Egypt, Sudan...On the highway to change.
It's the first time in years that we as the country of Egypt put our hand in the hands of our Sudani brothers. We've had our share of bad times, but Egypt and Sudan are two inseparable brothers, after all we were one country before. We are finally starting to take our leadership role in the middle east, not only the middle east but also the world. Change doesn't come in a year or two, it takes a while but it'll be much faster if we change ourselves. The people of Egypt have the power of will, and that is more valuable than any weapon their enemies have, and that's why the U.S. and Israel feared our revolution. It was very pleasing that Essam Sharaf decided to go to Sudan and fix what Mubarak and the people with him broke.

What Is Dictatorship?
Dictatorship is a lot of things, for example it is the abuse of one’s power or authority, or it can be the denial of the others’ rights. Dictators can be different people, not just corrupt presidents or kings; if your boss was unfair he’s a dictator, if your teacher was unfair he’s a dictator too, even your own father could be a dictator. You have the right to stand up to that person, no matter who he or she is, because if you don’t that means you handed him your rights on a plat of gold. What the new generation of Egyptians did is that they broke the borders of tradition, and the long wait; whenever an Egyptian was broken down by his regime he said wait or ‘usbur’ tomorrow will be better. The older generation is to blame for all of this, because they didn’t stand up 52 years ago and say no to corruption and instead they said the famous ‘wait’. We will always learn lessons from Egypt, and the Egyptian revolution could not deserve less respect than any other revolution in the world if not even more.
