Game On or Off?!

Inside a political Organization like the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt you can find the man in charge who's usually the nice face for the media like Mohammed Badie who is the eighth General Guide (chairman) of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. , but always you will find the Rigid, tough and octopus-like man who control almost everything but from behind the closed doors like Mr.Khairat El-Shater who is an Egyptian engineer, businessman and Islamist political activist. And now He is the OFFICIAL Muslim Brotherhood's candidate for the Egyptian presidential election in 2012, From inside the the MB it's known that Khairat El-Shater is the most powerful man inside the 83 years old group, Otherwise he won't be the first MB candidate for presidency ever, which is historical!

Actually i don't understand the shock of some people specially internet activists from this announcement claiming that El-Shater himself stated before that the MB have NO any intentions for entering the presidential race earlier this year.. Anyway The idea that MB "promised" it would not run candidates not valid criticism, except internally -which is questionable because i don't trust Ikhwan Youth-. Blame those who believed them.

So this is the real start of the up coming game which appeared to the surface week ago, Nomination of El-Shater now is just the goal of the opposing statements between the MB and the SCAF which will make the MB introduce their candidate as the savior.

Despite these facts the situation in Egypt is not clear yet, specially in the presence of someone like Amr Moussa who will give SCAF the safe exit they want and the constitutional immunity for sure, and till now i can't see that Ikhwan is giving SCAF these features despite how they're acting the last months when they break up with the revolutionary side of Egypt.

So El-Shater showed up again on the Egyptian Political scene  after the revolution after he got amnesty by SCAF to get out of the prison, And directly after his release he started his project about the MB development in order to make the group stronger.

Of course the guy is amazing but after all he is amazing on the MB standards, and be sure when you hear a shocking news from the MB that he is behind that or at least he's a role in it, and it was clear specially after expelling Dr.Abo El-Fotoh from the MB when he announced about his intentions of running for presidency.

MB is not just a political reformist group at the age of 83 years old, It's developed over years to become a closed human society by the all means of the word, So a Father figure like El-Shater is not just a leader who may be left for a political dissenting opinion, for the most of Ikhwan youth it's much more deeper than that.

Talking about the gab between the MB leaders and the youth as it's something should be used against the MB is just ridiculous and it was very obvious just after few minutes of the announcement when many MB youth defected from Dr.Abo El-Fotoh campaign to El-Shater's campaign and this is because of the opacity of the guy.

A man like El-Shater is a man with a project who will do whatever it takes to make his dream real, specially after years of oppression and prison, and the project is obvious now.. MB take EVERYTHING.

How will Egyptian leftists deal with this news?

Till this moment i have no idea.. but we have to accept the fact that we have nothing to do except organizing the people not mobilizing them against the president they were waiting for since 11th of February 2011, most of Egyptians think that the Solution is the New president who will make their lives better which is not right of course.. because running the economy with the same minds "Pockets" will never change the file citizen financial status.

Do you think that it's a smart move? The announcement?

Will they break the rule saying that "An underground group like MB cannot live in real democratic atmosphere."?

Consider that they already having almost everything.. Constitution, Parliament...

I'll leave the long introductions a side now because the issue is very obvious now, actually i may be the last one who started to talk about it or state an opinion which i don't have to be honest, So i'll tell you nothing but a new theory of my theories. **

As it appear to the public the underlying statement clashes between the ruling military and the Muslim Brotherhood from which Egyptian online activists started their jokes which really broke the silence and boredom of the current days in the Egyptian "Blogsphere", But all end to the same conclusion which is that they will leave MB alone to face the SCAF as a way of revenge from them as they did sold the youth many times to the regime.

Ok, enough comics!

Most of the traditional theories about how the ruling regimes work are based on the fact of if two Capital regimes faced each other none of them will lose anything but the confused people between them will be slaughtered if there is no real representative leadership for them to organize their struggle for better world, So this is simply what happened in many opinions in 1954 when the military ruling council suppressed the MBs as they asked for a share in the authority.

I can agree that the players have the same names now like they were in 1954 but there are many differences in the structure of both!

You cannot compare the Muslim Brotherhood now and 60 years ago, because Only the blind who will say that they didn't develop themselves, studied the game well and now they did get some gains from a revolution they refused to support from the beginning.. but add to this their hunger to power which blinded them and dragged them away from the people's demands to gain some demands for their minority in comparison to the masses may hit the streets looking for their share sooner or later.

What you can Compare is the state of the military regimes in 1954 and now and anyone can see that they are the same but with different names but the tools still the same: Tanks, Media, "Fake Good Intentions", etc..  

We should learn from History but we should take these changes in consideration otherwise the whole struggle will go in vain.

Here is the way i think it will go:

-The famous 1954 Scenario will not repeat itself except in one case which is the deep stupidity from the MB side.

-I believe that the the whole issue is fake blackmailing between them both in order to sweep our sights from something going on or will happen in the back scenes.

But what if the MB will have a real clash with SCAF?

This question will be answered by days, but the sure thing is none of their loses both will be compared to the people's loss in case of the Leftist Groups didn't gain the people to their side to protect their struggle.

What if the MB didn't have the people's support facing the SCAF?

What if the MB embarrassed the SCAF with the people's support?

We can state millions of "What if" questions.. but i really deeply believe that it doesn't matter!

I hope you got it.. Right.

Here's one of the most descriptive images of the relation between SCAF and MB now by an Egyptian facebookers:

It's happening.. Ikhwan?

For years The Muslim Brotherhood movement or group was fighting to take over the power in Egypt since they started they activity on the political scene 1928 when  in Egypt by the Islamic scholar and schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna, They depended on the political activism combined with the islamic charity work wich gave them a broad sector of supporters over years specially in a poor society like Egypt which force the people to hold on  any thing religious to overcome the brutality of daily life and suffer.

As we all know how the MB suffered from the authorities since their early beginning because their fight was against the suppression of the regime ruling Egypt years ago.. The funny thing is that MB members keep telling us -whether the leftists or any other movements- that they are the oldest struggler and they are more worthy than anyone to take over the power in Egypt, but they never chanted against Mubarak over the 30 years he killed and  imprisoned hundreds of them maybe thousandths.. 

Last year i talked about the secret agreement between the MB and SCAF but back then it was just a theory but now it's happening on the Ground.. check this post The secret Agreement 

And now during the 1st. anniversary of the 1st spark of the Egyptian revolution and after the MB took over about half of the parliament, they are trying to show the world and the media that the huge million people marches happening every day now is just a way of celebration not a protests demanding bringing the SCAF to trials, the most famous chants nowadays in tahrir Square are directed against the MB stage when they turn on songs! using their huge loud speakers, Chants like "this is not a concert.. this is a revolution" and "sell sell sell the revolution Mr.Badei'" 

Yesterday the 27th of January 2012, protesters in tahrir square got sick of the MBs activities and shameful actions which forced the people to chant against the parliament and the MB, even many people said that they were conned by the MB when they voted for them.

Here's the Video from Mosireen showing the reaction of the protesters against the MB stage performance yesterday.. check out the Video from here.. Tahrir's response to the Muslim Brotherhood 

Now after MB -Ikhwan- is in power.. should we expect anything from them? 

i think we shouldn't expect anything from them as they cheered for the SCAF in the 1st. session of the parliament, even they are asking for immunity to the SCAF generals in case they handle the power to civilians..

How hypocritical is that?! 

Down with opportunism..

Good intentions that could kill the revolution.

There is a great difference between being a revolutionary and being a reformist, but it's not a sin to be a reformist because everyone work for a better world according to his visions and convictions, but this may work when there is lack of the revolutionary momentum in the streets asking for a radical and immediate change of certain situation, but if this radical momentum existed so the reformatory efforts at this particular time will be wrong and may be considered as a sort of treason to the masses in the streets.

What i am talking about here is the latest reformist initiatives by many activists supposed to lead the revolution to the next step of success or at least to show the people the way to their victory not to kill the radical change in them by these Reformatory actions which proved their failure even before they start! like Masrena and the campaign preceded it which was "Buy the Egyptian".

The second one was a pathetic attempt from a capital regime to raise the economy and save the corrupt state from breakdown.

The first one aims to build a bridge between the revolutionaries and the normal people in an attempt to gain them but in the fact the timing of it proved that they want to withdraw the legitimacy from the rebels in the streets like what happened during the November uprising and Mohamed Mahmoud st. clashes when Some reformists called for the parliamentary elections and told the people that it is the only solution is a SCAF made parliament, not that only but the ridiculous was that they raised slogans saying "we will vote and return to the square!".

Another comment on "Masrena" campaign is the end result of their actions which will result in creating a generation of good looking politicians to withdraw the legitimacy from the poor and hard working rebels demanding the radical immediate change.
Here's a question  i need an answer to it:

What will "Masrena" do and the difference between them and the brilliant Tweetshare3 campaign?
In my opinion the second one is enough and more effective as they achieved a lot and their goal is to bring the people down to the streets when the square needs them through building real bridges with the people based on their demands not the organizer's demand!
"Masrena doesn't offer anything new, and refused to cooperate with us" said Dr.Ahmed Gamaleldin, one of Tweetshare3 activists.

Finally what i want to say is that we didn't revolted to accept the half-solutions, but these actions is reducing the roof of the people's demands and dreams, so Stop Them to keep our revolution alive.

Short movie: Hidden hands? - أيادي خفيه ؟

This simple short movie shows what is happening in Egypt since the 11th of February 2011 till now.
Shows how is SCAF dealing with the "Couch Party" -people with no political alliance or who only sit on their couches watching the state media- and the Revolutionaries.
SCAF with the power of controlling the media and the trust based on fear of instability they planted through the "transitional" period succeeded to break the bond or even weakening it which was between the revolutionaries and the rest of the people using the Famous disgusting theory of the 3rd factor and the hidden hands which is SCAF themselves!
Enjoy it!

Alaa's release need a political decision

Tweet

It's obvious since a long time ago that the detention of Alaa Abdel Fatah the Egyptian blogger and activist wasn't for a real charges but Alaa's battle was totally different from that, Alaa defended his right and the right of the other 12,000 civilians to be tried in front of their normal judge and to end the legitimacy of the military trials of civilians.

Fake charges, Fake evidences, Fake Farcical trial and stinky situation this what Alaa is facing in the moment.

They know that he's innocent but the SCAF stupidity which is normal deluded to them that if they detained the most Egyptian blogger now this would scare the others and as usual they were wrong.

Mr.Ahmed Sief El-Islam Alaa's father and lawyer asked the stinky state security emergency court to take a look to Alaa's tweets, Facebook updates and tracing his mobile phone locations the day of Maspero massacre which contain the innocence evidences ! which they are aware of and already traced by them, according to His father Alaa will have his first baby "khaled" by the end of this week while he's behind the oppression bars.

After the ignorance of the evidences Mr.Ahmed Sief decided to publish the whole set of evidences on public and let the people decide in order to make pressure on the SCAF.

I won't offer you a community service, I am offering you a revolution

Tweet

It's normal that none can face the whole world alone without support from the people he's fighting for their rights, but it's not necessarily when he lose support he will despair, every man with belief and dream of the world have to be a better place should not give up his dream in a world free of dreamers.
But how to get the support back when you lose it ?
In a country like Egypt under the current economic situation it's kind of exhausting to have the people around you to fight a corrupt system with a very powerful weapons and dominating everything except YOUR WILL.
Here's the difference between a revolutionary and an opportunist in such situation.
An opportunist will search for what people need and looking for and will deliver it to the people at home sometimes and this is great actually ,but then you the revolutionary spirit inside everyone of those who accepted the service will vanish, may be they will become slaves of the service, but the best part here is that they will leave you alone the minute when the service is over so at this time you will be alone and the outcome is losing money!
I don't think that anyone want to face something like that and if i want the people's support i have to go for it myself, talk to them, learn from them, convince them that my struggle is for their good and how we need to unite and the most important is to think as they think to understand where are they from my fight against the system.
Another reason why i won't offer any services is the idea of "body with many arms can be injured easily" and that will give a chance to the opponent to take me away from my original battle !
During a fight none will like having a fake support based on a interest.
If Egyptians believed just like they believed back in the 25th of January, they will do any thing.

Revolution is the only solution .. but when ?

Tweet

After any revolution in the history every nation undergoes a series of changes or a trasitional phases leading to that radical change in the people's economical, political, cultural and social status after which they can say that the thing happened several years ago was a revolution, during these changing phases people go through very confusing times in the economical, political, cultural and social status but the severity and timing of the changes are dependent on the new ruling regime.

The disturbances people go through may work for the good of them in one case and it's the normal case i think, in which the people who revolted took over the power and started to run it in a revolutionary way.

Why ? .. Because the one who revolted is the only one who has the motives, passion to make his life better and the most important that he's the only one who know the reasons why he revolted which means that he is seeing the full image in addition that People are always expecting the change which will affect their life directly, positively and quickly, bread prices in Egypt for an example as it considered as the main component of the diet basket here.

How this will help ? -quick direct effect actions- ?
People will understand that the wind of revolution has just started and will make them believe more and more in their revolution, even for those who were sitting on their couches judging the people and were against it will have the opportunity to RE-think about the change and that will be for their own good too, and this is how the revolution will remain strong gaining more people every time it direct the people when change.

This will not happen if the new ruling regime wasn't a revolutionary or at least believe in the revolution, this will take us to the types of the new regimes in my opinion if we will describe them as people.

1st. The Revolutionary which come from between the people who did revolt or chosen by the revolutionaries, may be the leader of it or the revolutionary party leader, the only who will lead the radical change and the social revolution people looking forward to.

2nd. The Reformist which used to be a revolutionary but he lost his revolutionary sense and became an opportunist or he see that the minor primary change which already happened is enough and won't be able to face the counter-revolution from the old regime which will make a continuous attempts to rearrange it's cards to take over the power again and in many occasions the old one did it.


3rd. The alternative acceptable face of the old regime (New face-old body) which will deceive people with the pro revolution mask but in the fact it will keep the old regime tools at their places with a deceptive  face change with same bodies and will give the people the feeling of the change but won't be that radical change which will last, and furthermore they will try to hijack the revolution from it's rebels starting to distort them using the system dogs like the media and the repressive means like the unjust trials and leading the underground counter-revolution.


Through the history all rebels around the world should learn the most important lesson which will affect their revolution which is "never ever trust or ally the bourgeoisie".

For the worker's republic allying the bourgeoisie forces will harm more than it will help because in simple words the Bourgeoisie won't accept the conflict of interests and the end result will be the slaughtering of the proletariat just like what is happening now in Egypt, when SCAF jumped into the power in Egypt wearing that Alternative New face of the Old regime claiming that they are pro revolution with a creamy promises with peaceful changes and real social revolution, and that never happened.

Why SCAF remain in power till this moment ?
As i said before the 3rd type of the new ruling regime (New face-old body) will use all the system dogs to gain the people's trust and the moment they did that they started to reproduce the old regime which will protect their interests so they will never lead the social revolution with the arms in their hands furthermore they will slaughter anyone who will try to come close to them and the examples are numerous here .. Maspero, Abbasya, 8april.

SCAF ruling Egypt now comfortably .. why ?
The absence of the revolutionary party which is the only choice can lead the social change and continue the struggle with the proletariat, in Egypt there is no real opposing power to SCAF on the ground because most of the political forces were opportunists and allied SCAF which the thing was dropped their revolutionist struggle and left the people with no choices except accepting the solutions SCAF giving and playing the game according to the SCAF's rules like the elections for an example.

The only solution is revolution lead by the workers who without their struggle we would see Mubarak in the TV. till now, Mubarak forced to step down when he started to be a threat to the whole capitalist regime when the workers through Egypt went on strikes which really shaken the system during the last days before removing Mubarak.

I think we should learn from history.

The thin line

Tweet

Between every word and it's opposing there is a thin line separates them, Not all of us can really distinguish this thin line which crossing it sometimes can cost a life, it's that thin line between being smart and being stupid, between being good and being naive.
It's that thin line between being a revolutionary and being a jerk !

Revolution is an act of love, and the first motivation is always the feelings against obsession, injustice and humiliation.
Can you really control you feelings 24/7 ?  Answer is NO

But being in a place in which your decision will affect others decisions should have the power to change it and controlling your feelings and make your mind take control of the situation.

When you compare the field status to other historic events you shouldn't ignore the historic, cultural, geographic and psychological differences between people and cultures so here's the thing "Compare what is Comparable".


For some of us who stick to one Theory through out their whole life i want to tell them that there is a thin line between believing in the theory as a possible way to make the world better and mania and being a slave to the theory and this is possible after a long time may be ages of oppression but on the other hand the ages of the oppression can make the fighter more open minded, smart enough to be flexible and adapt himself and his theories to the right situation in the right time.

The theory is like the desert or the base of a still undefined building so without the life experience it will remain a barren desert or an undefined high building, that experience gained by two ways the first one will take a long time to be understood through the battles man enters every day ! and in the end of each one of them the real revolutionary should learn from his mistakes first then to look into the benefits he gained from that daily struggle, the second one is much easier in which the man should learn from others experiences very well and start to "Compare what is Comparable"

Revolution is radical in nature, but even radicalism should have protective boundaries when your radicalism will affect others specially when they depend on you and trust your decisions.
In my opinion a true revolutionary is the one who can say that he's weak when he's weak and need a break to rearrange his arms.

Taking the right decision in the right time isn't an easy job actually but it could be easy when the reasonable on the ground has the sight of leading the people to the profitable area.

In a revolution there are many opposite actions and principles like being radical and reasonable in the same time ! but the true revolutionary is the one who can manage all those fighting feelings inside him and make them work in a harmonious way for the good of his people and himself.


Never give up your principles but make sure to choose the right one in the right time, and it's never too late, so Revolt !

This Graffiti i found on a wall on the street where the #OccupyCabinet sit-in taking place.

In the photo to the Right you find Samira Ibrahim the Egyptian revolutionary who sued the army and accuses the miliaty of subjecting her to torture and abuse, including a so-called “virginity test,” while in military detention back in March.

Samira Ibrahim, along with 16 other women, were detained during a demonstration on March 9. She was held for four days and during that time, she said, soldiers beat her repeatedly. They subjected her to electric shocks, screamed at her and threatened her. Then, worst of all, they made her strip so a man in a military uniform could check to see if she was a virgin.

In the photo to the left you find Aliaa El-Mahdy a feminist Egyptian activist who is making a bold and potentially dangerous statement, Egyptian university student Aliaa Magda Elmahdy posted a nude picture of herself on her blog, attracting 4.5 million hits.

Away from my own point of view in such a case the difference here about this piece of art -the graffiti- and what makes it very brilliant is that many Egyptians don't really know Who is Samira ? but in a few hours The whole world did know about Aliaa despite the 2 cases are a feminist cases.

If want to compare between the awareness between the two cases just check the video Samira appear in talking about her case views out and check out Aliaa's blog visitors !

Aliaa El-Mahdy 's blog > Nude Revolutionary 

Samira Ibrahim 's Video > Samira and the Army : Egyptian girl Story 

Don't you think that it's stupidity to encounter feminism by feminism ? 

Do you think that Shock treatment would work on a society like the Egyptian society ?

Before you say that this society is backward society, you have to know the historic and social differences between this society and the others you are comparing with.

Freedom is a gift so don't abuse your freedom > Abuse of freedom

I won't judge anyone here, but i think we should LET THE WORLD KNOW.

CKUT Voices from Egypt - with Dr. Sabry Khaled re: Tahrir field hospitals & 2nd Revolution by Lillian Boctor
This interview was broadcast on 29 November 2011 on CKUT 90.3 Montreal radio on The Tuesday Morning After program.

"As voting in the first post-Mubarak Egyptian Parliamentary elections carries on into the second day, the second wave of the Revolution continues in Tahrir Square and throughout Egypt. After a demonstration on Friday, 18 November 2011, calling for an end to military rule, about 200 people, mainly family members of martyrs who died in the January 25 uprisings and people who were previously injured, staged a sit-in at Tahrir Square. Central Security Forces and Egyptian military police violently dismantled the sit-in, and since then, thousands have come together to reoccupy Tahrir Square. The police and military continued to attack protesters throughout the week, in Tahrir and throughout Egypt, with live bullets, extremely potent tear gas and invisible gas, bird-shot, rubber bullets and other ammunition.

During last week’s protests and the ensuing violence by security forces and military police, Prime Minister Essam Sharaf’s interim government resigned. The ruling military council appointed 78-year-old Kamal El-Ganzouri as Prime Minister, a move strongly opposed by various political parties, revolutionary coalitions and protesters throughout the country, who are calling for a national salvation government that would include presidential candidates Mohamed ElBaradei, Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh and Hamdeen Sabahy.

Attacks on protesters by Central Security Forces and military police killed over 50 people and wounded thousands throughout Egypt. The protesters continue their occupation of Tahrir Square and cities and towns throughout the country demanding that the ruling military council, or SCAF, steps down. In Cairo, protesters are also blocking the Cabinet building, to prevent SCAF-appointed Prime Minister El-Ganzoury from entering."

I came from a place where they say that who is doing two things at the same time is a liar and who is doing three at the same time is hypocrite.
Between the reality, cruelty and severity of life an idea came up to the surface and a voice heard saying "World can be a better place".
Such a big lie that you can make the world a better place through doing what you are supposed to do in your place, because if you did so in our part of the world the world won't be a better place for all people, just you will have some fake pleasure while others will remain suffering, many of us didn't live that life in which they dreamed of a small piece of bread so i don't think that they will feel what the suffering ones feel and may be they will blame them for what they are, unfortunately many of us lost the holly sense of humanity.
In a dictatorship trying to make the world better is considered as sort of illegal activism, even humanity is illegal and sometimes called wrong not responsible actions.
So during that journey danger is a lifetime friend and it varies, may be death, jail, injuries or sometimes it may cost you a whole life and a future.
During that journey you will be surprised by how many people will say "what the hell are you doing?", un fortunately your answer won't be that clear for them, may be they will never get it till they see the difference you can provide on earth, but even more people will remain silent or they will surprise you again saying "AND ?" "WHY you are doing this ?".
You should believe that you are doing a great thing, you have to love it.
But when you reach a certain point when you look around and see what you left from your 1st. life you will start to ask your self the same questions others used to ask you, believe me if your answers were convincing and satisfactory for you so you are on the right way.
None said that you will gain nothing, No you will be a human being and it's rare these days.
In the middle of this journey it's very possible that you will be frustrated, depressed or you may quit, the thing here is whatever the phase you quit in be sure that you did something good.
At a certain stage you may feel that something is missing from your life specially when others keep pushing on you and when you look around to discover that you have two lives one of them gives you the feeling that you are alive and the second is the one you have to live just because you have to and it's the normal for the people around and we are not alone on this planet.
Try to get a life, if you get both you are lucky.
just saying !

New Video : A true revolutionary :- Kamal Khalil - chants at #OccupyCabinet

Tweet

 

Egyptian engineer and labour activist. He is a leading member of the Revolutionary socialists, a representative of the Workers Democratic Party and the founder and director of the Center for Socialist Studies in Cairo.

He showed last night 26th of November 2011 at #OccupyCabinet and lead the chants against Tantawy, SCAF and the parliament calling for social justice and democracy.
Protesters from tahrir square decided to move a part from the main tahrir sit-in to the cabinet in order to prevent El-Ganzoury from entering the building and as mean of showing SCAF their rejection of announcing him as the new PM.

Election and military rule

Tweet

2 sit-ins Tahrir and the cabinet, voices calling for boycotting the elections, other voices calling for going for elections, martyrs every day, this is the situation now.

If we compared the voices conflicting about boycotting elections, we will find that all the political forces except the revolutionary socialists are calling for elections and completion of the sit-ins in order to bring the legitimacy of the SCAF down.

But the questions are : 
" will the parliament after these elections meet the demands of the revolution ? "
Answer : NO.
" Is it worth the effort ? "
Answer : NO.

People all around Egypt will go for elections despite what happened this week because most of the SCAF antagonists see that elections will meet people's demand which is "Down with the SCAF" by bringing a civilian government to achieve the rest of the revolutionary demands.
All the forces calling for going for elections and not to boycott  are very aware of the over constitutional articles "El-selmy Document" SCAF will use to control writing the Constitution and to be the ruler from behind the scenes, and this is the perfect hypocrisy, and they know that the elections won't be able to restore the rights.

All the Bourgeois forces are ready for elections whether the Islamist forces "Ikhwan - Salaf" or the secular forces, and these forces will not be able to reflect the demands of the streets, and obviously they are the voices who are calling for elections.


The problem here that the boycotting doesn't give us a clear alternative for the elections, and till now we have no Revolutionary party can lead this huge campaign.


The only solution i can see now is we have to go for it -elections- despite i prefer boycotting but if we did boycott we will be alone far away from the people in the streets who we have to stick to, and we have to rethink and make the most of the elections by surveillance and making sure that no fraud will happen.

Let's continue our revolution.

Thinking about situation of #Tahrir - Just saying !

Tweet

Without Parties, without Ikhwan the revolution will make it in the square ولا احزاب ولا اخوان الثورة هتنجح في الميدان

From day one since the whole thing started there are some observations I couldn't let it go !
Sometimes I feel like we all dragged to this or the stage before it but things became out of control from the SCAF's side!

Do you remember sunday the 20th of November ? When the Army forces broke into tahrir square ? They took over the square easily ! It was a piece of cake for them but why they left it after less than 15 minutes !

Mansour El-Esawy Minister of MOI before his official resignation said that he's not in chief anymore 2 days before the resignation and an Army officer is running the whole operation and it was obvious to many of us through their determination not to draw backwards, that means that the forces on the ground were Army but dressed like police!

The situation and decision of the Muslim Brotherhood about these clashes is Very questionable ! ,No One really knows what is the thing being processed behind the closed doors !,
All of us know that Muslim Brotherhood is dying for the elections because this time is their golden chance and will never come again.

Today the 25th of November 2011 :-

It's two days after clashes are over now but there are many developments on the scene now.
SCAF has officially announced Dr.Kamal El-Ganzory as the new prime minister despite the rejection of the revolutionary forces,
many of them refused El-Ganzory because he's a symbol of Mubarak's regime who literally sold the national sector and planted Gamal Mubarak in the Central bank of Egypt.

Others refused him because as any other revolution the revolution have to rule the country and to be the only voice who choose it's destiny, which won't happen under supervision of the SCAF, so people in tahrir square want to choose their destiny by their own hands, It's a revolution.
We want a government or a presidential council to speak with our tongue.
People don't see the SCAF as the Ruler anymore.

The square has agreed that Baradie would be the PM. and  4 VPMs: Abo El-Fotoh, El-Nagar, El-Baroody & Sabahy
Now this is a great win for me because for the first time since the first spark in 25jan Our revolution  had no leader, but now we have a leading council whatever their names or the entity of the council, the most important is it's formed from the square.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and SCAF's stupidity !

Regime still stupid :- they let some people protest in solidarity with them but they changed places, that's it.

People's demand is clear :- Down with the SCAF .

Advices about street wars from Egypt

click the photo to check the whole set of photos.

During any peaceful protest around the world now, it's not really that safe to join because as we all know that All Cops Are Bastards, All state televisions around the world are a big fatty liars and All governments are traitors, So if the protest or the March ended peacefully thank your God if you have one.

Most of time Things turns nasty SO ! follow these little steps.

So now you have to listen to the voice of reason, i will tell you exactly what you have to do.

1.Focus on the reason why you are leaving home and hitting the streets :
 It's not preferable to do many things at the same time except you are an Egyptian in order to keep your ass safe and reach the goal of your mission,
 If you going to take photos so focus on you camera and the photography equipment only like extra memory cards, extra batteries, etc .. if you want videos so it's preferable to use handy-cams for better zooming abilities. Make sure you upload the photos the moment you get any internet connection.
 If you are going to report the event so you have to take care of the news you are spreading because as we know now the lies get halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get it's pants on.
 If you are hitting the streets as any normal protester so enjoy your time chant, sing, hold your banner, dance .. do whatever you want to do.

2.Clothes :
 Wear any thing you will be comfortable with to facilitate your movement like jeans for an example.

3.The bag :
 You have to bring your bag with you but let's review the contents.

• extra battery for your mobile Or charger.
• any type of fruit Orange, apple, guava, .. 
• water.
• tear gas mask or face mask to protect your self from the gases.
• anything can protect your eyes like diving glasses.
• sprayer (50% anti-acidic solution + 50% pure water).
• use anti-acidic solutions which contains of {magnesium hydroxide + aluminum hydroxide + sime thicone} use this mix with water in case of tear gases usage and help others by sprinkling this mix on their eyes and inside the mouth.
• Cotton.

4.During Clashes :

 Don't ever lose you temper, because if you did you will harm yourself and others.

 Don't ever use water to wash your face because you are a human being and humans sweat so the tear gas particles will stick to your skin and as the water touch your face the membranes will inflame so use any cola based product to wash your face, it's preferred to cover your face to avoid all these nasty symptoms. 

From Egypt with love

#19Nov #Tahrir square battle

Tweet

Yesterday police Riot forces attacked around 200 peaceful protesters in tahrir square down town Cairo, Police brutality is the same.

Using new tear gas, different types of rubber bullets, police armors and over 1000 police soldier they started to bang the the injured people of the revolution who demand to be treatment and to complete the other revolutionary demands as they were a part of the sit in in tahrir square and other normal protesters with no special political agenda -normal citizens-, arresting many activists, firing a massive amounts of tear gases and rubber bullets directly in the face, targeting eyes, necks and legs.

Around 2 pm yesterday, due to decreased numbers of protesters police forces succeeded in breaking into the square, chasing people, and arresting hundreds.

Thanks to social networks mainly twitter the news were all over the world in less than 10 minutes and all revolutionaries started gathering around tahrir square to support their brothers and sisters against the brutal police officers.


As police entered the square many protesters gained it back using rocks and they took over a police troop transportation car, and set it on fire as a symbolic objection and rejection of the brutality.


It was turned to street wars after that, battles moved from the square to the nearby streets like Mohamed Mahmoud and El-Kasr El-Einy streets.
police forces using their tear gas and many types of rubber and small iron bullets were faced by the protesters with faith using their rocks and Enthusiastic chants.


After 7 hours of street wars protesters were exhausted and messed up so the police condensed their attacks forcing protesters to draw back and empty the square to the near streets.

A group entered Talaat harb st. and the other group escaped to El-Ksr El-Einy st. then to Kasr EL-Nile bridge, to rearrange themselves as the police forces chased protesters till the bridge using the same weapons and even they tried to ran over protesters with the armors more than once on the Kornish st. near Abdel Moniem Riad square.


On field yesterday we all agreed that this brutality is the same police used back in 28th on January on the same place on the same bridge.


it was reported more than 400 injuries yesterday at 7 pm but raised to 800 by the end of the day.
injuries are between suffocation due to tear gases ,minor injuries due to the rubber bullets and many of our friends lost their eyes like the activist and blogger Malek Moustafa and El-Masry El-Youm photographer Ahmed.


protesters gained the square back as the police finished their ammunition and draw back in order to reload. 
numbers of protesters were increased again and took control of the square but it was still raining tear gases and rubber bullets. 

street wars are still going on till this moment i am writing these words.
it is more than 24 hours now.


it was reported from many sources that the are targeting activists to shot and arrest as usual.
As usual state Tv. did it's lies about what happened in the square describing protesters as thugs.
in tahrir square Only one killed with live ammunition his name is "Ahmed Mahmoud Ahmed"
Also 2 killed in Alexandria.


i will post videos soon

Why you blame Maikel Nabil ?

Tweet

Egyptian activist and blogger Maikel Nabil Sanad jailed for criticising the country's military junta has declared himself ready to die, and it would be more honourable him to die committing suicide than allowing a bunch of Nazi criminals [SCAF] to feel that they succeeded in restricting his freedom as his hunger strike enters its 80th day.

Maikel Nabil Sanad declares he would prefer suicide to being tried by military junta for criticising the army in his blog defending his freedom of speech after a great revolution he was a part of.

I don't know Maikel personally but i am following his blog, Yes as you all know all of his Views were shocking but after time all of us are sure that he was right when he criticized the military junta.

The 26-year-old was found guilty of "insulting the Egyptian army". The case helped spark a nationwide opposition movement to military trials for civilians, and cast further doubt on the intentions of the (Scaf), whose promises regarding Egypt's post-Mubarak transition to democracy appear increasingly hollow.

I wont talk about the ridiculous charges they charged him with, let's go deeper, let's talk about how they used Maikel to destroy Maikel !

After Maikel's detention there was a huge campaign against him and many of activists accusing them with treason and raising the people against the SCAF -who was the protector of the revolution in the people's mind and still- by using their lifestyle, personal photos, opinions etc.. against them in public by the cheap media means which is really close to the broader sector of normal people who really trust the SCAF generals.

When the freedom voices in Egypt raised and called for Maikel's freedom or even re-trialing him in front of his normal court the case attracted the world's attention and his supporters were increasing till SCAF used the dirty means to distort his image using his opinions about Israel, Exploiting the historic dispute between the two nations, this is the way they used Maikel against Maikel's case and by all means i consider this is a violation of human rights as the freedom of speech is a basic human right.!!

Maikel isn't like many other Egyptians who are afraid to express their views and still afraid and if they will continue like this they will create a new dictator easily Or we can say that they already did.

I have no logical explanation for the people who reject the principle of " The only red line is the PEOPLE, power to the people " may be living in a dictatorship for so long did that ! and make them lose their faith with themselves ? .. i wont debate in that furthermore.

When i talk to normal people about Maikel and his case, They always start accusing him with treason ! and i don't blame them for that .. i blame the traitor regime and i will tell why .. 
During 30 years Mubarak didn't say a single work or a statement against Israel .. why ?
Why they taught us to hate Israel despite all the regime is supporting Israel ? .. even more , If anyone remember when any terror attacks attack Egypt The regime always after months of fake investigations come out with the same conclusion with slight differences in names but the link between all names was " the Palestinian organization named ... " >> so why should i love them ? hey think freely away from the Arabic, Islamic and the military  ideologies
I remember every time our media discussed the Israeli society they showed that it's the best democratic state in the region .. so why you blame Maikel when he said the same thing ? 

Maikel was a christian or still by the ID card, and for decades the christian minority in Egypt was under the focus as a prey for the rest of the people or at least the regime wanted them like that as i explained several times in many posts, so when you read about minorities in Israel you will see how they live in peace with governmental support ! and on the other hand you know what is really happening to them here .. so don't use the same scheme Mubarak used to use during the last 30 years !

Again ! when i start talking about Maikel specifically people attack me saying that he doesn't believe in GOD ! .. i know that our society will take a very long time to be able to accept ideas like these .. another thing that the society here in Egypt likes the Religious views but the true believers who really apply the spiritual side of the religion [Islam or Christianity] are very FEW ! this fact may be shocking for some people but still a fact, because simply the true core of both Religions deal with the human as a human whatever his religion even they ordered the Believers to treat the atheists and the other religion believers Good ! ..
Back to the Israeli thing .. i will not blame Maikel because he love Israel ! i will blame the Regime who showed that the hell in Israel is much much much better than heaven in Egypt !

Our generation >> before the revolution it was normal and very normal to hear someone saying that he's dying to leave Egypt ! .. it's was obvious that they were trying to enforce us to hate this country , few of us did hate it and left , but the majority stayed ! and Maikel was one of them.
You don't need me to remind you that Maikel Nabil Sanad was the First one who Said " NO " to the fascist SCAF generals !

A Question for those who blame Maikel, Why you didn't open your mouth about the Egyptians who work, study and live in Israel ?, and even married from Israelis ? Didn't they supported Israel by " ACTION " not by a blog writing and some interviews as Maikel did ?
