Egypt activist's suicide grips social media - Yahoo Maktoob News - 0 views

    • sheldonmer
       
      This article is a dark story about the aftermath of the Egyptian Revolution. Social has been an outlet for positive change, but just as positive things travel, sometimes negatives travel even faster. Zainab El Mahdy, a graduate of Cairo's Azhar University, was involved in many protests in the Egyptian Revolution. She has committed suicide because of a depressive streak following the uprising. This article goes on to talk about the backlash of social media and how the youth are starting to move away from it now that they see its downfalls. A statement by the "April 6" Facebook page reads, "Each one of you in Zeinab's place shares her dreams of a modern, free country that respects people's lives and honors their freedom and dignity.. Each one of you who is depressed and is struggling with helplessness and hopelessness like Zeinab did: You must not forget, that .... your life is the most precious thing for us,"
