It is hard to get people out of Egypt. Britain’s foreign secretary, William Hague, said UK nationals should avoid nonessential travel to large cities such as Cairo, Alexandria and Suez. The government does not offer help to evacuate those people who are already there. Countries all over the world are sending aircrafts to pick up their people and try to get them back safety and they advised their nationals to get out by any means possible. Many people try to convince the politics in Egypt, that the situation in Egypt is getting out of hand and Egypt could fall into the hands of extremists, but Britain could not intervene directly. “We are looking for a stable Egypt and hoping things will be restored soon,” said Abdulrahman al-Attiyah, secretary-general of the Gulf Co-operation Council. Countries next to Egypt are worried and Israel even says that his country’s principal Arab ally could turn into a foe again under a new government. He said, “I remind you that the peace between Israel and Egypt has lasted for over three decades.” China has blocked the word ‘Egypt’ from micro-blog searches and suggested Egyptians were not suited to democracy. The Global Times said that democracy was not compatible with conditions in Egypt or Tunisia.
My reaction:
There is a lot going on in Egypt and from what I have seen on TV it seems it is going in the wrong direction. The police actions are more aggressive and Egypt is blocking the internet. Maybe they should take a look at our political system. In Tunisia they also need to learn about democracy. I think that if the people want the politicians to leave they should leave but there are still some politicians in that parliament that ruled with their former leader and I understand they want a ‘clean’ parliament and I think they should get a ‘clean’ parliament.
