As we move further into the 21 century, we are reminded of the many problems, we are face with in the world. Especially, when it comes to human rights, which has been evident, since the beginning of time, so people have the option to live freely and openly, but what happens, when government neglect the voice of the people?You can look at it from this standpoint of a child, that no longer have access to play with his or own toys, they get frustrated, because they parents ignore their plea, and after a while, they start to throw tantrums, as a way of gaining attention. Same scenario here, exercised yesterday, as demonstrators as much as 1000, expressing their concerns, over issues the government are ignoring. Police fired tear gas as citizens walk the streets, protesting their rights. Throwing rocks, and barricading roads, so the government can somehow understand their frustration. Is this an act of democracy? When people don't have the option to speak out on issues that affect their country, Not sure what the human rights policy is in Egypt, but having the right to assemble and march in a unified manner, In my eyes, this should be the universal answer for every nation, because the government was established to serve its people, so they can have a better understanding on what issues needs to be addressed or fixed, but what happens, when people are ignored? Then they take matters into their own hands. Why can't their be a common ground, between the two sides, where they can come to the table, listening to each others concerns, in a dignified manner, so they can come to a peaceful solution.I believe the regime should reconsider what there doing, by meeting its citizens half way, otherwise, it going to turn into a battlefield, filled with bloodshed, resulting in greatest tragedy of all, which is whether or not, one side wins, or the other side losses, but human life will be lost.
