Egyptian uprising & social networks


I have decided to write or to say some thing about Egyptian revolution, i know that it might be late, any way there is a proverb 'better late than never', accordingly the initiative to write this article has been emerged when i saw mubarek(the x-president of egypt) on trial in Egyptian court.

Mubarek, the x-airforce officer , a hero to his land but a man who ruled Egypt ruthlessly with hard dictatorial hand for the last thirty years.I am not interested in going in depth about mubarek's life history. A lot has been said , written and broadcasted in different medias.

What has impressed me is ,how the Egyptian youths had managed to drive out mubarek from his office, in other words from his power,i was wondering what type of secretive organizations they used , how they had been able to be organized , how they manage to be capable of escaping the security apparatus of the regime?...etc are some of my questions which uses to come to my mind .

The youngsters,they have used modern social networks, such as hyves,paltalks, face books in order to be organized ,they had been worked day and night through facebooks, they planned the anti-mubarek demonstartion, they had calculated on how to make it practical, at the end they made it to be happened on the streets of cairo.

Egyptians had been inspired by the tunisians' uprising , a young tunisian vendor, a university graduate with out any job , burnt himself in protest against a police who did not allow him a place inorder to sale his products.It was a trigger point for the ppl of tunisia for their decisive peacefull protest against tunisian dictatorship. Which ends up in their victory
The Egyptians get momentum from their tunisian brothers , they became motivated on that. Youths of egyptians had used their computers(pcs)to topple mubarek.The youngsters were more advanced than the security apparatus of mubarek, they had out smarted them, not only that, they showed to the world how the modern IT(social networks) is powerful , they eventually reveal the world even it is possible to overthrow a powerful dictator who was having a lot of supports.
