I have never liked history in school, neither studying it or even reading it ...But today was different...I lived it! Of Course u may laugh at me & say: if u r LIVING it then it is not history Yet !..it is just the present..
But I will tell u: allow me to call it History because what I lived defined a Turning point in my people & my country's history...& I may not live it again.
It all started with a group of People..
A group of people who had some Requests & some Hopes...
Some Opinions that have never been heard before, & some Thoughts that have been in their hearts & minds for so long but didn't have the chance to express it..So these people decided to MAKE their Own Chance..& that was the start!
It was Tuesday 25-1-2011, it was a Day off when people decided to Break their Silence and Express themselves in a good & Democratic way..Just Express Themselves.
I admit I wasn't courageous enough to participate in the Demonstrations, But I was concerned to Share the Feelings of the people & stay updated with all what was happening.
At First, I didn't feel that excited...Was just a demonstration & it will end soon & nothing will happen as Always !!
After the day finished and people were still concerned that they won't stop , it started to feel different step by step .. My People are Finally expressing what WE feel & that we are considered one of the Most Civilized countries in the world ..and all the world started watching us!
3 Consecutive days of demonstration in different parts of the country...NON STOP!
Until the day Everything changed into a Nightmare...
It all turned to a War & Not a Demonstration...a War between Citizens of the country & its Government!
Policemen against Protestores, Fights, Quarrels, Stones, Tear gas, Fire, Blood, Curfew & then Military Forces in the streets !!
I won't be able to express everything happened or felt in that day..but all I can say is that it was a Mixed Feeling of Sadness, Fear, Worries & shock !
It was a HEll Of a Week..I still can't believe how it passed!
I even don't know if it passed very fast or very slow !...
It felt as if My Life has been PAUSED for a week..and waiting to continue it soon!
I can't deny that some great achievements have been made due to this week ..Achievements that we didn't dream of fulfilling at first.............but Also great Sacrifices have been paid too.
I wish I could document everything & every feeling that happened in that past week ; with its good & bad ; But I guess I can't...
It will just remain in my mind till the time comes when I narrate it to my kids or read about it in History books (that I still don't like :) ).
