CAIRO - Inspired by the success of the January 25 revolution, a group of young Egyptians have decided to organise the first ever "Egypt Freedom Concert", an initiative to provide a platform for international celebrities and public figures to show solidarity with Egypt. The "Freedom Team" is composed of a group of youth who participated in the revolution, working at one of the most well established events companies in Egypt, with one common goal; planning and implementing Egypt reform projects. The first major project is organising the biggest outdoor concert worldwide, hosting the most prominent international celebrities, say organisers. The initiative was established not only to prove the Egyptian civilised aspect, and promote tourism, but also to promote all democratic movements globally and for all nations to demonstrate solidarity, they add. The "Freedom Team" stated: Our "Freedom Team" will devote our efforts and time to organize the first "Egypt Freedom Concert." "For the period of 18 days, Egyptians from all walks of life gathered together in unity and peace to achieve their goal, during which our youth have set examples for generations to come on the value of humanity. And in this process, we received many words of support and messages of solidarity from individuals and public figures worldwide, which empowered all Egyptians from the first day until the day of celebration," the team added. "Now, as the youth of the revolution, we are calling on the world to put these words into action. We need you now more than ever, to prove that Egypt is and will remain a safe destination, and to support us in our ongoing process of development. Egypt is waiting for the world. If we really inspired those words from you, then we need you to come to show that you support freedom." Mohamed Sherdy, an ex-MP of opposition Wafd Party and the manager of a PR company has said: "I am very proud of our youth who have taken this initiative and will dedicate all our efforts and resources to see this project come to life". No date has yet be set for the concert. All relevant details can be checked on Facebook page: Egypt Freedom Concert.
