Egypt Revolution: Victory For Democracy?

Bravo Egyptians! You have proved again what a revolution can do. We have seen it quite a few times in world history.

When the masses come out in the streets demanding govt should go, options for the govt get extremely limited. As in Egypt case the govt did throw up their supporters to counter. Only that led to some violence in an otherwise peaceful opposition.

Hosni Mubarak and his govt had no choice when millions of citizens thronged Tahrir square giving him a deadline to resign. After the expiry of deadline the govt had to relent. There were resignations and for the first time main opposition parties were invited for talks with the government. Strategic considerations apart President Obama too recognized the mass upsurge and asked for inevitable change.

After thirteen days of unrest things are coming back to almost normal with revolutionaries observing martyrs day in honor of those dead. Now, follow up events are most important so that democratic values are kept high and the great people effort does not go in vain.

We wish all the luck for Egypt and the great Egyptian revolutionaries. When people want change, nobody can deny them that. The powerful ones should learn the lessons one more time.
