Stories from Tahrir
i told summerbreeze21 that i wanted to write a proper post about this, but when i reread this entry of hers, i realized there's no way to add to it: it conveys the sentiments of the youth who participated in Tahrir very clearly and powerfully.
the people of Egypt have been incredibly inspiring. friends in the Philippines continue to hope for the best for them in their ongoing struggle for freedom.

"We do not want chaos, and we know that building a democratic country takes time, but what is most important is that we have begun."
