Check out my newest article:
The world is watching Egypt fall to protests as the streets of Cairo and Alexandria fill with people calling for change.
The Middle East is on fire; in Tunisia, the president resigned after 29 days of rioting. This “Jasmine Revolution” has spread from Tunisia across North Africa to Egypt, Yemen, Algeria, Sudan, Jordan and Morocco. Egypt is front and center in this maelstrom.
Despite what some may say, this is not another Islamic revolution. There is nothing wrong with religious people acting for civic engagement and civil rights, but these protests are not religious in nature. Egyptians are fed up with a 30-year-old military regime that does not deliver economic prosperity with job security, is plagued by rigged elections and oppresses its political opponents.
Protests began in Egypt on Jan. 25 and have continued since, resulting in a near blackout condition in which Twitter and Facebook were blocked and people were subjected to a 3 p.m. to 7 a.m curfew. By Jan. 28, the entire Egyptian Internet was shut down, police were absent in Cairo, looting began and residents organized nightly neighborhood watch groups to protect one another. Tanks and soldiers filled the streets, while thousands of protesters gathered by day, and broke curfew at night.
