| Soldier crying after the announcement of Mubarek's resignation |
As most of you know I've been doing research throughout Egypt over many years and have
made a lot of friends in every region of Egypt. I've been contacting many of these friends
throughout the demonstrations and they felt that Mubarek should have been able to stay until
September. They also were not allowed to voice their opinion and also pointed out that this
focus on corruption is stupid (for more on this, how corruption is a way of life here from peasant
farmer and everyone in between right up to the president--hence why its hypocritical to try to
put him on trial) and also, my visit to Tahrir (with pictures) and how everyone in my entire
building came out into the hallways and lobby and cried in SADNESS when Mubarek resigned
(as well as throughout Egypt--but the media never showed any of those people): CLICK HERE
As I mentioned in my comments after Mubarek resigned and how I called my many friends all
over Egypt in the various regions and how most spoke for 100's of others who felt the same
way, millions of Egyptians did not get to voice their feelings about being 'pro' Mubarek. Now
that there is supposedly 'democracy' here people are finally getting their voices out and four
main groups have formed and are planning a peaceful march tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 18). These
groups call this Friday march:
1) Grateful Friday (expressing honor and love for Mubarek and what he's done for Egypt and the
region;
2) I Am Sorry, Mr. President (expressing their anguish for the youth revolution making him step
down before September);
3) The Apology Friday (apologizing to him for his humiliation at being forced to step down before
Sept);
4) The Faithful Friday (those who did not want him to resign and wanted him to stay on). These
four independent groups are joining forces and marching on Friday.
Some of Egypt's most famous pop stars, actors and actresses have finally spoken out that they,
too, were "pro" Mubarek and that they are going to join this march and are encouraging others,
fans, who believe as they do about Mubarek, to join the march on Friday.
The problem now is that the youth that demonstrated in Tahrir and caused the revolution are
ticked off at this and are quickly trying to combat this 'pro' Mubarek rally by forming one of their
own as a "Martyr Day" on Friday to focus on those who died during the revolution. They are
also trying to convince the military that the pro's should not be allowed to march. But isn't this
sort of the opposite of what they demonstrated for—democracy and freedom of speech etc?
They are denying these people to express how they feel. All four groups said they are not
asking for the return of Mubarek, but that they just want to pay respect to him and let him know
how they felt through all of this and let him know he was beloved my many. They were not
allowed to voice their opinions during the demonstrations. The media never let them express
their point of view and those who tried to or who tried to go to the demonstrations were not let
in. Some were beaten (my husband was punched and shoved, so he left--he did not want
violence to erupt). This happened to many who tried to do the same, hence, why their voice was
not heard.
I will be marching tomorrow and will be taking pics. I’ll add it to my website Saturday or Sunday.
Wish us luck that the anti's don't try to stop us.
