On February 18,2009, Dr. Ayman Nour was released from prison. Although his release took everyone by surprise,it was as if a candle had been lit in favor of democracy in the region. It is still unclear what kind of political career lies ahead for Dr. Nour, yet he will be remembered as a pioneer in the region for he stood up to the dictatorship. Such action on his part took real courage.
Forty days after Dr. Nour was released, he and his wife separated. It appears they have since divorced. Both Dr. Nour and his wife, Gameela,sacraficed their personal lives in their attempt to implement democracy in their nation. It is hoped that their scrafices will be acknowledged by their countrymen/women by keeping the effort going.
