Tahrir Square demanding the 30 years old in power Egypt president to leave the government. This kind of turmoil is not only happening in Egypt but also happening in some of the country in middle east asking the government to reform.
it is really interesting how all this event triggered by the revolution in Tunisia. What i would like to emphasize is not the situation in Egypt because i have no knowledge the 'real 'situation there but i 'll telling you what i have been thinking since this event occurred and what would be happened to the world as the people in middle east rise to fight for their rights.
i could say that this revolutions are mostly because of the lack of government' s integrity and responsibility. The socio-economy marginalization had been the major factor that cause people, mostly young people to go protest calling for change in the government. the poor becomes poorer, the rich become richer which cause uneven distribution of economy cake.
The growing protest in the Egypt as far as i concern is not only because of the tyranny being in power for decades but the increasing of unemployment rate, raising food and fuel price and the others increasing economic and social problems in that country. i believe what people want are the reformation of politic and economic structure so that here will be a better future for them.
this mideast revolutions could be viewed as a reflection of people revolutions in 1940s to 1970s in most country in Asia. On that day, people in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and etc. awoke to fight for their freedom from imperialism. People suddenly realized that government or that time 'imperialists' oppressed the citizen, used and exploited them to gather their own 'gold' and denied people rights, education and economy opportunity.
but today people are fighting for their freedom from a new kind of power or colonialism. today there are no more physically settlements and political control in the colonized countries but there are mentally presence in the government by controlling the people minds. the objective is still the same although the tools are different, it is to get everything that they want. Guess guys, what is today's tools to conquer one country? yeah. it is what in your mind. mass media control.
Now as most of the citizens in Mideast wake up and asking for reformations, this new kind of power becoming afraid and paranoid to this uprising of people. With no strong proves and arguments, they are trying to stop the uprising and denying democracy. this new power is using their influential and tools, try to establish what they want by install the people who will support their ideology and needs by being their puppet . but, today it can be seen that they have no control over this new event and this is what they are afraid of.
the current movement is still ambiguous for the world . the directions and the effects of the movement still could not be foreseen but at least im happy that there are some changes in the Mideast and really hope it will lead the world to a better future.
ps: "Truly, God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.” (Quran 13:11)
