Egyptians have to Start Enduring Realities

In the previous couple of days Egypt has seen yet another epilogue of worst Crisis starting by coup against its first democratically elected president Morsi followed by strong protests by Defiant Muslim Brotherhood. It is not the first time that Military Generals have deemed it necessary to carry out coup d'etat to protect the national interest. But for what it was worth all we have seen yet is more instability along with surging number of deaths at the hands of Egyptian Army. For the last one week Cairo has been packed with the protesters Demanding the release of the ousted President. 

There is no doubt in believing that time ahead for Egyptians will not be an easy one they will have to face many difficulties. The Post Morsi Era will be that of an ideological Conflict between the Islamists and Secularists, an era that may be earmarked by intense struggle between the two to bring Egypt under their Factions ideology. One should not be naive to form an opinion that with President Morsi's ouster Political Islam lost its stronghold just as Brotherhood thought of Secularists when they came to power.

What we have to understand is the notion that gave Military the mandate to come back to power was the public support that was neither Islamist nor Secularist. The public that wanted the same as at the time Mubarak's ouster, Political stability that will lead to public security along with economic stability. These were the real reasons for the ousters. Different Ideological factions may be able to manipulate circumstances to their advantage but truth is that the real reasons for the public turning against their Rulers is lack of Governance, Stability and economic prospects. 

In my view if Egyptians truly want stability to be restored they need to be tolerant enough to make some compromises that will lead to bridging the Huge gap that exists between two strong Ideological Factions that is to say Islamists and Secularists. Both Sides have to realize the bitter realities and think for the long term future ahead unless they don't want Egypt to be a stable and peaceful again
