When he raised his hand the crowd around him stood in silence. Lets say a word to the military slaves who are watching. He said , We will free you against your will and the crowd repeated after him as we stood in silence watching them . after you have read these lines above you might have came up with some speculations about where we are but No we were not in a square and we were not in a street we were waiting outside a class room waiting for our lecture to start like any normal university students until a pro Muslim brotherhood students came and they choose to stand between us and our lecture room they were accompanied with a security man he didnt try to stop them because they outed him in number his main concern was to avoid any clashes between the other students like my self. a student pulled out a camera and started recording but rapidly he was surrounded by demonstrators shouting at him to stop recording he refused and as a result of that he was about to be attacked but the security man interfered and asked him to stop recording nicely the student had to comply because he knew that the security man is helpless alone and if a fight started he will be the one with the greatest lost . some people might argue that college campus is never a place for demonstrations and colleges are places for education only but i dont agree because over the years the collage campus was the main place that every thing starts from but this time its not the campus any more its the hallways of the class rooms where the educational process takes place. the reason Im writing this isnt to argue about where to demonstrate Im writing it as a witness on a cretin event occurred because of a cretin ideology. as a young man living in 2014 Ive been called a lot of things but a slave was never one of them and the ones who said so are not higher than me in any way actually they are just like me college students whose main concern might not be a lot different than mine. after the 30s of June the country took another turn towards the unknown and we became divided more than ever. when i signed the Rebel petition i did it because i was worried about our future and the future of our nation, the economy was falling a part , no fuel for cars , the dept on our country was increasing dangerously , our relations with the other world was a joke and most of all we were ruled by Muslim fanatics who their main concern was to rule Egypt no matter what a lot of people were killed and tortured in there reign and the pro Muslim brotherhood always blamed the victims and they made us feel like strangers on our own land the Muslim brotherhood never kept a promise and they achieved nothing of what they promised us any body who stood against them were called an unbeliever in another words they used Islam our religion as a weapon and as a way to control the poor and ignorant we felt like this was the end and we felt a great remorse that we trusted and elected the Brotherhood in the first place. it was hopeless until one day a group of young people came up with the idea of the Rebel petition we were not sure if it will change any thing but it spread like fire people would copy and give it for free many students in my school did that i dont know the actual number of people who signed this petition but i know it was a lot . the 30th of June was the date when we gather at the Tahrir square and rebel against Morsy but people started flowing since 27 . millions of people were in the streets a lot more than the 25th of June revolution after a few day on 3/7/2013 morsi was ousted by the army and the judge (Adly Mansour) was the new president and started forming ministry. we were happy so happy that no words can describe how happy we were . we felt like we can finally breath again we felt like hope was reborn and Egypt was saved but then violence began . the Muslim brother hood and there supporters said that it was war on islam and they started acting like if it were they started targeting police officers and all who are against them . people were shut in streets thrown from the top of buildings even kidnapped and tortured but the hottest spot in this conflict was ( Rabaa square ) the Muslim brotherhood were in rabaa square even before the 30th of june but after the revelation they latterly occupied the area and every body living near by was suffering. they inspected every body so they can pass and any body who was suspected to be working with the police or not from the brotherhood well thats another story that ill get to. they took over Rabaa mosque and the school near the area you can only imagine what that would make feel if you were living in this area. under the huge stage in rabaa and inside the mosque they made torture chamberes for the people working for police or the people against them many people were killed and tortured inside these chambers . the police and army forces called the protesters to go home and to leave this place and they will be safe and will not be followed but they didnt want to leave some were muslim brotherhood and some of the people were there only for the food the muslim brotherhood were using them as a human sheild in case if something happened. for more than 40 days Rabaa square was being turned into a war zone and webeons were brought in and they even started making army formations. on the morning of 14th of August they police and army forces moved to the Rabaa and started giving warnings to the people there asking them to leave and safe passages were opened to people some left and some decided to stay . when the police forces tried to enter they were faced with open fire from the square and from the roof tops of buildings many it was a battle and the ones who lost were the innocent ignorant people controlled by the Muslim brother hood who were in between , many people died that day from both sides more than 600 Egyptians were killed on that day. also i hated the Muslim brotherhood but i didnt want people to die . it was a sad dark day for all of us and things shifted dramatically after that it doesnt matter who was the reason for all this but what matters to me is the future and where are we going now ? will this end soon ? will be able to go to my university and take lessons in peace i literally miss the routine the life of hate and political conflict isnt something a man can live with . yesterday at the campus of my university there was a serious riot caused by the muslim brotherhood students they started inside the university and then broke the door and went out and blocked the streets and when the police arrived many of them ran back inside and while i was running from the tear gas and with tears falling from my eyes i asked my self how did we become like this ? and even with all the things i already mentioned above i dont know !
