Reviving the revolution is the only way to save Egypt

Like millions of other people, I am exhausted of barely being able to afford to live, living a life of subsistence with any future prospects looking darker than a moonless night, writes Sheik Yerbouti, who cofounded an online forum for those who aspire to revive the Egyptian .

is in one of its worst state ever, and it’s declining exponentially by the day. A large portion of the population is now living in poverty, unable to make ends meet or even afford basic necessities.

People are weary of the brutal military regime that treats the population like prisoners of , quashes any opposition, and aggressively shuts down lucrative businesses by offering lower priced, substandard goods.

Like millions of other people, I am exhausted of barely being able to afford to live, living a life of subsistence with any future prospects looking darker than a moonless night.

I call upon every Egyptian citizen to join us, whether you live here or abroad. We cannot take any more oppression, the future is in our hands and we must take back our dignity, if only for future generations to live a decent life.


Reimagining freedom

With untold thousands of prisoners of conscience rotting in the regime’s jails and the streets unsafe for peaceful protest, we decided to set up an online community, RevolutionMustHappen, on Reddit to raise awareness about the rapidly decaying state of Egypt, in every aspect, socially economically and politically.

RevolutionMustHappen seeks to enable like-minded pro- Egyptians who fear for the future of our country to voice their frustrations, find solidarity and support, and to discuss ways to usher in in some major changes.

The ultimate aspiration is to bring an end to the current military despotic regime and replace it with a democratically elected leader, someone with experience in economic policy that can lift Egypt out of the crippling poverty and debt we’ve been entrenched in for so long.

We are advocating for peaceful means and we are aware of the mistakes of 2011: lack of planning, no strategy, etc. We want to avoid these mistakes by debating solid plans that will give us the desired results.

This is unsustainable and the onus is on us as citizens to demand and eventually help usher in some major changes. Please join us. Our forum, which is in both Arabic and English, is open to everyone who shares the dream of a democratic and free Egypt and who respects the rules of the community.
