Egypt and Tagheer

“Revolutions don’t always come out the way you want. The result could be further repression or something worse. I’m hoping the Egyptian people will have a government worthy of them.” – Prof. H. Bahoora

Tagheer means change in the Arabic language.

This is what the Egyptian people are fighting for the past few days.

I stand in this festival of the oppressed, supporting them who resist surrender. In this generation of indifference and apathy, I salute the Egyptian youth of my generation who are in the streets fighting for a better future.

I am not a fan of violence but political dynasty and tyranny makes peaceful revolution impossible. After 30 years of dictatorship, violent revolution is inevitable.

Change isn’t achieved overnight nor possible in one mutiny but change has to start somewhere, somehow.

National rebellion is a risk but no matter what the outcome will be, this revolution assures that Egypt will never go backward.

As Thomas Jefferson said,

Every generation needs a new revolution.

  2. dito rin siguro nagmula ung brand name na “tag heuer” Sometimes “change” is overrated. We were lauded way back in 1986-87 because of a bloodless revolution. Nevertheless, jubilation was shortlived… are we who now live in the era of such a change far better off? Or are we still enslaved by the same tyranny dressed in a more palatable, presentable guise… but still a tyranny nonetheless…
