World press on revolution in Egypt (January 5, 2013)

On January 5th Hurriyet published an article by Hala Elkholy volution in progress in Egypt'. "The second commemoration of an unfinished revolution is fast approaching. On Jan. 25, 2013, two whole calendar years will have passed since those first brave confrontations called for bread, freedom and social justice in Egypt’s Tahrir Square. It is difficult to label it as an anniversary and even if we call it that, it is at the very least not a very happy one just yet. Looking back, one must admit that history will bear witness to an amazingly unexpected, surprisingly resilient and determined uprising that shook the old, dry and brittle tree and brought it down in 18 days. Regardless of where we all stand in this, the achievement cannot be denied. It rocked Egypt and signaled images of major change. However, the roots of the fallen tree have yet to be extracted from the ground to make way for new trees to show their young faces" the article reads.
 "Still angry, their initial anger has been tempered by their ability to hope, to imagine better, to not forgot the price they paid and a serious determination to fulfill their vision; a vision they are still willing to die for. The budding youth of Egypt might not be in power and are still developing their skills and sharpening their new tools, but what is certain is that they have the time. We might not see them on the present surface yet, however, they are busy creating their future: a happier 2013". the author says.
"The NSF is calling for protests to reject the newly adopted constitution and said it refuses to participate in the dialogue the presidency is holding because it is “for show.” the article published recently by the Daily News Egypt reads. "The Kefaya movement is also participating in the protests. They reiterated in a statement that they are not calling for the removal of Morsy, however, and that they are protesting against his policies and the government. The Independence Current will also participate in the scheduled protests. Their official spokesperson Nabil Zaki said in a press conference that neither the constitution nor the Shura Council that has been recently entrusted with legislative power, are representative." the article reads.
