The borders within Egypt…

..are not the ones religious against secular as suggested by most of the western media. The borders are constructed along the same dividers as everywhere else: between rich and poor, between upper class and lower class, between education and no education.

The protests at the Egyptian universities at the moment emphasise this assumption. While protests enflamed at almost all public universities throughout Egypt, the private universities are relatively quiet.

So even if it looks like a struggle for freedom it is rather more a fight between a few rich against the vast majority poor people. If the majority of the few rich people would really care about the situation – it would be easy to solve. And it would be a sustainable solution.

Maybe it is already a fact, that the majority of the rich people would like to support the poor and to bring the country forward. Then the question is, why it does not happen.

A possible answer is, that there is worldwide no transparent structure which enables one to hand down some of his/her own wealth. It is not that easy that one can give something to the next person one meets. A supply structure needs to be more complicated and more thoughtful.

Something to work on.
