"It's a revolution, he says Cecile Hennion, Special Envoy of the World in Cairo. Its scale is such that we can already say that Egypt from January 25 is radically different than before. The popular vote stood with clarity and courage, saying all that change is inevitable. The Egyptian youth, supported by all generations, today said things that no one dared to say for several decades.
" He added: "I repeat: it is a revolution." "The Arab world and the Middle East will be influenced by what happens in Egypt. Personally, I think there is more going back to Egypt." says it again. Regarding fears of Western countries over the emergence of an Islamist Egypt because of the power of the Muslim Brotherhood Amr Moussa is adamant: "This risk does not exist.
