It's amazing to see how the need for democracy is evolving in the Middle East lately. Especially when the people are tired of being oppressed by their authoritarian leaders. If the Egyptian government wants to control the situation accordingly, as the U.N. chief mentions, the government must focus on the people's needs and aspirations so that they can to create an environment where the people have the rights to engage not only in the social life but also in the everyday political decision making.

This article I agree with 100%. It is clear the protesters wishes to be heard by their government but are ignored. Also I agree with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, it is time for countries to give their people stability and assurance their future will be brighter. If Egypt or any other country that is facing an uprise from their citizens, they should seriously listen to the people. Listening will not hurt but possibly make it better for both side.

It shows how corrupt the governments are in the Middle East - they only listen after a huge blood shed and numerous casualties. Though Mubarak agreed to step down from power, I think it will be difficult for the people to create a well-functioning democracy just yet. After being a part of authoritarian state for so long, democracy does not just happen overnight. Egyptians will need a lot of help from other countries with highly developed democracy. Will the U.S. fly to the rescue once again? I'd bet on that...
