Celebrate or Demonstrate, Gifted or Killed

Just one day before the 3^rd anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution, 3 bombings in Cairo that was claimed by the current government to be done by the opposition, the Muslim Brotherhood, who was declared by the same government as a terrorist group. While one of the buildings where these bombings happened was a head quarter for the security police. Fortunately the security cameras that’s located at the building, The Islamic Museum, in front of it captured the whole situation of two security officers barking a car in front of such building, that no one during a normal day will be able to do so because of the importance of such building, and entered the Security Headquarter building when the explosion were coming from such car after just 2 minutes. That’s what led one of the retired officers at the Al-Jazeera to claim that that it was done by the intelligent agencies. Just like what happened only 24 days before the revolution on 2011 when they made an explosion at the Cathedral Church on Alexandria during the New Year’s Eve. The intelligent agencies were trying to divide the people and do horrible events to be as an excuse for the massacres they are planning to do. While on the third anniversary itself, some are celebrating a military role, others are demonstrating against a new military role for the country. Thousands are celebrating at Tahrir Square, the revolutionary icon in downtown Cairo, there were vendors who were selling posters for Gen Sisi and there were also military helicopters flew low gifting flags to those celebrating. While only a few miles away some others were gifted bullets and tear gas, killing at least 16 people and more than 430 were arrested only in Great Cairo area. While the slogan of the day that was held by the government, If you celebrate you will be gifted, while if you demonstrate you will be killed.
