Egypt Post-Mubarak


What's going to happen to Egypt now? That is the question the world is asking. One thing is certain; there are still protests going on. The people of the Egyptian nation are resented, not only because of more than 300 people being wounded and killed during the protests that took place to force Mubarak to resign, but now it seems the economy is losing itself. The Egyptian people are desperate. Many are out seeking for jobs, and especially those with college degrees are anguished. A young man named Ahmed, for example, has a degree and a master’s in archeology and, after graduating in 2004 and being the top second student in his class, has not been able to find a job. Those touristic places that would normally be packed with foreigners are pretty much drained. Tourist guides have had not a single customer in weeks now. The country’s present minister is very concerned.  For now, the military will seek to implant a new democracy for the country by calling for electoral votes in six months. Best wishes the Egyptian people!
