Egypt Mubarak-era minister jailed for corruption

An Egyptian court on Sunday had Hosni Mubarak Cabinet minister decreed to three years in jail after declaring him of corruption.

A businessman and used to be tourism Minister Zohair Garanah has recently been executing a five-year jail term for enabling investors to illegally own state land. His first decree was passed by the Cairo court on the 10^th of May.

The Egyptian law states, he will render active service the longer of two sentences.

Garanah's most recent conviction came immediately after the sentencing on Thursday of steel magnate Ahmed Ezz to 10 whole years in jail right after his conviction of corruption. Ezz was a very forceful insider in Mubarak's now-ruined overcoming party and a trustworthy helper to Mubarak's younger son and only one-time heir visibly Gamal.

Egypt Revolution

In this article Mubarak step down from his prsidency in February 11, 2011. The mass protests worked as expected in a revolution. In March his military were still loyal to him and that led to more protests and violence. Tahrir Square, were the police and protesters fought violently and 1000 people were injured. The people protested about poverty, corruption and unfair elections of Mubarak's ruling. Many people suffered from this revolution and still fighting for their rights.

In my opinion Mubarak's companions before were still loyal to him after he resigned. Now that the military is in control, their government is still unstable and needs someone who really can rule them that will make their country better. If only people weren't corrupt or dumb there wouldn't people getting hurt.

The Egyptian Revolution-Konstantine Petrakis

In January 2011, The people of Eqypt broke into mass protests against the strict rule of President Hosni Mubarak. After losing support from the United States Military, Mubarak resigned ending 30 years of autocratic rule. Things didnt get better though. The military took over. People where still protesting complaining that the military was still loyal toMubarak's government. This lead to many protests in April. I feel that the military is being selfish with the power they have and trying to find ways of not sepparating it into branches of a democrating government as I believe they should. They are only upseting the people further. Mr. Mubarak failed in his duties as president and passed on similar traits to the current militarly rule. He killed protestors and was a corrupt leader! The people of Egypt deserve a say by way of Democracy.

Protests In Cairo Turn Voilent

In this article they talk about how during the revolution, there have been many protests that have turned ugly, such as this one which brought tens of thousands of people to Cairo's City square. they ended up tearing down a wall around the Israeli Embassy. 448 people were injured and 17 were arrested. In my opinion, this means that the egyptians are willing to do anything to anything to keep the revolution moving forward, even if that means, injuring people and wrecking Homes and businesses.

Egypt Secularists anb Liberals Afraid of Democracy

The Egypt Securalists and Liberals of Democracy is about Maj Gamel Abdel Nasser telling the army officers in a meeting on December 29th, 1952. This is in the country of Egypt in Africa. In the year 1952 Egypt's king Farouk was overthrown by Nasser and he was installed as Egypt's President. This happened because the parliament was dissloved, political parties were banned, basic freedoms were suspended, and the army dominated politics and Egypt lost it's freedom. What happened was that the brutal crackdown became significantly diminished and the local networks never went down til the mid 1970's and it was never destroyed. How it happened was that a stark of contrasts of 1952 of Islamnists are playing the role of the democrats and the liberals are calling the army to stay in power. This happened because the working class, yound, radical and charamastic Maj Gamel Abdel Nasser is 75 yrs old and under field marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi commands the democratic transition with special status of the military.

Every Revolution is Different

Much like what the Europeans did in 1848, the Arabs have started a revolution that is consisting of protests on their streets. They've began spreading around their message on their Communists withdrawing of several Soviets supporting dictators. By which, this lead to several changes within the Arab's economy, technology and the demographic views. These sorts of acts have been linked to similarities of the 1848 with several countries wanting to be independent. Examples of these like Hungary and France wanting to break free in order to being independent lead to heatfull protests that made an impact on how much they're willing to fight for their freedom of being self dependent. Which is why the Arabs tend to do the same to have a successfull and peacefull change in their country.

My opinion towards the Arab Revolution is that they should continue fighting for what they believe is right. Everyone should be valid with their own opinion and by not having their own democracy behind their people is an outcray for unpleased citizens of the Arab Community to act quickly and start these protests. This outcom if the Arab Community comes out victorious, can have a serious impact towards other countries just looking for that motivational push towards fighting for their democracy to be on their side.

Egypt News- Revolution and Aftermath http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/egypt/index.html?scp=2&sq=arab%

In January 2011, Egypt, erupted in mass protests. After 18 days of this protesting and loosing the U.S support Mr. Mubarak stepped down in Feburary. That ended 3o years of autocratic rule. The reason for this was to remove him from power and it happened. Throughout many months protests erupted being displeased with the progress. The people wanting elections were scared that a couple groups would get into power. This non political groups assured the people that they did not seek to be in power. Elections were held to reform the goverment. Also Mr. Mubarak is being tried for his brutal ways. Egypt still remains fragile and it will take time and effort for the people to recover from this terrible man. I believe that this is what had to be done and this man was crazy. He deserves to die and not be let free. I hope they find a good government everyone agrees on. That is what i think.
