What started out so beautifully is taking a very ugly turn

During the past week there was an unprecedented feeling of unity that was sweeping accross Egypt. It was very encouraging and joyful despite all the hardships . If something good came out of this revolution it was the sudden realization that we love our country and most importantly ourselves.
That was the 'before the speech" phase....
Similar to him, our president's speech if anything was very cunning.He managed to cause confusion and seperation amongst people.
Egyptians decided to form two groups(mind you there is a third group "the mercenaries" who also deserve attention only this is not the right platform to talk about them).
Anyways, the two groups are the anti and pro Mubaraks. Don't get me wrong here, arguments are healthy but the sick thing is that the two groups started throwing stones at each other.
Stones in the sense of accusations.
Amongst the hurtful things that personally touched me was accusing Egyptians living abroad of deserting Egypt, firing people up whilst they are enjoying life abroad, etc....
Now am not defending us" The Egyptians living outside" but certain facts need to be highlighted here:
What drove us away from Egypt was the lousy regime who had an imapact on us be it financial/social or whatever and YES each one of us had his share of suffering

• Seeking a better life is not a crime
• Living abroad is not as jolly as u imagine, we are either Expats or citizens with arabic origins and neither is really a plus
• When you are abroad you work your butts off and the odds of being let go is high after all your an Expat and there is no labour law to protect you.
• Finally, being away from your country is not just you being kilometers apart, it's rather the paing of being seperated from your family and friends and missing out on important events in their lives.

Ofcourse life in Egypt is not a treat either especially now; nobody is underestimating the suffering/fear/anger "people inside" are feeling.
However rest assure that we " the outsiders" as you lately began to call us feel your agony so before you start with the accusations, know very well that me and you we all have have our own problems caused by the regime whether we are in or outside.
Please know your real enemy, it's not too late to retain the unity we had last week.



We all want what's best for Egypt even if we see it differently....
