The lesson is in accumulating experience and learning from mistakes, not crying over what has passed or wailing over what could have been. The January 25 revolution, in its early days, was an uprising, in which history will write a lot of purity and true expression of the people\u2019s desire for dignity, pride, and change for the better. Another young man said: I saw you on the first day of the revolution on television with Mona El-Shazly, and in the presence of Dr. Osama Al-Ghazali and others say: We have to listen to the youth, not confront them. We have to absorb their anger and their hopes, not attack them.. This encouraged me, and you were one of the leaders of the ruling party, to take to the field with a positive energy. The sad young woman said: \u201cBut we were deceived by many of those around us, who came as a trainee in Eastern Europe, and who came out of my brothers in disguise, and who came out as an intelligence agent, and we did not ask ourselves about food, drink, accommodation expenses, and signs from where. We did not ask ourselves who would organize, enter, exit, divide and write slogans, and I only wanted the pleasure of human presence with the Egyptians to express our desire for delayed change and freedom, which I thought was bound, until now I lived in more chains, less freedom, specific expression and fear of just gathering and speaking in Politics and accusations fitted. It is as if we made a revolution to guide it to political Islam.\u201d Another young man said: For hours, I feel that the people are being punished for the January revolution, so that it will never have its like again. One of those around me rose up and said: \u201cIt is we. We were wrong. I was 24 years old at the time of the revolution, and now I am over thirty, my case is to find a decent job with a higher salary, an apartment to live in, and a small family that I can support, and I do not want revolutions and I do not want uprisings.\u201d I smiled at them, saying: Everything you say is right and wrong at the same time. January 25 was a people&#8217;s uprising, and it had to end with a fundamental change in the way the country was run. The lesson that I learned is that revolutions happen when there is no hope of bringing about movement and change that touches the reality of the masses&#8217; need through legitimate means. The revolution is, in the academic definition, an illegal act against an existing regime.. If it succeeds, the regime becomes criminal, accused and guilty, and if it fails, the revolutionaries become criminals and out of the system. Heroes and criminals change places because it is the victors who write history. The reality of life that I believed in and my belief in after January was confirmed is that sometimes we need a shake and awakening, but we do not need demolition and chaos. Good governance allows for change from within, with a declared vision, and allows for the peaceful transfer of power without revolutions.. Good governance listens to those who disagree with it, and negotiates with those who have a different point of view, and it needs experts and political advisors to do this for him and for him. And the security institutions must protect that, not prevent it, because they do not protect a specific existing system or a person in particular, but rather protect a state in which regimes change. Another young man said: But we are losing hope little by little, and the youth groups that came close to power took the chance, and those who did not are thwarted. Another young woman with a political tendency and affiliation with a political party said: \u201cThe Future of a Homeland Party is attended by conservatives, and it enjoys support, funding and support, as if it were the ruling party. Indeed, many of us are under pressure to join it, otherwise we will lose the advantages that the state offers to young people.\u201d I said: Listen and listen, that the political vacuum is a great danger, if it is not filled by a conscious political movement and parties that can obtain seats in Parliament, it will be filled by chaos or political Islam organizations with their various wings, and we will return to the zero point. Any void in society will be accommodated in some way. When the state failed in urban planning, the void was filled with informal settlements, and when the level of education decreased and the state made a mistake in making the certificate, not knowledge and skill, the goal, the void was filled with private lessons and corruption, and the educational equation entered the curricula of extremism and the human structure was disrupted, and when the state did not achieve and provide citizens with respectable public transportation To fulfill their needs, they fill the void of tuk-tuks, service, and chaos.. Thus in every field, even in our family life, if school, university and home do not fill the lives of children and youth with sports, practice and fun, competitions and artistic and cultural activity, addiction and extremism will fill the void. Therefore, the intervention of the state with its apparatus to fill the political vacuum at this stage was necessary and understandable, but it is a phased intervention, and it must understand that it is not sustainable, and that the balance between regulation and control requires minds and philosophy and not just procedures. I am confident that the next three years will witness a positive dialogue between the parties, because Egypt is beautiful and possesses the elements of a civilization whose metal appeared at the beginning of the January 25 revolution and on June 30, and because it fills me with confidence that the country\u2019s leadership, as its awareness of the danger to Egypt\u2019s security appeared, has the awareness to see the importance of the transition To the modern civil state that we seek and the peaceful transfer of power, and that this is not done by repeating the same political mistakes while waiting for different results.. Guys.. Our beautiful country needs positive energy that you are its source, and it needs participation and construction in all its spectrums, and the picture is not complete in one color but rather In multiple colours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The revolutionary young man said: The memory of January 25 has returned, and we are experiencing pain, Doctor, for the loss of our hope and the end of our dream.

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/hossambadrawi\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/HossamBadrawi\"]}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Dr. Hossam Badrawi writes in Al-Masry Al-Youm: The lesson of the revolution is hope and action - Dr. Hossam Badrawi","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/dr-hossam-badrawi-writes-in-al-masry-al-youm-the-lesson-of-the-revolution-is-hope-and-action\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Dr. Hossam Badrawi writes in Al-Masry Al-Youm: The lesson of the revolution is hope and action - Dr. Hossam Badrawi","og_description":"The revolutionary young man said: The memory of January 25 has returned, and we are experiencing pain, Doctor, for the loss of our hope and the end of our dream.

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hossambadrawi\/","https:\/\/x.com\/HossamBadrawi"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7159"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7159\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9170,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7159\/revisions\/9170"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
