Three Heroes: Wael Ghonim

Wael Ghonim
Wael Ghonim, former Google executive, is a thirty-year-old Arab that respects civil rights and demands change from a corrupted government. A case involving a dead, young, innocent civilian was killed in police custody inspired him to bring this corruption towards publicity. He began by creating a Facebook page indicating his ideas to maintain a peaceful government. Furthermore,  he then generated a revolution without violence from his culture of fear, by commencing a movement that involved millions of Egyptians. He and his followers did not fight, but they still demonstrated a peaceful and civil revolution. In the end, his revolution ended on Jan 25th with 12 million Egyptians removing Hosni Mubarak and his regime. Wael Ghonim is a smart, peaceful, ordinary man that changes the Arab world a step at a time.

  2. You know you were supposed to get different 3 people, right?

    TOAST Score: 5/10

    T: 2/2.
    O: 0/0.
    A: 1/5. Not bad, but a little more political than I want. He could benefit (because it's HIS country) from his work. I was looking for someone a bit more giving. Also, gotta have 3 options.
    S: 1/1.
    T: 1/2.
