Photo Essay: Faces of Egypt

You are here: Home / Middle East / Egypt / Photo Essay: Faces of Egypt

//  by Lisa 4 Comments

 

With Egypt in the news, I wanted to share some photos of friendly faces I encountered there during my visit there in January 2009.

To bring you up to speed on recent events:

  • Tens of thousands of anti-government demonstrators have taken to the streets demanding an end to President Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year rule.
  • Protests started weeks after similar protests in Tunisia which caused their president to flee the country
  • In 1979, Egypt was the first Arab nation to sign a peace treaty with Israel cementing its relationship with the U.S.
  • Egypt has received annual aid from the U.S. averaging around $2 billion since.
  • The U.S. Embassy in Cairo is now closed indefinitely

    In a perfect world, the people would get the democracy they thirst for there. Time and again we see that it's fundamental to people to want to make their own choices, even when sometimes they don't take full advantage of their privilege and civic duty to make those choices. They still want it and want it badly; even the right to make a bad choice sometimes. Hopefully Mr. Mubarak will get the message and leave peacefully and a stable transitional government can be in place until free and fair elections can take place. This is definately worth praying for!
