Clinton sees validation of Gandhi's principles in Egypt
Effusively praising Egypt's youth for bringing about a bloodless revolution, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said the success of the country's uprising had validated yet again the principles propounded by Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
In a web-social media interaction with Egyptians and later in her remarks at a conference, Clinton said leaders like Gandhi and King showed to the world how to bring transformation without picking a gun.
She said their teachings become all the more relevant in today's context when people across the Middle East have taken to the streets, protesting peacefully for change.
"I am very proud of what Egyptian young people have done. You have set such an extraordinary example of non-violent, peaceful protest," Clinton said during her social media dialogue with Ahmed Ghanim of Egypt for which more than 6,500 questions were received through Facebook, Twitter and Masrawy.com.
