So proud of the Egyptian people once again!
Their continued protests have succeeded in the resignation of the puppet Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik. But....
My pride does not end there.
After he resigned, the Interior Minister and all the thugs and criminals working there were scared because the new Prime Minister was chosen by the military at the behest of the protesters - he's clean and he's not associated with the regime. He its a college professor. He was once a cabinet member for a couple of years, but resigned a few years ago and publicly decried the administration for having no momentum and political will for reform or change.
Once the Interior Minister saw this new hire, they got scared for their own behinds and all over Egypt began their cover-up operations. The people noticed first apparently in Alexandria when they saw men carrying tens of trash bags out of the office when they protesters self-cordoned the area and forcibly took the bags and found that they were shredded documents. They rushed the building and found people shredding documents, people tearing hard drives out of computers, even document burning was going on. In basements they found political prisoners...and they immediately sent the call out to all Egyptians to do the same.
In every governate of Egypt, the people, to whom Egypt now belongs, entered buildings and stopped similar operations. The pictures are flooding facebook and twitter still as I type. They found weapons of untold amounts. Every desk and corner seemed to have weapons and many were torturous looking medieval weapons.
They found documents that linked the government to many heinous acts including that the New Year's church bombing in Alexandria (that was touted by the regime as being carried out by Iraqi terrorists) was actually planned and carried out BY THE INTERIOR MINISTRY OF EGYPT!!!!
They found detailed plans of the horses and camel running (that they carried out in seemingly desperate measure in Tahrir) was actually planned for when Gamal Mubarak would take over the Presidency to try and show that the "local people" were in support of him - apparently they already knew they may be protests on that day and that was the plan! What a joke!
They found information about the US and Egypt extraordinary rendition torture programs - which immediately prompted US officials to fly to Egypt - Ha! The US will NOT come out of the Egyptian Revolution clean-handed either. No wonder there was such an early interest in "maintaining the stable regime". I am more proud of the Egyptian people and less proud of my own government every day that the events in Egypt continue to unfold.
Now the Interior Minister is on trial already! The prosecutor has placed a travel ban on Mubarak while they investigate his enormous and untold wealth - all stolen from the Egyptian people. The Egyptian people will have their say and the men who have kept them under their boot heels for so many years will have their day or reckoning as well!
Yalla Masr!
Mabrook Masryun!
You make me more proud every day. They have adapted to taking personal responsibility for their government and their country in amazing and astounding speed. They already seem to intimately understand the concept that if the government will change, and the future will be something to look forward to - that will require their active engagement and they are prepared and ready to give it at EVERY turn!
Long Live the mother of all nations.
Welcome to the family of democratic nations.....
and take some advice from an American....
Don't let us tell you how to democratic - the only part of democracy the US has managed to be flawless at is screwing it up every chance we get!
