The author of this article is Declan Walsh, and his purpose in writing it is to inform those outside of the Arab countries, specifically in the Western hemisphere of the conflicts that have arisen in Egypt recently. I had known that groups in Egypt had attempted to overthrow their president, but I had no idea issues remained today, and that there was something called the Muslim Brotherhood. This event reminds me of the British sending more troops into their colonies, such as the 13 American colonies, to reduce protesting and thoughts of overthrowing their respected tyrant. Though these events relate well enough the issues in Egypt are much larger and have not shown signs of success much as the fight for independence in colonial America.

Police Patrol Fifth Anniversary of Egypt Uprising by Brenna Hale(6th Period)
Likely to be supporters of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood protesters chanted against President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. It has been five years since the uprising that overthrew President Hosni Mubarak. Security was bolstered for this day, but has it been overdone? many Egyptians say that they are scared to take to the streets again after the arrest of reporters, journalists, activists and the exile or imprisonment of the Muslim Brotherhood's leader. The only demonstration permitted to take place was a group of government workers cheering for Mr. Sisi, one of Mubaraks former generals, this groups took selfies with and gave roses to officers instead of fighting them. Other people blame the Western countries for the chaos in Arab countries, and propaganda against President Obama is frequently aired on Egyptian television. the presidents most immediate problems are not these protests, but economic. By the middle of the day the security squads were ready to go and cleared everyone out of the square.
