On January 28, 2011, the government of now-ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak used massive violence against protesters, who had taken the Qasr el-Nil bridge and Tahrir Square as day four of the 18 days of revolution began in earnest. It was on that day that scores of Egyptians were killed and injured in what was one of the most brutal days leading to the end of the Mubarak era. On Monday, as Egypt awakes to the smell of tear gas across downtown Cairo, police and protesters are continuing to fight along that same bridge as violence has overtaken the country in the past four days.
Egypte actus's insight:
The violence has left over 45 people dead across the country and over 1,000 injured as President Mohamed Morsi issued a state of emergency in all Suez Canal cities, including Port Said, Ismaileya and Suez after intense clashes have taken place in all three cities, resulting in the death of dozens of people. January 28 is expected to be another day of battles as Egyptians appear to be refusing to relent on their demands for change. With Muslim Brotherhood Morsi refusing to acquiesce, the country is bracing for days more of violence. In honor of January 28, 2011, which was dubbed “Friday of Rage” Egyptian activists have issued a statement that includes their demands. The revolutionary powers said that the Egyptian people now know without doubt that they are ruled by a new gang; the Muslim Brotherhood group that seeks power over the entire country and uses all possible methods to break up the opposition, including murder. They accused the current regime of not learning the lesson of Hosni Mubarak’s toppled regime, as they still use his methods in adopting violence against the protesters. They added that the rebels continue to offer sacrifices to acquire freedom, more of them fall to martyrdom either through the Brotherhood’s militants or the state force. The revolutionary forces emphasized their demands in the following points: 1. Attaining retribution for Egypt’s martyrs since January 25 and until now through prosecuting the real criminals according to the law of transitional justice. 2. Announcing a clear plan to cleanse the interior ministry and reshuffling the security forces through drawing up a new policy for their role in protecting civilians, not killing them. 3. Forming a national unity government that promptly starts working on a time-lined economic plan to deal with the collapsing economy and achieve social justice. 4. Suspending the constitution that was written by an invalid assembly and was imposed on the people according to a referendum of questionable integrity, until another constitution with national and popular consensus is drafted through a new elected assembly. 5. Dissolving the Muslim Brotherhood group that intrudes in running the country without any legal status. (Joseph Mayton/Bikya Masr) Delete the scoop?
