Watching
the photos on internet giving impressions of the first day of the referendum
over the revised constitution, and listening to what my Egyptian acquaintances
say, my eyes fill with tears.
The people
say „Yes“ because they finally wish serenity and peace in their country. They
are fed up with the demonstrations, the religious representatives’ promises and
the bombings. They are tired and exhausted after three years full of hope and
fight – that seem completely useless at the moment. They want to live, laugh
and work again. They want to eat, drink and sing again. They want to discuss
football and not politics.
Who can
blame them???
Last year,
my guard said with zest that Morsy got rid of the army and everything will be
fine – Insha’Allah. Today, he said with zest, everything will be fine – Insha’Allah
– and the army is no problem. Freedom will come gradually. – I can understand
him and the other 50 million…
