Liberation Square

(Tahrir Square)

By: Azza El Wakeel

The Liberation Square is where the flame of the revolution of the 25th of January 2011 started in Cairo (Egypt).

To all the honorable martyrs who sacrificed their lives, the wounded who faced bravely the ugly regime so that we gain our freedom and human rights, to every person who shared in the protests I say out loud you are our great heroes.

The martyrs will always be in our hearts remembered and cherished.

Some brave young Egyptian women and men started a revolution on Tuesday the 25th of January 2011 in the Liberation Square in Cairo... then families with their little children joined, elderly people followed... day and night they all gathered in the Liberation Square despite the cold, rain, thirst and hunger... despite the violence, tear gas, sticks, water cannon, rubber and live bullets... fearless they are despite the brutality they faced against their protests... today we're all proud to be Egyptians because of their loud cheers... we have hope for a bright tomorrow and started to believe our dreams can be fulfilled... inspired by them millions of people spread all over Egypt's land all together Muslims and Christians hand in hand... together fighting for their freedom and their human rights... shoulder to shoulder the young supporting the elder, the strong caring for the weak... all together still struggling despite the hundreds of martyrs and huge numbers of wounded...  Azza (6 February 2011)

Solid as the ground they're standing on, joined by artists, politicians, judges, teachers, workers, people from all fields from every where and all ages the protestors are still there in the Liberation Square turned it into a carnival celebrating their revolution, feeling proud that the Egyptian people combated all their fears and are all out in the streets crying out loud:  

"The People Want The Regime To Fall"

Influenced by the Tunisian Revolution those brave Egyptian young people communicated and organized their demonstration to protest but then after they started the internet was shut down and also the cell phones, they didn't care, didn't stop but wandered calling at the doors, cried in the microphones, spread their publications by hand … Azza (8 February 2001)     

I salute all the army officers and soldiers who took off their uniform and joined the protestors and called for their leaders to follow them… Azza (10 February 2001)

"Congratulations"

Mubarak finally stepped down…

Bravo Egyptian protestors who brought down the ugly regime…

It's time for a new Era to begin...
