After
Muhammad Hosni Mubarak’s regime collapsed because the citizen did revolution
against his regime, the government of Egypt had determined to be a democracy
country where the president would be chosen by the society. At the time,
Muhammad Morsi has elected in general election and became the first president whom
was selected by the citizen. Hopefully, Muhammad Morsi brought Egypt better
than before.
Nowadays
at Egypt still occurs the same reaction. A thousand hundreds of Egyptians go
down to the road in shouting Muhammad Morsi who was deemed fails to bring Egypt
to a better state after collapsing. In my point of view there are two reasons prior
to this case, such as politic situation and economic situation.
First,
politic situation, let us be honest politic situations in Egypt are really
alarming. Much
interventions come from other countries, America accused of taking part in this
issue. On the other hand, Muhammad Morsi
was trying to convert the short-lived democracy in Egypt back to the islamic
syariat country. It is proven by within a month, Morsi appointed members of the Muslim Brotherhood to serve in
various state agencies. There are at least 5 cadres of the Muslim Brotherhood
appointed as the official in various departments, 8 of them are in
Presidential office, 7 of them are governors, 12 to be the governor assistants, 13 at the office of
the governor, and 12 as mayors.
Second, economic
situation, Morsi failed to deliver his promises during the presidential
campaign for the welfare of the people of Egypt. Morsi failed to raise wages
and living standards of the people. Indeed, Morsi has only served as president
for a year. The time is considered less to restore the country's economy.
However, over the past year there are at least 558 demonstrations, 514 strikes,
and 500 sit-in protests. Actually, Morsi tried to fix the country's economy by
amending the tax laws on November last year. However, in spite of the efforts,
the price of staple goods still increased.
To sum up, the welfare
of the people is the government's responsibility. The society has the full
right to demand justice. Revolution is one way to implement prosperous life, for
example at Egypt where the society has just done the second revolution.
