    EGYPT - THE WORLD SUPPORTS YOU !

    More than ever before our thoughts are with the people of Egypt
    on their biggest protest today.

    May it be successful Insha' Allah.
    God bless you all in your peaceful fight for freedom, democracy, humanity and peace.


    “Just one week after protests began in Egypt last Friday, scores of Egyptians plan to follow through with a "Day of Departure" on Friday, Feb. 4, 2011, Al Jazeera reported Thursday night.
    Opposition parties called for Feb. 4 to be a "Day of Departure" earlier this week…”

    1989 in Egypt
    Dear friends,

    At European Voice, the Economist's sister-paper in Brussels, the Wi(l)der Europe columnist has been pondering the lessons of 1989 http://www.europeanvoice.com/article/imported/important-less... for the protestors in Egypt which I find very interesting and would like to share with you:

    He cautions:
    <<It would be quite unfair to draw a direct comparison between Soviet rule in eastern Europe and US alliances in North Africa and the Middle East. The US did not invade these countries. It did not deport their elites to the wilds of Wyoming, in cattle trucks. It did not force them to learn English at gunpoint, ban religion or impose an alien economic and cultural system. Nor did it buttress its geopolitical interests with tanks. The Soviet Union did all those things, and more, in eastern Europe.>>

    But he also points out some perturbing parallels:
    <<One big lesson of revolutions is that they are easy to steal. The nimblest insiders from the old regime get their money out quickly, or launder their reputations. If the regimes fall in Yemen, Tunisia, Egypt and elsewhere, watch out for clever spooks and apparatchiks amid the fog, spreading rumours, manipulating events, while busily re-inventing themselves as lawyers, academics and businessmen.

    Sometimes the stealing is more straightforward (and not just because works of art in government buildings or museums can be pinched). Money will vanish from state and party coffers and head for Cyprus, Panama, or (if it is a really large amount) London. Power vanishes but turns into wealth. Then the wealth can buy back power, whether by investments in media or in donations to political parties. Money is democracy's Achilles heel.

    The biggest danger is that people want change but get chaos. Authoritarian regimes may be crooked behind the scenes, but they keep crime and violent disorder away from the citizenry. The eruption of gangsterism between the Baltic and Black seas after 1989 chilled many people's enthusiasm for the new order.>>
