WHERE THE EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION IS GOING TO

EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION UNSTOPPABLE.
The 2nd stage just started.
Haz, February 2, 2011

There are more than 200 videos already circulated all over the world. Only AlJazeeraEnglish has already collected 18,846 videos. I got many debates and speeches but few of them with comments in English, enough to make a craft on future events (see below: Where the Egyptian Revolution is going to).

Listen this speech –translated to English- that start by quoting Thomas Jefferson:

"When the government fears the people there is liberty; when the people fear the government there is tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson. This is the truth. We Egyptian people has lost our fear of the Govt. .. and the speech finish: Freedom for the egyptian people. Mubarak go to the USA!!.

Or this other speech that start quoting Aristotles: "Poverty is the parent of revolution and a crime" Aristotle 384 BC-322 BC.

“Egypt is rebelling because their Gov. is Broke& America DEBTS=$100 Trillion! Most Egyptians are living on $2 per day & Starving, the Gov cut their FOOD aid, then food prices began rising-all because the IMF & World Bank loaned Egypt money at high interest, demanded political favors, when Egypt can't pay, Global Bankers demanded Egypts resources & later high tax & austerity measures on populus.”

Or this other one:

“Egypt revolution is part of the world revolution. It is the new world order vs Puerto Rico and England students, it is the globalization leads by big corporations vs the riots in Greece, revolts in Italy, teachers strikes in the US and ,now is Egypt. There is only one struggle, is the fight against globalization lead by transnationals. And there is only one aim: the united front of all oppressed people. Our struggle will continue till we achieve this goal in our country. We are going to start in Egypt from the bottom up, we are going to build united fronts for democracy in all major cities and towns; and we are going to run our own elections and create our own authorities. Mubarak is a criminal, we are going to bury him in an Egyptian prison for crimes against humanity, for corruption and selling our country and humiliating our nation. Freedom for the egyptian people. Mubarak go now to the USA, later on will be late!!

Similar voices describe a puppet, from different people in different places!
No doubt there is a collective synergy that perfectly fits in one word “revolution”, or in two “UNITED EGYPT”.

This is the energy of freedom and democracy, a type of energy that will go up and up until achieve its goal. Every Egyptian wants to be a subject, wants to make history and after 30 years of repression, missery and humilliation, life won't count. It is totally irresponsible to sacrifice this life in the part of the US by keepping this dictator in power in the name of "transition". Transition to real democracy is something that they should do in their own country, a country ruled by big evil corporations that are causing too much missery all over the world. In Egypt the army should depost Mubarak, put him in prison and call for inmediate elecctions. Keep Mubarak in power will cost to much Egyptian lives and it wont contain people will and decision to achieve freedom and democracy. It will strength and radicalized such spirit instead. The US policiy in favor of Mubarak is wrong and is time to correct it now.

In Ahmed Agour blog you will find easily 151 videos. Open (go first to http://english.aljazeera.net/) the ILLUMINA TISA TANIST 151 videos

In the video below you will see one of many killing of innocent people.
Here is shown the execution of a person who walking peacefully from one sidewalk to the other from an American helicopter. This is why they start chanting!!Mubarak go to the USA!! As it was expected, the repression of peaceful demonstration start creating resentment on the US. All the unrest started when Mubarak announced that he won’t resign until next elections, as top US official demanded. Alexandria was the first town that expressed openly their upset. Leaders in the Square of Cairo demanded planned actions, no violence.

Soon as people knew that Elbaradei was having talks with members of the US embassy, people eyes were looking at Khalid Nasser as potential democratic figure to replace Mubarak. People is looking for new leaders. Khalid was among the demonstrators. See this one is brief and in English.

WHERE THE EGYPTIAN REV IS GOING TO?

From the speeches and interviews on the ground we can draft some potential avenues for this revolution. Here the likely options:

1. Civil disobedience with peaceful actions at local level. People will try to organize first a United Local Front for Democracy. Purpose: to disassemble Mubarak power and build up their own one. Focus: the electoral institution and other institutions whose officials will be requested to renounce and invited to collaborate with the United front. Even if they do not give up power, the People Assembly will delegitimize them and recognize the Local Committee set by the People Assembly.

2. Dual Power. Mobilization and actions (either open or clandestine) in all that is concern and interest of the people in the town. The option “clandestine operations” will be the result of police repression.

3. Collection data for the file “Crimes against humanity” against Mubarak and top members of the Police. A committee will be set and contact with judges inside and abroad to indict Mubarak. The Arab league will be push to create a Truth Committee and bring the case to international Courts.

4. Build up the File “corruption” against Mubarak regime. Similar proceeding as above.

It has been scheduled the Friday demonstration. People will avoid any violent confrontation with the police. Banners with people killed, disappeared or tortured will be shown in the streets.

Two documents from Al Jazeera:

Mubarak to stay on till election

Clashes erupt in Alexandria shortly after Egypt president's speech, in which he announces he will not seek another term.

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2011/02/201121191413252982.html

CAIRO, EGYPT - Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, has announced in a televised address that he will not run for re-election but refused to step down from office - the central demand of millions of protesters who have demonstrated across Egypt over the past week.

He seemed largely unfazed by the protests during his recorded address, which aired at 11pm local time on Tuesday.

Mubarak mentioned them at the beginning of his speech, and said that "the young people" have the right to peaceful demonstrations. But his tone quickly turned accusatory, saying the protesters had been "taken advantage of" by people trying to "undermine the government".

Until now, officials had indicated Mubarak, 82, was likely to run for a sixth six-year term of office.

Shortly after Mubarak's speech clashes broke out between pro and anti-government protesters in Mahatit Masr square in the port city of Alexandria, Al Jazeera's correspondent there reported.

His announcement follows a week of protests, in which millions of people have taken to the streets in Cairo and elsewhere.

In his address Mubarak said he never intended to run for re-election.
"I will use the remaining months of my term in office to fill the peoples' demands," he said.

That would leave Mubarak in charge of overseeing a transitional government until the next presidential election, currently scheduled for September. He promised reforms to the constitution, particularly article 76, which makes it virtually impossible for independent candidates to run for office. And he said his government would focus on improving the economy and providing jobs.

"My new government will be responsive to the needs of young people," he said. "It will fulfil those legitimate demands and help the return of stability and security."
Mubarak also made a point of saying that he would "die in this land" - a message to protesters that he did not plan to flee into exile like recently deposed Tunisian president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

But his speech will not carry much weight with protesters: they resumed their "Leave, Mubarak!" chant shortly after his speech, and added a few new slogans, like "we won't leave tomorrow, we won't leave Thursday ..."

None of the protesters interviewed earlier today said they would accept Mubarak finishing his term in office.

"He needs to leave now," Hassan Moussa said in Tahrir Square hours before Mubarak's announcement.
"We won't accept him leaving in September, or handing power to [newly-installed vice president] Omar Suleiman. He needs to leave now."

So the protests continue to feel like a waiting game – as if Mubarak is hoping to simply outlast the crowds amassed downtown.

"When the people of a nation decide something, then it will happen," said Abdullah Said Ahmed, a student from Al-Azhar University.

"The United States chooses its leaders. We're going to choose ours. Our patience can do anything."

"I'll stay here until I die or until the system changes," said Saber Shanan.
Mubarak's announcement comes after pressure from the US, which urged him not to seek re-election. Frank Wisner, a former ambassador to Egypt, met Mubarak on Monday and reportedly told him not to extend his time in office.

Open the above site to see events in different places of Egypt:

Cairo: more than a million people gathered in and around Tahrir Square

Alexandria: Hundreds of thousands of protesters marched in the city
Sinai: Around 250,000 protesters rallied
El-Mahalla el-Kubra: Up to 250,000 people demonstrated
Hundreds of thousands also marched in Port Said, Suez, and Menya

US envoy meets ElBaradei

US ambassador to Egypt holds talks with opposition figure amid ongoing anti-government protests.

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2011/02/201121173116367979.html

Margaret Scobey, the US ambassador to Egypt, has spoken to Egyptian opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei, according to the US state department.

ElBaradei, a former head of the UN nuclear watchdog turned democracy advocate, returned to Egypt last week and has offered to act as a transitional leader to prepare Egypt for democratic elections amid mounting protests against President Hosni Mubarak.

"As part of our public outreach to convey support for an orderly transition in Egypt, Ambassador Scobey spoke today with Mohammed ElBaradei," PJ Crowley, the US state department spokesman, said in a message on Twitter on Tuesday.

The ongoing turmoil in Egypt is being closely watched by Washington since Mubarak has been a strategic US ally. Analysts say Washington also wields considerable influence over Cairo since Egypt receives $1.5bn in military aid annually from the US.

ElBaradei, 68, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work at the International Atomic Energy Agency, has participated in the recent protests but analysts say he has limited public appeal in the country due to his long absences from the country.
