A tribute to Egypt

Today, I’d like to pay a tribute to the people of Egypt – on both sides of the walls we saw coming up in the preceding weeks. I pay tribute to the men and women who protested peacefully, without violence, yet stood firm behind their convictions. And I pay tribute to the Egyptian Army and …
