As Egyptians wonder why the crisis is destroying their country, I have the answer. Egypt has only had one presidential election in all the history of their country. Every president that has taken office in Egypt has been passed down the job by others in the administration office. Egypt obviously does not believe in the word democracy. Democracy is a form of government in which all citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. There is definitely a problem with this presidential process in Egypt.
Democracy has partaken in the American lives for a very long time. The United States has always been a democracy country where the people have the ability to voice their opinion, especially voting. I am a U.S. Citizen and I, for one, am grateful in being a part of the majority that chooses who will run the country I live in. Justice for the people will bring peace in many aspects. If there is no justice for the power of the people, then numerous amounts of issues will rise.
Egypt obviously does not believe in open fair elections. These elections give people a chance to have a voice. It gives justice to those individuals living in their country. Whoever wins the president’s office, it is victory in a fair game. The people that chose the opponent know majority wins. Therefore, there is nothing they can do to change the outcome.
But, if the position is GIVEN to that person, then problems are created. Egypt had Mubarak running office since 1981. Mubarak was never wanted in office, but he was given the job. For years, Egyptians wanted him to resign. Well, they made it happen. They protested all over Egypt, creating violence and losing $300,000 every day.
According to Richard Sisk, many protestors were killed and wounded when police open fired on a massive crowd demanding the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak. These kinds of issues in countries can lead to disasters in the economy. What causes these disasters are the people in their country that are not able speak their voice. Egypt will keep being destroyed until the power of the people will be taken in action.
Elections will have the country at peace. The people are what keeps the country together since they are the ones that live through it every single day. If the people are not content and are not able to voice their opinion in elections, then the country will not have peace for a while. Peace will be brought upon them until democracy jumps in and takes control.
