Democracy in Egypt

             Democray in Egypt.
             In the past few decades,Egypt has been suffering from a great decline in virtually every department of human needs.While governments fell and others arised,rulers came and rulers gone,nothing actually had changed,poverty grown worse,people become more exhausted and frustrated by their increasing needs and even social injustice[wich was the main reason for the revolution to break out] remained the same[if not worse] and all that brings us to an important question,why does all this happen to a country that is blessed with one of the most richest soil ever existed? And why people are not satisfied and in the same time not publicly complaining?.
             While people might have suffered under the reign of the former egyption monarchy for some social injustice,people equally suffered under the reign of the so-called revolutionists [or we can rather say millitary renegades] from a great inquisition that overshadowed the spanish one[only that one was for political beleifs not the religous ones!] in terms of brutality and policy.Just for the record,Egypt had never been blessed by a truly democratic rule[and I mean never].Since the dawn of time from the days of the pharaos to our current days,the egyptian people have never seen real democracy and if you wanted a proof just ask why their wasn't any civilian president to rule the country since the 1952 military coup and you will faced with the usual charge of treason and lose your whole life in the process,or how about the fact that every president that ruled the country had never steped off his chair until he dies?[as if it was a monarchy,only with no heirs] And after all that the average person must remain silent and forget about his rights in this country as a citizen to complain to his government and you still call it a democracy!.
