The revolutionary young man said: The memory of January 25 has returned, and we are experiencing pain, Doctor, for the loss of our hope and the end of our dream.
I said: My children, pain and suffering polish souls and make coals of diamonds. The lesson is in accumulating experience and learning from mistakes, not crying over what has passed or wailing over what could have been. The January 25 revolution, in its early days, was an uprising, in which history will write a lot of purity and true expression of the people’s desire for dignity, pride, and change for the better. Another young man said: I saw you on the first day of the revolution on television with Mona El-Shazly, and in the presence of Dr. Osama Al-Ghazali and others say: We have to listen to the youth, not confront them. We have to absorb their anger and their hopes, not attack them.. This encouraged me, and you were one of the leaders of the ruling party, to take to the field with a positive energy. The sad young woman said: “But we were deceived by many of those around us, who came as a trainee in Eastern Europe, and who came out of my brothers in disguise, and who came out as an intelligence agent, and we did not ask ourselves about food, drink, accommodation expenses, and signs from where. We did not ask ourselves who would organize, enter, exit, divide and write slogans, and I only wanted the pleasure of human presence with the Egyptians to express our desire for delayed change and freedom, which I thought was bound, until now I lived in more chains, less freedom, specific expression and fear of just gathering and speaking in Politics and accusations fitted. It is as if we made a revolution to guide it to political Islam.” Another young man said: For hours, I feel that the people are being punished for the January revolution, so that it will never have its like again. One of those around me rose up and said: “It is we. We were wrong. I was 24 years old at the time of the revolution, and now I am over thirty, my case is to find a decent job with a higher salary, an apartment to live in, and a small family that I can support, and I do not want revolutions and I do not want uprisings.” I smiled at them, saying: Everything you say is right and wrong at the same time. January 25 was a people’s uprising, and it had to end with a fundamental change in the way the country was run. The lesson that I learned is that revolutions happen when there is no hope of bringing about movement and change that touches the reality of the masses’ need through legitimate means. The revolution is, in the academic definition, an illegal act against an existing regime.. If it succeeds, the regime becomes criminal, accused and guilty, and if it fails, the revolutionaries become criminals and out of the system. Heroes and criminals change places because it is the victors who write history. The reality of life that I believed in and my belief in after January was confirmed is that sometimes we need a shake and awakening, but we do not need demolition and chaos. Good governance allows for change from within, with a declared vision, and allows for the peaceful transfer of power without revolutions.. Good governance listens to those who disagree with it, and negotiates with those who have a different point of view, and it needs experts and political advisors to do this for him and for him. And the security institutions must protect that, not prevent it, because they do not protect a specific existing system or a person in particular, but rather protect a state in which regimes change. Another young man said: But we are losing hope little by little, and the youth groups that came close to power took the chance, and those who did not are thwarted. Another young woman with a political tendency and affiliation with a political party said: “The Future of a Homeland Party is attended by conservatives, and it enjoys support, funding and support, as if it were the ruling party. Indeed, many of us are under pressure to join it, otherwise we will lose the advantages that the state offers to young people.” I said: Listen and listen, that the political vacuum is a great danger, if it is not filled by a conscious political movement and parties that can obtain seats in Parliament, it will be filled by chaos or political Islam organizations with their various wings, and we will return to the zero point. Any void in society will be accommodated in some way. When the state failed in urban planning, the void was filled with informal settlements, and when the level of education decreased and the state made a mistake in making the certificate, not knowledge and skill, the goal, the void was filled with private lessons and corruption, and the educational equation entered the curricula of extremism and the human structure was disrupted, and when the state did not achieve and provide citizens with respectable public transportation To fulfill their needs, they fill the void of tuk-tuks, service, and chaos.. Thus in every field, even in our family life, if school, university and home do not fill the lives of children and youth with sports, practice and fun, competitions and artistic and cultural activity, addiction and extremism will fill the void. Therefore, the intervention of the state with its apparatus to fill the political vacuum at this stage was necessary and understandable, but it is a phased intervention, and it must understand that it is not sustainable, and that the balance between regulation and control requires minds and philosophy and not just procedures. I am confident that the next three years will witness a positive dialogue between the parties, because Egypt is beautiful and possesses the elements of a civilization whose metal appeared at the beginning of the January 25 revolution and on June 30, and because it fills me with confidence that the country’s leadership, as its awareness of the danger to Egypt’s security appeared, has the awareness to see the importance of the transition To the modern civil state that we seek and the peaceful transfer of power, and that this is not done by repeating the same political mistakes while waiting for different results.. Guys.. Our beautiful country needs positive energy that you are its source, and it needs participation and construction in all its spectrums, and the picture is not complete in one color but rather In multiple colours.
