EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image, anti-government protesters in Egypt express their deep-seated resentment towards President Hosni Mubarak. Using stones left over from recent rioting at Tahrir Square in Cairo, these demonstrators spell out their feelings with a symbolic act of defiance. The photograph captures the intensity and determination of those who have gathered at Tahrir Square, which has become the epicenter of protest against Mubarak's regime. As they camp out in the square, the protesters vow to intensify their battle to oust Mubarak despite his insistence on staying until September elections. The 82-year-old president argues that any alternative would lead to chaos. However, this image reveals a sense of unity among the people as they creatively use stones as a medium for expressing their discontent. The elevated view allows us to witness this demonstration from above, showcasing both its scale and impact. Although faces are unrecognizable in this shot, it emphasizes that it is not about individuals but rather a collective voice demanding change. The serene atmosphere contrasts with the underlying tension present within Egyptian society during this time of civil unrest. This photograph serves as a reminder of how ordinary objects like stones can be transformed into powerful symbols when placed in the hands of determined individuals fighting for justice and freedom.
