First, political Islam has rogue Egypt and held it down, suffocating the country, not allowing it to stand a chance. President Hosni Mubarak was ousted and people thought that Egypt was getting better. It has not been the case. While Zaki lives in faded luxury and chases women, Bothayna endures sexual harassment while working as a shop assistant to provide for her poor family after the death of her father. Meanwhile her boyfriend, Taha, son of the building's janitor, is rejected by the police and decides to join a radical Islamic group. Egypt is heading towards a bottomless abyss. Everything is controlled by the elite. Jobs are no more; it is preserved for the top. This increases the plight of the people and leads them into committing some of the acts seen in Islam as bad or as a taboo. The political elite are crashing its opponents and ensuring that whoever com...

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

What was once a great and powerful empire has started to become a civil war zone. They created the Pyramids and one of the first recorded libraries. While Egypt has had hard times in the past, they recovered from them, the civil war that they are in now will be harder to recover from once it’s over. With war and economic problems causing people to die frequently due to either starvation or gunfire, Egypt struggles to survive and bounce back from their issues. Egypt continues to deal with the fighting and their future doesn’t look bright for them.

“A-28- year old construction engineer, Maher heads the April 6 youth movement, which began as a Facebook group in spring 2008 to support a workers’ strike in a northern industrial town in Egypt. This youth opposition coalition was the main organizing force behind last week’s demonstration. Their demands included the departure of the interior minister, an end to the restrictive emergency law, and a rise in the minimum wage. The member, who include many young well-educated Egyptians, have shown a greater willingness than others to risk arrest and start public protests. The group uses popular social websites to alert its networks about police activity and organize demonstration.”(Branch of the China Daily)

The Egyptian political system refers to the rules, regulations, practices, political structure and fundamental laws all which show how the government, its state power and relationship between the state and society works (Chapin). Egypt is a democratic country. In the 1990’s, there was an up rise in the Islamic religion, causing nationwide riots and issues. This was partly due to Egypt’s government officials having imperial powers over the country. Since then, Egypt’s position on the democratic scale of progression is improving.
