By Micah Halpern
Wednesday April 21, 2010 I've Been Thinking: A movement for democracy is gaining ground in Egypt. They fear arrest, or worse, they fear being murdered by the regime. Despite the warm relationship Egypt has with the United States and with the West, we must always remember that Egypt is a dictatorship. That is something the pro-democracy movement knows well. Yesterday, a small group of some 30-40 protestors gathered in front of the Parliament in central Cairo. They had been warned in advance not to assemble, but they came anyway. They held up signs reading "Shoot Us" and "Shoot US with Bullets." The protest ended peacefully. Egypt is the midst of serious crisis for its future. At this point, there is no way to know what will happen, but Egypt warrants careful watching. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. 4 June 2017 12:13 PM in Thoughts
