Part 1:
Around the world, nothing is more difficult than attempting to change status quo. Wael Ghonim, a marketing executive with Google, out of love for his country Egypt, starts a Facebook page 'We Are All Khaled Said' to support change for the better in the autocratic rule back home. Ends up anchoring tens of thousands like-minded Netizens in cyberspace and becomes target of the Egypt's security forces. He is kidnapped, blindfolded, put in confinement for 12 days. After his release, he heads straight to a TV channel and delivers this mind-numbing interview.
The emotional interview depresses and ironically reminds how the Egypt youth face the same treatment youth in other countries, say India/Pakistan/China, get when they demand political change.
Firstly, they have to answer which foreign spy agency/foreign hand is behind their protests. Then they have to answer who is financing their mobilization activities, their food, their placards! Again they would be accused of serving some political group's agenda. They would be accused of being mislead and getting incited by some vested interests. Of course, irrespective of the fact that the youth is just being idealistic, they would be dubbed traitors and subjected to extra-constitutional confinement and torture.
Wael says in a moving statement in the interview - "Right now, We are in a time that if someone has good intentions, he’s made out to be a traitor. You know why? People think that bad is the norm." Here are 5 parts of the Interview. We cant help but join Wael in the sorrow, especially when he weeps while seeing the photos of killed youth.
