| No to despair
I can claim that the people who could live with the rule of Hosni Mubarak will tolerate today's article.
After a few hours, the name of the elected president of Egypt will be declared. I believe that those who supported Shafiq in the first round of elections will not let him fail; however, I hope I will be mistaken.
On Thursday June 16, it seemed that everything was perfectly prepared in anticipation to the ruling of the Constitutional Court. Police and military forces received orders to surround the Parliament. At noon, the court issued its ruling to dissolve the Parliament. Nobody expected that the court would issue such a serious ruling in two weeks.
A few hours before issuing the court ruling, the ruling was printed in the government press and published in the official gazette in order to be immediately executed. While police forces were preventing MPs from entering the parliament, the Minister of Justice issued a decision giving military police and intelligences the power to arrest civilians. I wonder what the difference is between such a decision and the emergency law.
Some said that what happened was a conspiracy while others said that the revolution has been 'assassinated'. On the other hand, some people said that what happened was merely coincidence. But the honest and faithful citizens will never give up their efforts to achieve the best interests of their country.
