Justice or money?

Money, theft, tyranny, oppression and discrimination weren't they all adjoined to our national anthem during the past 3 decades? Liberty, justice and equality were not these the chants of a million voices screaming for liberation? It’s appalling for me to think that such a proposition was announced normally and received with such complicity by some. 

Personally, I listened morosely to the news whilst I was left in enigma to the reason an immediate response was not yet attributed. Shall we sell the pride we have seized for money that will end up in the hands of God knows who? However, I must admit that I contemplated the tough for many days and found myself facing a devastating conclusion. In fact , the situation in all its eventualities has an inconvenient outcome for the Egyptian people , allow me to elaborate : Firstly , if we accept this financial scandal it would be as if we are admitting in front of the entire nation that retribution could be bought off , is that not a form of bribery that we so valiantly fought against? Secondly, the economic situation in Egypt is gradually atrophying while all our efforts to stabilize it seem to end in vain, we do indeed need the money that is in origin rightfully ours. Nevertheless, if we do receive the money and grant them freedom, to whom will it be consigned? Who is trustworthy enough to stand face to the mistrust captivated inside the hearts of the people? Thirdly, some propose to take the money and keep the prisoners in captivity, if we were truly capable of acquiring the money why would they even put such a proposition on the table and what on earth would make them accept? This act of 'philanthropy' they're trying to pull is nothing but a sign that corruption still reigns and that we are incapable of obtaining by our own means what is ours in the first place. In contrast, we must not forget that in all these scenarios the so called 'feloul' live a descent and lavish lifestyle while in prison or out of it, now where's the justice in that? 

In conclusion, my final though in relation to the topic is that justice must prevail! Although our future rests ambiguous, yet if we yearn a fresh new start we must begin the journey from the right path this time.
