Throughout history, many species needed to be guided by a leader. Those leaders have to make the decision for everyone. Whether it’s good or bad, the followers will have to pay the price. Those leaders treated some better than other’s which created a gap of inequality. Egypt is one of the most historical countries that kept being led by leader known as pharaoh. Today, that title has been moderated to president. Trough time, Egyptians were led by dishonest leaders who brought misery to the country. These corrupted leaders make the relationship between the Egyptians followers live unequally? In my opinion it does because if they do make a mistake, the followers will have to pay the price.
To begin, Hosni Mubarak triggered inequality in the

After Mubarak Fall, the military started governing the state. They promised that changes would occurs but the only change that did happened was changed of governor which is a small fraction of the picture. In the bigger picture, the regime that Mubarak made was still standing. Those who were able to see the entire picture revolted for the second time a The square demanding change but not everyone was agreeing since they do not see what other see. In the end the rebellion was a failure since this time the regime to action. They took action against their human right by invading The Square with thugs and police. Some were arrested and brought to unknown location to brutally get tortured. Torturing people will not solve any problem instead it will provoke more people. In fall 2011, there was another rebellion happened with fewer people. As we know there were two brotherhoods that kept revolting against the system. The Muslim and the Christians which treated another equally until this rebellion in which leaders of the Muslim brotherhood started negotiating the regime. The other brotherhood kept revolting and lost many people during that event. At some point, they even got teargassed and ran over by tanks. Instead of showing these things to the world, the media only shows the good side of the regime. Not only that but the military promised the citizens that no violence would be used towards them. In this bloodshed, the …show more content…
The new leader objective was to benefit the Muslim brotherhood which made the greater inequality. Rather than fix the social injustice that his followers lived for decade, he gave himself special authority which Mubarak would never think of doing. In August, he cancelled the SCAF's constitutional declaration. He also forced defense minister and SCAF chairman Hussein Tantawi to retire, along with his deputy, Sam Enan. Some 70 top military generals followed them out to pasture. Morsi had stood up to the most powerful institution in Egypt and prevailed. At the end of 2012, Morsi triggered another rebellion by his decree on a new constitution which will immune him to all juridical laws. As he tries to get the title of pharaoh rebellion burst at the Tahrir Square. The result were obvious, around 90% of the population are in the Muslim brotherhood and the minority who are the Christians and exiled Muslims are the pillars of justice who reject the constitution. At the start of 2013, Morsi was treated as a pharaoh.At his anniversary of presidency, the nation regroups at the symbol of peace, the square to remove once again a corrupt leader. A petition of over 22milions citizens was signed to remove Morsi. Eventually, the symbol of inequality was once again

The Egyptian revolution was started like any other revolution; the people had a problem with the unfairness of the government. Hosni Mubarak had been in power for 30 years nearly half a lifetime of control. There were multiple attempts to remove him from power, but they were stopped with military force. Near the end of his rule he began to express excessive control of the politics of his people. Declaring that no religious associated groups would be able to hold any political power, with this law he eliminated his biggest rival, the Muslim Brotherhood. Up until 2005 Mubarak did not allow for anyone to run against him as president. He only had a vote for his approval to stay in office. With other opponents running he rigged the elections and
The Egyptian January 2011 revolution initially created hopes that a genuine process of Egyptian democratization would take off under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood, a religious, political and social movement. The June 2012 presidential elections, brought the group’s candidate, Mohamed Morsi, in office. While in power the Muslim Brotherhood kept and enforced many laws and articles from the old regime to maintain control of the country. The continuation of torture and murder behind bars under the Muslim Brotherhood disqualifies it as a rebellion as Camus clarifies, “to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limit it discovers in itself”( Camus 22). On June 26, 2013, El Nadim Center for Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence, published a report in which it described torture during the first year of Brotherhood rule as “widespread and systematic.” “ The report documented 359 cases of torture and 217 cases of torture-related deaths over the period from June 30, 2012, to May 31, 2013” (Selim 193). The transgression in Muslim Brotherhood regime through the use of violence to punish it opponents oversteps the boundaries of a rebel. The main complaint of the Egyptians citizens was that the Muslim Brotherhood failed to live to its promise to get rid of authoritarianism and put Egypt on a path toward democracy. Under
The Nile River was a true miracle to early Egyptians. It runs in northeast Africa through the center of Egypt (Doc A). It flows into the Mediterranean Sea up north (Doc A). The Nile has two main water sources - Lake Tana, originating in the highlands of Ethiopia flowing into the Blue Nile which empties into the Nile, and Lake Victoria, flowing into the White Nile carrying water to the Nile River (Doc A). It is located between the Western Desert and the Eastern Desert (Doc A). The Nile ran through ancient Egypt, giving early Egyptians all necessities to life. It was considered holy by early people (Doc B). Festivals were even held for the life it provided (Doc B). The Nile River shaped ancient Egypt by providing all required
Ancient Egypt had a “class” system. At the top was the pharaoh, or divine leader, and his family followed by the vizier, and then government officials, nobles, and priests. Below the priests soldiers, then scribes followed by merchants. After merchants were craftsmen and artists followed by fishermen and farmers, and at the bottom of all: the slaves, servants, and prisoners.

The Egyptian military coup took place on July 3, 2013. Before this time, Egypt was under the leadership of Mohammed Morsi from the Freedom and Justice Party. Mr.Morsi was the first freely democrat elected president in the history of Egypt. Immediately after engineering the coup, the military leaders suspended the constitution and endorsed Adly Mansour as the temporary acting president. Even though observers clearly pointed out that the action by the military constituted a coup, the US government was reluctant to term it a coup. According to Reuters (par. 6), a US congressional delegation paid a visit to Egypt in January 2014, where they concluded that the country was on th...

He was trying to control the country to the fact that he was training his son Gamal to take over the country in case his dad died or when he gets old and can’t lead anymore. In the book, Cleveland and Bunton described Egypt’s government under President Mubarak a corrupt and stagnant country during the year 1990 and 2000 (Cleveland & Bunton, 2017, p.540). Egypt was under dictatorship leadership. President Mubarak made it difficult for other people to run for presidency or to be voted into the office. He even forgot about his liberal views that got him in the office and adopted the one party one leader rule (Cleveland & Bunton, 2017,
It was clear that revolution was not what all the people wanted. Some people still supported the shah and his ideas. Shah’s supporters organized a protest in Tabriz. On the other hand, the king still had his love for people and ordered the anti-riot police not to use deadly
Did you know that people in ancient Egyptians suffered while making the monuments? Well, in ancient Egypt when peasants made the structures, they suffered in extreme weather, lacked energy, and had to eat with hands that are not clean, and they had to do this everyday.In these conditions, great achievements are not worth great injustices because the people had to suffer through pain, exhaustion, and starvation.
Egypt has been thru an extremely rough, deadly and horrific revolution and it is still not over. However, it all started with a corrupt government not abiding by basic human, economic and property rights. Which then lead to a series of large protests. There was a large suicide bombing of a church that killed 21 people and injured 79, this bombing left many Christians completely livid and sent them on a rampage in Cairo. This bombing sort of sparked the revolution in Egypt. On February 11, 2011 President Mubarak announced that he was going to step down and the army council was going to take over, this happened because of the countless protests of people fighting, screaming and getting arrested for the President to do so. Many other protests and political moves occurred between the beginning of the revolution and now, but the current situation in Egypt consists of two conflicting things that they need to work out, one is that they need to restore economic stability. The other is that they need to create new jobs and make living out of poverty possible for the 26% that are living in it right now and the other 49% that can’t supply the basic the basic need for
The Tunisian Revolution, for example, resulted in the successful ousting of Tunisian President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and his oppressive regime, which then galvanized many Egyptians to seek independence from their own authoritarian government with deplorable characteristics of its own (Zayed par. 12). Seeing that many of the Tunisian complaints were identical to their own, residents of Suez, Egypt, grew increasingly critical of their government’s faults, such as the 10.4% unemployment rate, widespread governmental corruption, and excessive use of police torture, and refused to remain compliant to state demands (Dziadosz par. 5). This developing sense of defiance towards the government spread throughout the entire country, as many young Egyptians began affiliating themselves with one prominent Tunisian protest group in the Tunisian Revolution - April 6 Youth Movement - in hopes of commencing their own revolution. And, with the help of the group on January 25, 2011, Egyptians around their country gathered in Cairo’s Tahrir Square for what would be the revolution’s largest protest (Kirkpatrick 2). While many internal issues ignited the nation’s sense of revolution, the Tunisian Revolution influenced many of its neighbor’s citizens to seek the same goal of achieving true democracy and
Egypt had many intricate structures that have made history, but the most important of the designs is their social structure. The society of Egypt was structured as a pyramid with the pharaoh at the top. The elite part of society contains the nobles, priests, viziers, and government officials. Next, soldiers and military are used for protection and to keep order throughout the kingdom. The scribes record and keep records about the kingdom. Merchants, artisans, and farmers are a large section of the pyramid. They supply the kingdom with food, money, and jobs. Last, slaves and servants are their to help and support the people above them. Each part of society has their role to benefit the kingdom as a whole. The pharaoh is at the top of the pyramid and must control all of society.
