A Day of Joy and Pride For Egypt

12 Feb

Yesterday, the President of Egypt Hosni Mubarak announced that he is stepping down as President. It was POURING rain today, but that didn’t stop a group of people gathering around in downtown Vancouver to celebrate the outcome. What the future holds for Egypt is unclear and I pray that things will get better and the country will rise to its former glory. I do know one thing though, that I am very proud of the Egyptians in Egypt who stood their ground and made this happen. They united as a group and their voice was heard loud and clear.

Some info about myself. I was born in Cairo, Egypt and came to Canada with my parents at the age of seven.
