Two Heroes: Wael Ghonim, Google Executive and Tunisian Fruit Vendor, Khaled Said Energized New Revolutions in Two Different Countries

Fed up with injustice, brutal regime's atrocities and lack of human rights in his native country, a young Tunisian fruit vendor set himself on fire. His sacrifice became a monumental factor for change in Tunisia. It was just a matter of days for the government of Tunisia led by the dictator to fall.

May the fruit vendor's soul rest in peace! Little did he know that his great sacrifice would reach beyond the borders of his country. In less than a few weeks, the Egyptian people rose up against Hosni Mubarack who was ruling for more than 30 years.

Wael Ghonim, sent to prison and released only to refocus, reorganize the Tahir Square protests, is seen by many as the face of the Egyptian revolution.

He is the first one to tell you that the positive and contributing actions of Google, facebook, twitter and Aljazeera network have helped the young people to topple Hosni M's government.

Wael Ghonim recognizes that his role has ended. He wants to go back to work. He wants to work a book on the movement.
