The Drive to
Find and Be Fortified by the Truth
We, the sons and daughters of Egypt
who took part in the protests from January 25, 2011 and till now declare:
NO! OUR DEMANDS HAVE NOT BEEN MET
á Only Mubarak – and
not the protestors – can save the country and the stock exchange, and
return the country to normal life, etcÉ.:
1.
only if he steps down
2.
and only if a national interim government to save the
country is established headed by the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court,
which would include the honest people of this land, to replace the government
of Mr. Ahmed Shafik, which is part of the previous government with some
new faces
3.
and only if the PeoplesÕ Assembly - which is
illegal as admitted by Mubarak himself in his speech yesterday - is disbanded
4.
and only if a new constitution is drafted.
á The System has decreased
our army, which is our protection against Israel in Sinai, and has formed a
secret army of thugs pitted against the Egyptians who are demanding their
rights in a peaceful manner.
á Mubarak – in his deal
with the Americans – is sacrificing the people and the country in return
for keeping his chair, the safety of his wealth, and a place for him and his
family.
á And in his deal with the
Americans, Mubarak is not ensuring a peaceful transfer of government, but he is
ensuring a replacement puppet government with new faces
á He is involving the country
in a civil war, where secret police wear civilian clothes, and unarmed
protestors are hit with burning Molotov bombs and tramped by horses and camels,
ambulances are prevented from saving the injured, and food and medical aid are
prevented from reaching them; and he claims he is preserving the security of
the country.
á He says in his speech that
the honest police force is to preserve the security of the country, then he orders
the police to withdraw from all parts of the country, after he has released
convicts and armed them, leaving the internal front exposed.
á The System, the
businessmen, and the politicians who benefit from him send the SystemÕs thugs
and a secret police force from the Ministry of the Interior dressed in civilian
clothes, with horses and camels, and armed with knives and other bladed
weapons, to trample the peaceful protestors and slaughter them.
á MubarakÕs secret army
throws Molotov bombs on the honest protestors who are calling for peaceful
protests.
á Mubarak claims he is
preserving the future of this country, then burns its history (the Egyptian
Museum) with Molotov bombs to pressure the honest protestors, because he knows
well that the youthful protestors fear for their history in the same way that
they fear for their mothers or their sisters.
WE THE
PROTESTORS IN TAHRIR SQUARE SINCE JANUARY 25, 2011 AND TILL NOW FEBRUARY 3,
2011 DEMAND:
1. The announcement that the President is stepping down
and is being replaced by the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court.
2. Abolishment of the Emergency Law and all laws that
limit freedoms, and a declaration of general amnesty for the original and
supplementary sentences that follows all the exceptional court trials of
politicians, as well as the release of all those incarcerated due to
exceptional sentences because of their political opinions and positions.
3. The independence of the judiciary.
4. The formation of a national interim government formed
of honest experts (technocrats), with no party or sectarian agendas, to run the
country.
5. The disbandment of the PeoplesÕ Assembly and the
Shoura Council, as well as the local councils.
6. The formation of a ÒCommittee of Wise PeopleÓ formed
of legislators and honest experts to draft a new constitution.
7. Holding free and honest parliamentary elections
including all factions without prevention or exception, under full
judiciary and popular supervision.
8. Immediate freezing of all holdings abroad of Egyptian
officials, and coordination with all governments to prevent the transfer of
these holdings until the conclusion of investigations to determine the source
of these holdings.
9. Bringing to trial the
former Minister of the Interior, Mr. Habib El-Adly, for charges of high
treason for the following reasons:
á Withdrawing the security
forces from all over the country
á Opening the prisons for the
convicts to escape, and providing the convicts with weapons, which they used
for terrorizing the citizens and destroying public establishments, in
cooperation with the Secret Police.
á Shooting live bullets at
the protestors who were calling for peaceful demonstrations
10. Bringing to trial the Mafia
of NDP representative in the PeoplesÕ Assembly, and their soldiers, the drug
thugs, who killed our sons and daughters – the unarmed protestors in
Tahrir Square – by trampling them with horses and camels, burning them
with Molotov bombs, and by shooting them with live bullets, on Wednesday and
Thursday February 2 & 3, 2011 – the second Day of Treason by the
System in a week, with more to come.
11. Bringing to trial Mr. Ahmed
Ezz and the confiscation of all his wealth.
And we suggest
that during negotiations with the Government, the Egyptian people should
be represented by the following experts, who are honest and are concerned with
the welfare of the country (you can look them all up on the Internet to learn
about each of them):
1. Nobel Laureate Dr. Ahmed Zewail
2. Mr. Amr Moussa – long time Egyptian politician
and current Secretary General of the Arab League
3. Counsellor Dr. Gawdat El- Malt - President of the
Central Auditing Organization (CAO)
4. Dr. Galal Amin – writer / intellectual who is
concerned with the study and analysis of the history of the Egyptians
5. Economist Dr. Ahmed Al-Najjar – of Al-Ahram
Center for Political & Strategic Studies. All his studies are
concerned with the problems of EgyptÕs economy.
6. Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb – Sheikh Al-Azhar. A moderate
intellectual and thinker.
7. Mohamed RefaÕa El-Tahtawy – Former Assistant to
the Egyptian Foreign Minister, and current Ambassador.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:
Q:
Why do we reject the government that Mubarak has formed?
A:
1. Because more than half of the new government are from
the previous corrupt government.
2. Because the new Minister of the Interior and his men
have not yet participated in the legitimate activities of the Ministry such as
the preservation of the peopleÕs security and serving the people.
He only changed the motto of the Ministry and changed the clothes of the
forces to civilian clothes, and used thugs to form his new troops.
3. The Minister of the Interior and his men are using
Molotov bombs, bladed weapons, live bullets, horses and camels, to kill,
suppress, and terrorize the unarmed protestors who are calling for peaceful
protests. The Minister and his men are also preventing medical aid and
food from getting to the peaceful protestors. If this is not being done
by the Minister and his men, then by whom ????? And why do they stand by watch
????? And if the Minister of the Interior does not know who is doing
these things, then who else can know????
Q: Why do we
reject Mr. Omar Soliman?
A: Because there are many marks and questions about him, such as:
1. His relationship to the suspect gas deal with Israel
which was won by a businessman who is a close personal friend of the Head of
the Israeli Mossad Mr. Shabtai Shavit <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabtai_Shavit>
,, who is himself a close friend of Mr. Omar Soliman.
2. Israel considers him to be the only guarantor of the
Peace Process. Why could that be?
3. He is known for his many rights infringements in his
relationship with the Moslem groups in the 90Õs, as well as his coordination
with the American CIA regarding the network of secret prisons for apprehension
and torture of dissidents against the New World Order.
