Egyptian Revolution

Egypt to me as always been like a beautiful place to visit. It is rich in culture, mummies, and food. The country is very old dating back many many years at it is were pharaohs ruled and pyramids were made in honor of them. Recently the country has gone through a revolution. The people have gotten tired of their dictator who has been ruling them for at least 30 years. The Egyptians protested and rallied in Tahrir Square, a main part of the capital Cairo. The protests began first as peaceful, but when pro- Mubarak groups confronted the protesters, things began to turn violent. People died and many were injured. The protesters needed more people in the rallies so they went to social media site like Facebook and Twitter to recruit. Afterward thousands of people came o protest. The President noticed and shut down the internet for no one else ca know what is going on. The shut down just got them more angry and they continued rallying for their freedom. After 18 days of protesting and violence, President Hosni Mubarak resigned his position and transferred power to the military. The protesters were happy Mubarak left but still wanted the democratic government. The protesters gave the military a set of demands to achieve their goal of democracy. The goals included releasing protesters from jail. The military replied by saying they will make amendments to the constitution and also ratify them within two months. Egypt has since calmed down since Mubarak has left office but more protests are going on in the business side. People have not been paid for a month and they demand that they raise their salaries since hey make an equivalent of $46 US dollars a month. The country is still going through some change but it's what the Egyptians wanted and what they needed.
