Former Vice President Mohamed ElBaradei speak about the Arab Spring and its lessons

Here is the lecture of Former Vice President Mohamed ElBaradei about the Arab Spring and its lessons at Fletcher school in the United StatesIn his final lecture as Nobel-Laureate-in-Residence at The Fletcher School at Tufts University, Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei spoke on the current realities for Arab Spring countries and his views on how to achieve lasting stability and prosperity. "We need to create the environment and the checks and balances that make sure that we do not deviate from where we all want to go... and where we all want to go is, basically, to live in peace and to have human dignity.

He speaks about Arab Spring and what happened to it from ups and downs or mainly down especially in Egypt. I can't say anything more than what he said. By the way the Pro-regime and Pro-Military media are still attacking him day and night labelling him as agent. The fact that he speaks in public lectures abroad makes many people go coco for real back in Egypt. I mean scrolling down the El-Sisi supporters' timeline on twitter tonight following the news of this lecture , I found out that they were spreading conspiracies that that lecture was a beginning for his return to Egypt to start a new revolution next 25 January 2015 !!! I will not lie and say that I am not angry from ElBaradei for leaving the country when many including the same youth he speaks about in pride needed and still need him as a voice. Youth are angry and frustrated , they feel that they are being abondoned by older political generations including ElBaradei's generation. I believe Elbaradei will come back to Egypt to remind the rest of the country specifically the regime and the army as well the rest of the old political powers including the Islamists to tell them " I told you so".
