Dear Hala
Gorani
I was watching
your program on CNN at 9.30pm local time today, where you hosted a two Egyptians
discussing the political standoff in Egypt, I Admired what both of them said,
specially the girl as young as she is.
I wish to
comment on this by the following article.
To start I do
not know why are we discussing the Morsi issue here and now; he was
democratically elected, he did bad through one year of his presidency where
Egypt do not have the luxury of extended time. He did not provide a legitimate way of impeachment, and this act is the exact
definition of dictatorship; so he was removed.
Now Egypt has
another democratically elected president, weather he is doing well or doing bad
is actually the issue to be discussed now.
He has not yet
provided a parliament which is a first necessary step for providing some sort
of democracy, but then it has only been a month since his election; he did not
win elections over an economical plan, his steps on that score up until now were
not in the right direction like raising taxes to balance the budget instead of
cutting expenses, also taking the money from the hands of those who can provide
jobs and dumping it on the laps of the government where it is not helping
production; but then again it is only a month since he assumed presidency.
On the
political arena it is not Morsi or Sisi that matter, the only thing that matter
is that the economy advances.
Let me tell
you that democracy is not the target, it is rather the only known way for
countries to progress, and that one has to apply it as exactly as it was stated
in political science, checks and balances among every other aspect.
I know it is
difficult to grant freedom to the people, but I know as well that denying them
liberties and human rights always undermine the economy and the progress of a
country.
That is how
severe is the standoff in Egypt, not to mention that it is the only country
that has two presidents in jail.
