Egyptian student union 2

If this revolution has proved anything other than our ability to change, it would be the true power of the youth most of which being university students. The strongest two classes of the Egyptian society are the youth(students) which called for the uprising and the working class which actually made the revolution possible by the strikes of the workers on the last two days of the revolution.

After the revolution and the amazing spirit we saw in Tahrir i started thinking how we can keep this spirit alive between the Egyptian students as one of the most effective political powers in Egypt if not the most.
that is when i remembered Shafick's dream of last Summer "The Egyptian Student Union".


What we want is very clear; a representation in the parliament and the cabinet, recognition from the government and a new bylaws written by the students that allows the formation of the ESU, gives the right to all students to take part in political activities, recognizes the SUs of private universities and ensure free SUs in all universities.

These demands will ensure the return of the student movement with all it's power again and we will have a strong political power that will ensure that the government will always work for the good of the Egyptian people not their own interests like what happened in the uprising of 1977.

To revive this initiative i started calling other SUs, made a FB page and a Twitter account. 

wait for updates on this issue
