Even revolutions today seem machinations of unreality. This is one of the many things that came to mind watching the pictures from Cairo bouncing on TV these days, the garrison of Tahrir square, open doors of the prisons of Abu Zaabal and Tora, smashed the windows of the Egyptian Museum, the camps and tents in the shadow of the tanks, the fields of road set up by the ordinary people of Egypt, some people just 'hungry for more freedom than they have so many other oppressed peoples on Earth.
You realize that somewhere in the Middle East there is a revolution because read dispatches arriving on Twitter regularly until January 27, then you realize that the news does not get more, but you know that does not mean that the revolution is over. The learning from the newspapers, the Egyptian government has established the humiliating distinction of being the first country in the world to have made the complete closure of the Internet for reasons of public order.
Much more than they did in the past countries like China, or Iran's Ahmadinejad during the Green Revolution. It is through a strange kind of silence that the revolution comes and goes from your house, the silence of the famous characters of the 140 world's most popular microblogging. The thought is that you do to pass the information as a TV show, via social networking rather touch with the reality of hand, that's why today, the dictator of the moment, internet is more frightening than any other medium d ' information.
Perhaps Foreign Minister Frattini think like me, it is true that on January 29, full blackout, with Cairo in flames and hundreds of Italian citizens in hasty flight from Egypt, was on the slopes of Monte Cimone, in Modena, to answer questions from journalists Open Studio, which of course did not cover the situation in Cairo, but the quality of the snow.
"Beautiful Snow. Five inches of snow, perfect "was the comment of the minister resumed with skis and a flashy red suit. Perhaps Frattini was following the evolution of the Egyptian revolt through his Facebook page, including a plate of tortellini and a glass of boiled Sassolino (typical liquor Sassuolo), of which the minister says a great admirer.
Why then bored in the gray office of the foreign ministry? An Egyptian poet, Hassan TELEBISTA, in a poem called What a bad fall! , Wrote: "I want to lay / The essence of my tragedy / I know that the word is weak / resist that poetry / But I'll try / And who knows! / Maybe I could succeed, / When the angels of poetry to help me.
" TELEBISTA not talking about Twitter, but a man who opposes the dictatorship until the guards can not blind him and break his legs, nor the title of the poem alludes to a slip on the snow of the Northern Apennines. It is the everlasting theme of the power of the word man and revolt against tyranny.
Arguments as ever. Why in all this is a true thing of all: the advancement of science in the field of information is a fact of nature, and can not be stopped by simple human will.
