Children of The Nile Abroad : I Vote

7 million Egyptians live outside this country whether as immigrants or as expats. These 7 million Egyptians are considered from the main sources of national income and hard currency to this country yet despite their importance to Egypt  they do not have the basic right of citizenship : To Vote in presidential elections vote
The right to vote is not available for Egyptians abroad despite many countries have this basic right for their citizens . I remember how the French embassy opened its doors to its citizens in Egypt so they would participate in the last presidential elections , in fact I remember how the Syrian embassy opened its doors to the Syrian elector citizens in Egypt so they could say Yes for Bashar Al-Assad in a carnival when our relations were good from couple of years ago. 
This is ABC of democracy , when we shall learn it !!?
Why someone like Dr. Ahmed Zowail or Dr. Mustafa El-Said does not have this right where as they consider themselves as proud Egyptians !!?
I think the Egyptians abroad should form unions and start thinking in exposing our regime through protests in front of our embassies around the globe demanding their basic right.
Here is a new group formed on the Facebook supporting this right and also supporting Mohamed ElBaradei.
 Update : 
- The Egyptians in UK promised to hold a protest next March holding ElBaradei posters
Here is another group formed on the facebook for the supporters of Mohamed ElBaradei in UAE , plz spread
