A revolution is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time.
The demonstrations and riots started in the weeks after the Tunisian Revolution, with many protesters carrying Tunisian flags as a symbol of their influence,[16] It is part of the 2010–2011 Arab world protests that have included and followed Tunisia's revolution. Grievances for Egyptian protesters have focused on legal and political issues.
Hosni Mubarak
Since 1981
He is not doing much about it.
It could be a problem for us because protests could break out in the United States.
Or people from Egypt could come over here to leave Egypt and start a bad protest.
