The 25th of May Bridge or maybe the 25th of May Satellite City...

On the 25th of May, Egypt has chosen to democracy...the Egyptians have chosen to build their future now...

Over and over...you hear such statements in the government controlled and owned Egyptian media...

Though I see the problems with the constitutional ammendment and was in disagreement with the criteria it set for presidential candiates, however, watching and hearing about the happening of that sad day was what got me really wound up...

NDP demonstrators beating up the Kefaya movement demonstrators...

lack of control in polling stations leading to the possibility of one voter actually voting more than once in different polling stations, AlWafd writers managed to vote in 6 different stations in the same district...

Cairo Streets covered in banners saying "YES to Mubarak", again portraying how so many people do not really understand what is going on and what this constitutional ammendment is really about...

Last and most important were the results of the referrendum...53% turned up (many are very skeptical about this number, including myself) and 82.8% said yes to the constitutional ammendment...a number that is definitely lower than the usual 98 or 99% BUT is it really 82.8% or is it lower?? Especially that many of the intellectuals of Egypt have went down to the polling stations on that hot May day...

However...the media goes on to chant about the victory and success of the day...I will not be amazed if they announce the building of a bridge or a city and naming it the 25th of May (like the 6th of October, 15th of May and the 10th of Ramadan...did I miss any of those legendary dates??)
