Tuesday, January 25, several opposition movements called on Egyptians to show hoping to follow the example of Tunisia. These events expected in the afternoon in Cairo and the provinces are the first of its kind in Egypt since the fall of Tunisian President Zine El-Ali AbidineBen January 14. The movement's leaders, who believe that the problems of Egyptian society are similar, hope to replicate the revolution of Tunisia, and using the same methods of protest.
The idea was launched by the 'April 6 Movement "and other pro-democracy groups who call to make Tuesday a" day of revolt against torture, poverty, corruption and unemployment. " On April 6, 2008, a general strike erupted into violent rioting in the Nile Delta. This initiative coincides with the very official "Police Day", a holiday during which leaders praise to multiply the forces of order and the commitments to maintain stability.
The interior ministry said on his part that he "would stand firm against those who act illegally." The opponent Mohamed ElBaradei, a former top international official, has expressed on his Facebook page to support "the call to demonstrate against repression" and denounced "threats to use force from a regime which trembles before his people ".
Only problem, the challenge, strong on the Web has always been difficult to materialize in the streets. The movement has received support from other political parties, but in a relatively conservative. The Muslim Brotherhood, the strong mobilization capacity, and the Wafd, the first secular opposition party, have not issued a formal call to march, but indicated that their young activists could join the procession.
Several Egyptian analysts also highlighted in recent days the differences between Egypt and Tunisia, including the fact that the Egyptian regime had managed to spare margins of expression for the media and the opposition. "It's a subtle dictatorship, combining a powerful security apparatus to controlled areas of freedom that allow to evacuate popular anger," explained Le Monde last week Diaa Rachwan, researcher at Al Ahram Strategic.
On the political front, the regime is dominated for almost thirty years under President Hosni Mubarak, 82, the uncertain health. His estate is at the center of a rivalry between her deaf son Gamal, 47, close of business, and the "old guard" of power linked to the powerful military-security apparatus.
The army, which provides all the presidents since 1952, is also considered more loyal to the power that the Tunisian army was not against the deposed president. Tuesday, 20 000-30 000 policemen were mobilized in the center of the capital and district of the Ministry of Interior has been sealed off, according to security services.
A score of police trucks were stationed near the Supreme Court and of vehicles equipped with water cannon were parked along the streets. Le Monde. en with and
