The outbreak of protests started in Cairo only days ago. The protests are due to all of the citizens of Cairo wanting to over throw their president. There have been peaceful and also physical protests in Cairo. Close to 1 million Egyptians are anticipating the major demonstration that is taking place on Friday. There have been small clusters of people causing destruction and that is when there was a call for “a major security crackdown”. The market in Egypt was also going through a rough patch and they closed the market and re-opened it an hour later. On a good note the opposition leader has stated that he is returning from Europe and will participate in the peaceful protests and make sure it is kept peaceful. Finally, it was stated the lead fuel of these protests are to blogs, twitter, and Facebook.
As a Canadian citizen I do not know too well what major protests are all about. But, in Canada we know that Cairo is a magnificent place to travel to. Personally I believe that the president should just drop out and let his country be peaceful and happy. The citizens of Egypt and Cairo are no happy with the president and they all want him out of parliament. Due to the president not dropping out the market was on a steep fall and people are getting hurt in protests. If the president did really care about the people he would have dropped out. I also believe that the opposition leader is doing a great job by saying he will join the protest and make sure it is peaceful.
