Egypt in Transition
We won’t really know what is next until it actually happens. From watching things unfold these last several days both on Aljazeera and Egyptians on the ground on Twitter, I will attempt to give my <b>opinion</b> of what may happen.
The military from the beginning stated they would not use force against the Egyptian people. So far, with a few possible exceptions, they have kept their word.
The military is in charge and will set up some sort of transitional government. Whether it will be a military tribunal or a civilian unity council, I don’t know. I would hope for the later. We will know in the next few hours (or days). The military has thus far said little, but have implied that they will be guided by the desires of the people.
The people hated the regime, but they love their Army. The Egyptian people showed that they could unify, Christians, Muslims, Secularists.
While the people celebrate today, they are going no where until they have answers as to what is next. They will not accept another dictator whether secular, Muslim, or military.
“The Egyptian people showed that they could unify, Christians, Muslims, Secularists.”
Something that Americans have yet to do. Even now, many of our fellow Americans cannot come to grips with the thought of anything decent ever happening in The Middle East.
I hope they give us a good example to look up to. If they can figure out how to unify an entire country, then we might be able to so as well. We live in exciting times.
