There is a street[1] in Cairo called the Street of the Leader Gamal Abdel Nassir. In the street sign, and under the name of the street, is written, “Previously, Street of Liberty”. Nothing represents the catastrophe that has hit Egypt since 1925, when the military launched their coup d’état on 23 July, than this street sign: a military dictator has replaced freedom. And so it continues: Egypt’s present military dictator, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, sits on top of a country that values no liberty and knows no liberty. It is a country of masters and slaves; and each is a slave to their superior and masters to their inferiors. There are no free men – only oppressors and oppressed. Who said the Mamelukes have gone.
