The issue now is not whether we trust the army or not, we all know they are divided and that Tantawi is giving ample time for Hosni and the old guards to destroy all evidence to implicate them as he is part of them, but this is not our issue now, what do we need of course our ultimate goal is a free democratic Egypt where its citizen benefit from normal descent human services in transportation, education, medical and others, where we have the right to perform all our political and social activities without any discrimination. A country where we can live in security without fear of torture. It is crutial to reach this to work on the Eradication of poverty, unemployment and ignorance. This is the big picture but let us focus our current situation.
As for our current situation, we are in a very critical situation, we are losing hope, I can see many people who were optimistic are losing hope and faith. The most important demands we have and we need to focus on are:
1. Dissolve the rest of the old regime's figures : it is not acceptable to have them running the country, Aboulgheit Wagdy and Marei these three figures must leave and get prosecuted along with all Hosni Mubarak's old guards: Azmy, Sourour, Safwat and all. This is a crucial demand that we cannot move one step before realizing this demand. We do not trust them they are as implicated in all the wrongdoings even if the head went the body is still there and we can never achieve any progress unless we realize this demand.
2. Security: We need a clear time table of when is the police is going to resume its tasks and what are the measures taken to rehabilitate policemen and till this happens army cannot disappear like they did leaving the country back to chaos and thugs. Mahmoud Wagdy failed in securing the country and has the same mentality of the old regime well he is one of them after all.
3. transparency we need to know the answers to crucial questions :
a. Where is Hosni Mubarak , he is now a normal citizen, we have the right to know where he is and we have the right to see him prosecuted. This lack of information is quite scary.
b. Why is it that only the new guards as they call them- Gamal allies were put on trial: Garana, Ezz, Rachid and Maghraby.
They are distracting us, they are taking our positive energy all the amazing success we achieved in the revolution and they are channeling us in other directions… distraction and more distraction with security issues, with all sorts of issue we have to be firm and very clear… our first big and crucial demand is that all the old figures must leave and that includes Tantawi he is Mubarak's man and we do not trust him .
We do not mind postponing the elections a little bit, but we will never ever accept any one from the old regime to run for elections that must be very clear: Omar Suliman and Ahmed Shafik and similar names cannot be accepted as presidents ..we can never achieve what we want unless we get rid of the old regime all of it, to dream of the future we want we need to get rid of everything bad in the past and lay a solid foundation that cannot be achieved with all the wrong things and people still in power.
Something else which is very important I think we need to have a big event/ meeting that will include figures that were always pro democracy, writers, actors, politicians we need to join hands and their experience is much needed in the coming period and in pushing the to get the old figures to get prosecuted… we all need to unite and have one clear unified message
Priority is not new president or new parliament priority is selecting the right people to guide us in the coming period to make sure we do things right......
1.We must stress on the security issue.
Meaning: the divide in the Egyptian population is causing the revolution to use momentum and support by the "average" Egyptian. This is primarily out of fear or insecurity. Regardless of who is the reason behind this chaos and horror on the streets, the fact is they can and should concentrate on fixing that
. This must be stressed and re-stressed and always clearly stating that the chaos has NOTHING to do with the demonstrations.
2. it must be made clear in no uncertain terms that if we back down now, while all the regime's fingers are still openly playing in all levels, this will lead to a general "depression" and that the population will be very short-circiuted in case of any future problems. We must explain that in order for us to carry the burden of this situation together, we must be satisfied with the achievements of the revolution before go home. We want to stop. We are tired. But we are afraid that should we follow their instructions and go home, we should be keeping the voice of reason loud within the revolution and we should remind them over and over again "how civilized we are" and "how we did not cause any harm" and all such points to depict the influence we have on the public. But should we appear on the streets as having sold the people short we will loose all leverage once the shit hits the fan again for whatever reason.
3.We must continue pushing the prolongation of the transitional period.
Meaning: we must be very clear that making "half changes" today will not lead to completing them in the future. Without a proper constitution with all the needed changes it is completely absurd making any kind of elections, whether presdiential or parliamentary. This is not about persons, it's about principles. If all the authorities of the president are left as is before we elect a new president then we are all (we and them) again dependant on his good will, regardless of what constitutional articles they plan on implementing to force him to continue the amendment process after his election to power. Also any parliament which will be elected before at least a minimum of one year will NEVER be a representative institution because the new political forces will never have had enough time to form and bundle their efforts to have any kind of effect on the street, and sure at that time we will have the same struggle with new ndp hidden represantatives
