Sad to see Egyptians' suffering

For the past two weeks, I have been anxiously following the events in Egypt because of my profound love for the country of my birth. Although I am a Canadian citizen now and left Egypt in my teens, the country has a special place in my heart which has prompted me to visit it often.

During my last trip to Egypt, I noticed that most Egyptians were disappointed with the government for its lack of progress in solving the country's multiple problems, including deteriorating economy, lack of security, the poor state of public utilities, very high inflation and the massive downturn in the tourism industry.
