We have all been affected by the current events. I and my fiancée, who is a pharmacist, may break up. We got engaged in early January 2010 and agreed to get married two years later. Since then, revolutions have been breaking out, and stability seems an out of reach dream.

The current political situation is rough and unbalanced. It is as if the leaders and the governments were conducting experiments on us. We were surprised that an emergency law was imposed again, and even a curfew. This suggests confused leaders who are yet to establish a crisis management unit.

Using force to break up the sit-ins is a sign of weakness. Had there been strong institutions that followed-up these sit-ins from the outset and knew how to drain their sources, they would not have resorted to force. We all refuse using force in any sit-in since the Ministry of the Interior will no longer make a distinction between a peaceful sit-in with legitimate demands and a chaotic one that aims to burn Egypt.

I am against suppressing freedoms. Let us set a place for the sit-in right under the nose of security services and pursuant to the previously proposed laws. Only then could violators be punished. As for the Minister of the Interior’s statements about banning sit-ins once and for all, this is totally rejected.  So is dispersing them by force, unless they are unpeaceful.

I demand the government restore security and stability so that our future, trade and industry and consequently Egypt, can flourish away from the Brotherhood movement. This is why I say the future is bright provided that security is ensured. Security means tourism, economy, trade, investments, education, health – and most importantly, a sense of security.
