Egypt's Prime Minster had violently attacked protesters yesterday. The country's president had asked for the security chaos to be investigated. The military was there and witnessed the clashes that were taking place in in the area of Tahrir Square. The violent clash took place between supporters and foes of President Hosni Mubarak, the military didn't want things to get to severe so they decided to step in and divide the two groups. Rocks flew back and forth in an empty construction area in front of a metal barricade that anti-Mubarak protesters set up overnight. Egypt's health minister said on state-run Nile TV that at least five people were killed and 836 injured; including 200 within one hour on Thursday morning.
When an accident occurs like this one you wonder:
- How safe is the place you call home
- Is it safe to protest for what you believe in
- How safe is your President when people protest against him
- Will protesting always lead to deaths
- Who protects you when even the Prime Minister leads to violence
The crisis has paralyzed the Egyptian economy, forcing the closure of banks, train services and schools. Markets are running short of basic food staples. All because of a protest things have been shutdown and transportation and education will now be lost. The question is how long will it take for the Egyptian economy to recover.Relation:
Should the Prime Minister or the President be more responsible for the actions that took place that day because all though the Prime Minister created violence it is still the President's country!
