A clear-eyed inside view of Egypt's dictatorship.

Every Egyptian apparently knew the results of the elections beforehand; I would say that 90% of the registered votes did not go to the polls [on 9/7/05]. Any Egyptian citizen can write long list for the violations committed since the so-called election process has started, that is summarized in one phrase; “my vote won’t make a difference”. The amendment of the article 76 of the constitution by the president after the May 25 Referendum to allow multiple presidential candidacy, uncovered the real intention and the nature of the dictatorship of Egypt.

May 25, the famous Referendum Day comes, and instead of listening to the people, the thugs of the Egyptian ministry of the interior beat and rape women in the streets of Cairo, ripping their clothes into shreds. This is the language our regime prefers to talk to us with. The incident of beating civilians with brutality occurred more than once since May 25 and until Election Day and only because Egyptians dared to freely express their opinion.

The Egyptian people had attempts to write their first constitution in 1880 and 1907.

It is worth mentioning here the illiteracy rate in Egypt at that time was over 90% which did not hamper them to think with dignity and love for our beloved Egypt. The 1919 Egyptian Revolution was the only revolution worldwide that produced a true liberal experience among revolutions in the 20th century. All peer revolutions were either socialist, communist…etc. The Egyptian constitution was written before the constitution of the country of the largest democracy in the 21st century that's India.

For the dream of freedom, I will continue to be vocal and outspoken about my rights and others. If the election game came to an end, then the battle has just started. Free-willed Egyptians will definitely win because they have a cause. Humans are not created to be slaves for power-thirst lunatics. We are born free.

I love you, my Egypt.

Is this the Promised Democracy? Freedom for Egyptians.

The promise of democracy in Egypt is taken seriously. You have to appreciate the author's sophisticated appreciation of the ways in which elections are manipulated.

The problems of the Muslim world are not limited to the influence of Islamic obscurantism. Simple thuggery plays a part.
