Simple. Direct. Powerful. Beautiful. Asmaa Mafouz.
In America, similar words were once spoken:
...the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
Words that changed this nation for the next dozen years. Then fear returned. Sixty-five years of arrogance, bluster, and pride compensating for the unrelenting fear and terror of bogeymen. While the real enemies of the people fleece us and the world.
Where is our Asmaa Mafouz? Where is our solidarity with the people of Egypt and everywhere, including this country, who suffer the indignity and poverty that the wealthy and powerful inflict?
