What happen?


Thousand of Egyptians crowed Cairo's Tahrir square one year after the revolution had started. At times the mood in the square was somber and tense amid fears that violence could break out between protesters and the military. At Tahrir square many people held banners, and yelled at the protesters and military, but some celebrated the anniversary and said Egypt has progressed since Mubarak's ouster. Tahrir Square was packed with different groups of people, including members of the Muslim Brotherhood and those who had lost family members. Ever since January 25, 2011 the Egyptians have been fighting for their rights, and there still are.

Why did it happen /how did it happen?

The people filled Tahrir Square to celebrate that Hosni Mubarak had stepped down. Hosni Mubarak is an Egyptian politician and former military officer who served as the fourth President (30 years) of Egypt from 1981 to 2011 he is 82 years old. Which he continued to elect himself for president. The Egyptians weren't happy about Hosni Mubarak as he treated people like slaves. On May 24, 2011, Mubarak was ordered to stand trial in Cairo on charges of premeditated murder of protestors during the January revolution. After three decades in power, Hosni Mubarak was forced to step down from his position of being president . After Hosni stepped down, the supreme council of armed forces (Scaf) stepped in and they said they would give Egypt democracy but they didn’t. Instead the military was nondemocratic, and brutal, like Hosni Mubarak. They are still controlling Egypt.

My opinion

My opinion is that the supreme council of armed forces should stop lying. Also give the people of Egypt democracy because they deserve to have rights instead treated like a slave. Also they should stop all the violence of shooting, fighting. They should give Democracy!
