This image very well portrays the issues occuring at the moment. One can distinguish government from the people as the soldiers are perfectly lined up in contrast with the chaotic protesters cramped and hanging from the wall. However, the image answers the question of "who's boss" as the protesters are seen on the wall, almost being admired by the witnesses as they look up to them. With the protesters having a bigger authority compared to the tiny soldiers, it can be assumed that the protesters are stronger in will and power. Also, in the photograph, the long wall stretches long and tall to seem incapable of being climbed upon. There is also a horizontal bar separating the protesters from the soldiers; indicating a misunderstanding or an opposition.

This editorial focuses on the reaction of the Egyptians as a result of this event. The paper suggests that Egyptians should worry about the future rather than complain about the present and blame the opponent. The editorial explains a few events, like the tearing of the Israeli flag and the accidental killing of three or five Egyptian men, which increased the tensions between Israel and Egypt even more. The Editorial strongly encourages Egypt to focus on the transition to the post-Mubarak era.
