In 2011, a bunch of protests were happening in the Arab world, toppling long-time rulers in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya and starting an uprising against Syria's dictator. Many people were excited for democracy. This was known as the Arab Spring. Now, the enthusiasm is long dead. Militias cover the area and thousands of people are dead. America had been allies with Egypt, and now there is the fall of the first democratic president. The U.S aid doesn't want to help anymore. Should they help?
I think that is not fair and there is no justice in the world. Barack Obama wants to keep the relationship between Egypt and the US but he doesn't want to help the civilians who are being killed in the street. It is kind of scary; Egypt's army killed their own democratic president and all the supporters. Does that show that America, in fact, fears to help Egypt? Thousands died in August from military clashes, people are being killed in the street, and we just can't help? This makes me think, that Obama knows we can help, but he can't take that chance. There's no difference from thousands being killed in Egypt than a bunch of Obama supporters being killed.
The title to the article is called "Has the Arab Spring FAILED?" Well, indeed it has and we need America to help fix it. Sometimes, America has no justice. I know sometimes, there's no justice. We're scared but I think we should always stand up for what is right no matter how scary.
