Hi there! I am going to do a reflection on the recent Egyptian Riots now. I will also state a few other details of this incident. Enjoy!

Basically, the Egyptian Riot was started because of the presidential elections. The Egyptians are enraged with the parliament since they suspected that someone played foul during the presidential elections. They suspected that vote rigging took place, whereby a member who won most seats, earned his seats by buying or earning his votes through dirty means, such as threat. Vote Rigging is not allowed so the Egyptians are enraged and thus, started this riot. They do not wish to have a leader or president, in charge of the country when he is not welcomed by the Egyptians.
I feel that if a person wants to earn a high authority placing, he should do so will clean methods and play fair. He should not steal other people's votes by use threat or money. Such people prove 2 things. Firstly, they are cowards who know that they cannot win. Second, they are people who want to get whatever they want by any means, fair or foul. Such people should not be the president of a nation since they cannot get what they want with pure skill. How is the president who use foul methods planning to earn trust or friendship from other countries? Threat or money? I don't think so. He should not be the president if he cannot be in the first place, he should be far-sighted and think of the problems Egypt will face and the stress if he gets elected. He should not think of fame or power without thinking long term. However, he has power now, but no fame. Not to mention that he is a terrible president, he is also even hated by his own people. If he cannot even control his own people, how is he going to manage his country, and even form ties between Egypt and other countries. The best solution to this problem now, is to have a re-election, whereby fair methods are used. If not, Egypt will always be rioting and the entire country would be chaotic. This also affects them in terms of their economy, since no foreigners would dare to go there to trade since they have fears of meeting death. Their economy would cripple and when it happens, many countries' economies would also cripple. Thus, a solution has to be implemented fast.
