Regardless of the election and even its results, Egypt
may presently appear immersed in an autocratic scenario that
reverberates to the old days and perhaps rings bells all too familiar;
leaving any left-over fight for change very little room to manoeuvre.
The principles
that led a revolution hoping to make Egypt a land served by the
Military rather than controlled or even oppressed by it may well have to
realign themselves to a more ambivalent structure or risk dying a
slow death.
Many
will see this as a good thing and the whole nation has indeed been
undergoing a conditioning and reprogramming of mind sets: Unless there
is complete and unequivocal compliance with the ruling party then
that may well be perceived as treason. The term 'security of the state' serves as a panic button for the nation. Many feel that this constitutes
the following: either cheer or keep silent.
Whether the rich will
continue to get richer and the poor just a little poorer we have yet to
wait and see. Perhaps that over many another factor will play the key part in determining Egypt's dimmer switch light.
We
live in hope and hope any fears of turbulent times to come may prove
unnecessary ones, however fears do exist if only because of the butterfly
that flutters simply because it can't sit still.
The attached link is a comprehensive sum-up of the present and possibly the near future.
