They all
went public more than once exhibiting the very same look, by the very same
criterion, and with the very same arrogant attitude.. Waltzing around in a
carefully designed powerful and mysterious appearance,
molded in a full ceremonial military attire, offering a
well groomed face show-cased into the Cap and the big dark expensive sunglasses,
in a useless effort to hide exactly what I don’t know..
Pinochet,
Espinosa, Ortega, Chavez, Saddam, Nasser, Aref, Assallal, Al Bashir, Saleh,
Sadat, Assad (Hafez),
Mubarak, Tantawy and many others; all were inspired by the Greek Generals
immortalised in the
famous black & white photo, back in the seventies, while assuming power and
celebrating the successfully undertaken bloody Coup d’Étât which overthrew for
few decades one of the well established European democracies and economies of
the post WWII era.
That’s
why I felt seriously alarmed watching Egyptian Minister of
Defence, Colonel
General Al Sissy, exhibiting an imposing look in full ceremonial outfit,
while addressing the crowd, sheltered behind his Persol dark sunglasses, along
with his shrewd smile, though standing in
the shade and obviously he’s not a sensitive albino!!
And just
same as the others before him, he grabs every possible opportunity, public or
private, to assure the presents of being uninterested in a candidacy for the
presidential office!! And this makes me very itchy, because they all said so,
and in a given moment we listened to all of them declaring their duty to “accept the people’s persistent demand
to assume the responsibility of guiding the nation into a better future”!
They all failed..
They all came short from fulfilling their vows for security, independence,
democracy, prosperity, welfare and freedom.. And they all (even Morsi) turned into dictators serving
other than their people.
What will
he do?
Pass On The Word.
