2011 Egypt Revolution

In the year of 1981 after the assassination of President Anwar El Sadat, Hosni Mubarak took place in the government as the new president of Egypt. After 30 years Mubarak became the most extended and continuous president in the history of Egypt, it was so persistent his power that he was compared to a Pharaoh. Never the less, in the year 2011, Egypt media was establishing that it was time for the president to lend the power to someone else than can handle the future of the country. But since the power was motivated to be inherence, Gamal Mubarak, the younger son of Hosni, was considered a candidate for supplying his father and rule Egypt following his same dictation.

Considering the news, several political groups in both sides, announced their sharp opposition to the inheritances of power. They protested and demanded a fair election with more than one candidate. During this age Egypt was suffering from a brutal era in which people was torture and arrested in long-term detention by the police, all cause by an emergency law placed for counterattacking terrorism threats and as a excuse the Muslim Brotherhood (Hosni election competitors).

According to a report from the U.S. Embassy in Egypt, police brutality has been common and widespread in Egypt.  In the five years prior to the revolution, the Mubarak regime denied the existence of torture or abuse carried out by the police. However, many claims by domestics and international groups provided evidence through cellphone videos or first-hands accounts of hundreds of cases of police abuse.

Even though the Egyptian constitution provides for the universal freedom of speech, the government has frequently sanctioned home raids, torture, arrests, and fining of bloggers and reporters that criticize the government in any way. As this was turning into aapocalypse, the government had the right to censor anything if it is considered a threat to public safety and national security. If any reporter or blogger violates this law by criticizing the government, they could be legally penalized with a fine of 20,000 pounds and up to five years in prison.

After 1 year of suffering and been oppress by the government the entire mass population that were in prison, got formal liberty by the Ministry of Interior. The “army” of protestantstart attacking Mubarak government with string opposition and reliable arguments of his lack of contribution to their country. Massive protests continued in many cities as the people continue to refuse the concessions announced by Mubarak. Finally, at 6:00 pm local time, Suleiman announced Mubarak’s resignation, entrusting the Supreme Council of Egyptian Armed Forces with the leadership of the country.
