Freedom

So Egypt is finally a free country , proving the power of non violence yet again . 18 days , thats all it took for a group of people to free themselves of a 30 yr long rule by a dictator who heard no voices and only believed in imprisoning people who didnt support him . This is surely power of the people , nonviolent but yet so powerful . They didnt need any army or bullets , all the needed was a determination and unity. The belief that what they were doing was right and in the best interests of their country ,no personal gains or motives , just plain simple freedom ,justice does prevail . When people unite for a common goal selflessly the largest dictators have to fall .That is the power a common man has , he doesnt need anything else just a motive and strong will.

I heard the interview by Wael Ghonim , the one who spearheaded these protests . A 30 year old manager at google ,what he said moved me .. ''I have a life , a job , a wife and kids but I am willing to give all of that up and die , because enough is enough ,we want freedom'' It totally reminded me of our freedom struggle so many years back when people did give up their lives for freedom , I take this moment to thank all of them for what we have today , and generations later people in Egypt will thank these people ..

History is made and I have witnessed it ... God bless Egypt.
