CAIRO - Wael Ghoneim was one of millions of Egyptians who voted in a landmark referendum on constitutional reforms on Saturday. Having launched his popular Facebook page, ‘We are all Khaled Saeed', Ghoneim, the page's administrator and regional manager for Google, has become as famous as a movie star. ‘We are all Khaled Saeed' is considered to be the page that ignited the Egyptian revolution, which toppled long-standing president Hosni Mubarak. When he turned up at a school in el-Agouza in Giza to vote in the referendum, he caught everyone's attention and the girls among them vied to have their photo taken with him. The queue was very long and many young people offered to let Wael go in front of them, but he refused and insisted on waiting his turn like any other Egyptian. The other voters were very impressed by his attitude. Ghoneim, who had been detained for 12 days during the popular revolt against Mubarak, also refused to say which way he'd voted, so as not to influence anybody else. “Today I'm so proud that I'm Egyptian. This is the first time I've seen millions of Egyptians participating in political life,” he told the evening daily Al-Mesaa, denying that he'd travelled abroad and wouldn't participate in the referendum.
