Anyways, in Egypt there has been a protest on the date of January the 25th. This protest happened because Egypt was inspired by the revolution in Tunisia. Thousands of Egyptians would march on the street protesting against poverty, unemployment, government corruption, and autocratic governance. The government tried to stop the protest by banning twitter but only enraged the protesters. The government also sent a riot squad to protect them. Everyday, there would be injured citizens and a lot of arrested people. Protests occurred in many places like, Cairo, Alexandria, and the Suez. After this event the past leader of Atomic Energy said that he would lead the protesters. The government then started banning and blocking Facebook or any types of communication. This made the protesters find new ways of contacts. The president of the United States said that he had a talk with Egypt's president and said to take steps to change. The streets of Egypt was quiet after this talk with the president of Egypt.
