Jesuit Father Henri Boulad, Director of the Jesuit Cultural Center of Alexandria, and Soliman Chafik, journalist and political analyst, have written their reading of recent events in Egypt, which is posted online.
They see a danger that the Muslim Brotherhood could exploit the unrest and wrote that the revolution belongs to the “ young people, specifically those between 25 and 35, just graduated, and still unemployed, frustrated, unemployed, homeless, without future prospects.”
They continued, “These young people beyond a brutalizing scholastic education, beyond empty religious slogans without substance, beyond alienating social and moral constraints, are searching for their own way to give meaning to their lives through the Internet, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.”
For more of their thoughts on Egypt visit AsiaNews.
