Translations concerning "25th Revolution"
Thousands of anti-governmental regime had passed through the police troops in streets of Cairo in what is called "the day of anger" inspired by Tunisian revolt which ousted "Ben Ali" as many Egyptians face the same issues that apprised the Tunisian revolt like food prices, unemployment ,and authoritarian rules.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced he has handed his powers over vice president but he refused to step down outright or leave the country, retaining his title of president and ensuring regime control over the reform process. Stunned protesters in central Cairo who demand his ouster waved their shoes in contempt and gave outcries as "Go away!!"
اعلن الرئيس المصري حسني مبارك أنه قد سلم سلطاته الى نائبه لكنه رفض الاستقالة فورا أو مغادرة البلاد ، ومحتفظا بلقبه كرئيسا للجمهورية، ومؤكدا سيطرة النظام على عملية الإصلاح. ولوح المتظاهرون في وسط القاهرة المصابون بالصدمة الذين يطالبون باستقالته(بطرده) بأحذيتهم في ازدراء واطلقوا هتافات منها "ارحل ارحل"
Police officers protested for their rights and marched in solidarity with the revolution, insisting they had been ordered against their will to shoot at protesters.
تظاهر رجال البوليس من اجل حقوقهم تضامنا مع الثورة، واصروا على أنهم أمروا رغما عنهم بإطلاق النار على المتظاهرين.
Egypt’s military leaders dissolved parliament and suspended the constitution in an attempt to meet the key demands of protesters after Hosni Mubarak stepped down.
حل قادة مصر العسكريين حلوا البرلمان وعلقوا الدستور في محاولة لتلبية مطالب رئيسية من المحتجين بعد تنحى حسني مبارك.

4-CAIRO - Rates of marriages in Egypt in 2009 were fivefold those of divorce in the same year as 759,000 marriages were registered compared to 141,500 divorces, an Egyptian official said. "In 2009, 78 marriage contracts were signed per hour against 16 contracts for divorce," said Abou Bakr el-Guindi, the head of the Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics (CAPMAS). In Egypt and other Islamic countries, couples often become engaged at a very early stage in relationships in order to be accepted in the society, unlike in the West where lengthy relationships usually precede marriage.

Sample Paragraphs
Egypt after Mr. Mubarak
Egyptians have bravely shown the world how a peaceful revolution can drive positive political change. It is now time to revolutionise the way we deal with each other by creating positive cultural change in Egypt. If we want to truly be a decent and civil society, let us live the true meaning of dignity and respect for all humankind. Let us also abandon the previous ills in our country, ills in the form of littering our streets, spitting in public and burning trash in residential areas, driving dangerously, not waiting our turn in public lines, and giving or accepting bribes. Let us create order out of chaos so that we can carry out our day-to-day activities without undue stress and hardships. From this day forward, let us hold each other accountable for the new Egypt we now need to build. Let us say, "No more injustice upon us, no more injustice towards one another, no more injustice to our beloved land Egypt". Surely then, will Egypt be able to realise its many hopes for a better today and tomorrow.
CITIZENSHIP & NATIONAL UNITY IN EGYPT
It is not an exaggeration to say that citizenship is one of the most important feature of the Egyptian society. All Egyptians are equal. There is no difference between Muslims and Christians. They have the same rights and are to do the same duties. They are the two elements of the nation. All Egyptians always say, "Religion is for Allah and Egypt is for all" This means that there is no distinction between the sons of Egypt due to religion race or colour. Although Christians in Egypt are a minority, they are enjoying all rights and privileges that are given to Muslims who constitute 90% of the population of Egypt. National unity and good relations between Muslims and Christians are not slogans but rather a tangible reality reflected in the unique experience of the people. In all wars and revolutions, we saw Christians and Muslims fighting their enemies in defense of our dear country. Muslims and Christians in Egypt are always partners in joy and annoy. When a Christian gets married, his Muslim friends and neighbours go to the church to attend his wedding party and vice versa. Whenever a Muslim dies, Christians condole his family and vice versa. On feasts, both Muslims and Christians exchange, congratulations, gifts and good so that wishes. Finally, I'd like to point that Egypt will ever remain a homeland for all its sons

Sample Paragraphs
Egypt after Mr. Mubarak
Egyptians have bravely shown the world how a peaceful revolution can drive positive political change. It is now time to revolutionise the way we deal with each other by creating positive cultural change in Egypt. If we want to truly be a decent and civil society, let us live the true meaning of dignity and respect for all humankind. Let us also abandon the previous ills in our country, ills in the form of littering our streets, spitting in public and burning trash in residential areas, driving dangerously, not waiting our turn in public lines, and giving or accepting bribes. Let us create order out of chaos so that we can carry out our day-to-day activities without undue stress and hardships. From this day forward, let us hold each other accountable for the new Egypt we now need to build. Let us say, "No more injustice upon us, no more injustice towards one another, no more injustice to our beloved land Egypt". Surely then, will Egypt be able to realise its many hopes for a better today and tomorrow.
CITIZENSHIP & NATIONAL UNITY IN EGYPT
It is not an exaggeration to say that citizenship is one of the most important feature of the Egyptian society. All Egyptians are equal. There is no difference between Muslims and Christians. They have the same rights and are to do the same duties. They are the two elements of the nation. All Egyptians always say, "Religion is for Allah and Egypt is for all" This means that there is no distinction between the sons of Egypt due to religion race or colour. Although Christians in Egypt are a minority, they are enjoying all rights and privileges that are given to Muslims who constitute 90% of the population of Egypt. National unity and good relations between Muslims and Christians are not slogans but rather a tangible reality reflected in the unique experience of the people. In all wars and revolutions, we saw Christians and Muslims fighting their enemies in defense of our dear country. Muslims and Christians in Egypt are always partners in joy and annoy. When a Christian gets married, his Muslim friends and neighbours go to the church to attend his wedding party and vice versa. Whenever a Muslim dies, Christians condole his family and vice versa. On feasts, both Muslims and Christians exchange, congratulations, gifts and good so that wishes. Finally, I'd like to point that Egypt will ever remain a homeland for all its sons
