Egypt Silences Dissent

Events in Egypt point to the imposed leaders' intent to brutally silent dissent,
and part of which over 800 Egyptians have lost their lives. It is becoming
clearer by the day that the forcible removal of Morsi supporters from the
protests camps has been part of the army's plan to break the backbone of the
dissent challenging Morsi removal, ending diplomatic efforts toward his
reinstatement and averts a pragmatic solution to the country's problem.
The forcible evacuation of a mosque in Cairo on Saturday is seen as marking
the leadership's achievement of its aim to end the protest over Morsi removal and cutting down democracy's
blossoming tree in the country. Observers say the dissenters were not disgraced, because they fought and
shed precious blood for freedom like any people in their right mind would have done.
There is an echo that the fallen in Egypt has proved right the words of Jean-Jacque Rousseau that all
people are born free and equal and unless constrained by morality and law, would they become uncivilized
and violent.
People say that the army's violation of the fundamental rights of Morsi supporters can never be justified. They
say they were robbed and the democratically elected president put in jail on trumped up charges. A
comparison is being made about who have robbed between the leaders who have coercion power they have
been using against Morsi supporters or Morsi supporters fighting for their rights, believably taken away by
robbers and terrorists in stolen leadership garbs?
The words of Senator Lindsey Graham confirms it: "The people who are in charge were not elected. The
people who were elected are in jail. The status quo is not acceptable."
ElBaradei has resigned as a show of the abnormality of the government he found himself. People view his
resignation as a protest against the acts of Egyptian leadership, as being short of human expectations of the
21st century.
The world expects the momentum against the hand-picked leaders to continue; for dissent to gradually
rebuild in the country and for the tree of democracy abruptly cut down to sprout again.
