Suffering in Egypt Due to an Abuse of Power

Almost a year ago, Egypt broke into civil unrest when protesters flooded Tahrir Square, demanding the end of Hosnia Mubarak’s regime. Although Mubarak stepped down within two weeks, Egypt is worse off today than it was last January. The Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF), which played a vital role in the January revolution, has now become a violent and oppressive force. On the twenty-ninth of December 2011, the SCAF raided seventeen Egyptian, German, and US run NGOs in search of proof of illegal foreign funding.1 In a statement (A/HRC/18/NGO/77) submitted by the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies (CIHRS), the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights (EOHR), and the Center for Egyptian Women’s

Slavery has been around since the beginning of mankind. Slavery is believed to have been practiced since the start of civilization but most importantly the start of agriculture. Introducing agriculture was the beginning of farming, growing, planting crops, and rearing animals to provide food and wool. Slavery played a huge role in agriculture because the slaves were the main force behind all of the farming, construction of the pyramids, and maintenance of the crops around their civilization. Agriculture required a huge labor force and who better to utilize besides the lower classes and war captives to do the dirty work. Slaves were considered to be the lower class, the peasants, they did a lot of work for the king and or the wealthy in their

There exist now groups that counter-protest us almost everywhere we go, blocking our message from being seen by the maximum number of people possible. Members of the Church have been arrested for legally picketing. Furthermore, within a year of beginning our protests at military funerals, a federal law was passed banning protesting at funerals held on federal property. Within two years of us beginning military funeral protests, over forty states have passed legislature restricting our ability to picket at funerals. Our most important way of transmitting our message is becoming diluted. In addition, with the introduction of new legislation specifically prohibiting our actions, funding from lawsuits may suffer. Travelling around the country to picket at funerals has never been economical, but with the message being passed on less with all these restrictions, it seems even less so. Although it is very recent – and that they are false prophet worshipping fools – this movement being touted as the “Arab Spring” shows the power of these social media tools. Protesters have been using text messaging to gather thousands to join their rally in mere hours, and their ideas are spreading rapidly via services like Facebook and Twitter. The Sodomizers are using social media to further their agenda, spreading their agenda to the young via these sites;

For example, victims of these restrictions are activists for human rights. That living in fear makes the face of justice in Vietnam is getting worse because the freedom of expression is limited. Social media (television, radio, publication, composition, etc.) are strictly watched by the communists. While the government does not allow the truth be revealed to the national media, many bloggers use the internet to express their opinions; and this activity draws the government’s focus on the bloggers. Every year, several individuals are imprisoned or expelled from the country because of their public voices for justice. The Amnesty International calls them the “prisoners of conscience.” Annually, the Secretary General of the Amnesty International writes the letter to the president of Vietnam to call for the release of these prisoners. There are 82 of them on the call of September 2016. The clouds of fear are overshadowing somehow.

One of my main reasons why I am against the coup is that president Morsi was placed under arrest for killing his own people which is something I find hard to believe. Why would Morsi kill his own people after the Mubarak dictatorship? After all Morsi was elected by the people of Egypt and he is the people’s

The corruption after the re-election was devastating. “You can say I never knew or experienced any other regime, I can summarize it in one word CORRUPTION in everything in our life,” said Hanan. The government has a tight grip on the people. Hanan explained the difficulty,“I know I can't do any legal governmental paper work without paying a bribe. If not it will take longer or might not [get] done.” Many opposing political figures and young activists became imprisoned without trials. The State Security Intelligence (SSI) kept the Egyptians locked in fear for years. The Emergency law allowed the SSI to violate human rights of the accused without a trial. The government maintained control over many of Egypt's primary economic levers such as banking, tourism oil, the Suez Canal, manufacturing, media, etc. These government employees are underpaid wreaking havoc on Egypt's economy, rapidly dissolving the middle class.

Did you know that the language Egyptians made was called Hieroglyphs. Well,In ancient Egypt their language was made of pictures not letters like how it is now. Great achievements are not worth great injustices because they wouldn’t get treated correctly, they would be tired and lastly they had to do things for the pharaohs which also caused them to be hungry and dirty .

Summary: A popular Egyptian cartoonist by the name of Islam Gawish was arrested on Sunday while at work at the Egypt News Network by the Interior Ministry of Egypt. They claimed that he was

A perfect storm of unfavorable conditions laid the foundation for political unrest in the Middle East that would eventually ignite a pattern of revolutions in the region known as the Arab Spring. Although there are many components that comprised the desire for revolution, it was worsening economic conditions that played the vital role in beginning and driving these uprisings. Egypt’s January 25th uprising provides a classic example. Long hailed as a model for its implementation of economic neoliberal policies by many institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), it may seem ironic that Egypt’s economic conditions were such a catalyst for the uprising. Yet, it was the neoliberal policies of Egypt that brought about conditions for economic unrest. The

Civil disobedience has always been a powerful weapon in the fight for social justice and human rights, whether on the forefront of rights based on race, gender, or sexual orientation or for freedom from oppression, security, unemployment and food prices as those states involved in the Arab Spring. Overturning a corrupt ruler, whose leadership leaves people in extreme poverty and hunger, eventually leading to bloody battles as the people turn against their government? We often look at these countries in social and political turmoil and ask ourselves, “why do they not take care of the problems themselves?” However as we begin to investigate the issues further, we learn the people of the country are indeed the first to react. They have answered and with moral fortitude, as they question their government. It is during these times the world often learns of the true turmoil that has afflicted the countries.

In 2010, Wael Ghonim was an ordinary, young professional living in Dubai. While browsing through his social media content, he randomly stumbled upon a gruesome photograph of a young man who had been beaten to death by the Egyptian Police. That one glance and that one brief moment sculpted Ghonim’s mission in life. Infuriated by the brutality displayed, Ghonim created a Facebook page dedicated to the deceased individual in Egypt. “Today they killed Khaled,” he wrote. “If I don’t act for his sake, tomorrow they will kill me.” It took a few moments for Ghonim to settle on a name for the page, one that would fit the character of an increasingly personalized and politically galvanizing Internet. He finally decided on “Kullena Khaled Said”-“We Are All Khaled Said” (Vargas, 2012). Within minutes, a hundreds of people sharing his emotions and frustration joined the page. That number soon escalated to two hundred and fifty thousand. “We Are All Khaled Said” became a revolutionary chant that brought thousands of Egyptians on the streets of Cairo to host a mass

Under that ‘state of emergency’, the government has the right to imprison individuals for any period of time, and for virtually no reason, thus keeping them in prisons without trials for any period. The political police may use intimidation, arbitrary arrest, torture and execution. It infiltrates other coercive agencies of the state, such as the regular police and the armed forces, to ensure their compliance. ” this state of emergency causing strong dissatisfaction of Egyptian, the citizens live under monitoring and political terror, human rights and political rights could not be gained.

The 2011 uprising in Egypt was in many ways a traditional brick-and-mortar revolution, but with a cyber-twist to it: based on their statistical analysis of a large body of tweets related to the 2011 uprising in Egypt, Starbird and Palen (2012) observed that activists used Twitter as an important tool to share ideas and information with like-minded people, because Twitter allows a high number of activists interact using its retweet and other mechanisms. In this case, Twitter was used among participants and supporters of a traditional mass movement to bypass government controlled

A revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests (both violent and non-violent), riots, and civil wars in the Arab World that began on 18 December 2010, later gained the heading “The Arab spring”. The Arab spring began by a twenty six year old boy named Mohammed Bouazizi was getting ready to sell fruits and vegetables in a rural town of Sidi Bouzid Tunisia. Bouazizi was the primary supporter for his widowed mother and six of his siblings. The entire incident originated when the police officer asked bouazizi to hand over his wooden cart, he refused the police women allegedly slapped him after being publicly humiliated bouazizi marched in front of a government building and set himself on fire. The Jasmine revolution in Tunisia, the shock wave swept across the country which threatened the stability of this oil-rich region with repercussion felt internationally. After the world witnessed what happened in Tunisia, it caused a spilled over into most of the Arab countries. Such as Egypt, Libya Syria and Yemen. Aim of this paper is to show that the current situation corollary of decades of failed policies, exacerbated by an unsolicited foreign intervention. The extensive consequences, I will argue, require cautious attention and careful management from international communities as well as the Arab human rights committee. This paper seeks to explore the profound causes that prompted the so called “Arab awakening” and the covert hidden agenda behind the sudden pro democratic

Justice System in Egypt and the United States are similar in many ways. Egypt Justice System bases its criminal code on British, Napoleon, and Italian models. There are three main categories of crime in Egypt law; they are minor offenses, misdemeanors and felonies. Egypt law requires that a detained
