The Egyptian revolution is not over, is the daily struggle to fulfill the objectives, and for the moment is getting the Army to accept and follow the old regime giving lots of power. So you think the filmmaker and Basel Ramsis Egyptian blogger who was in Tahrir Square, Cairo, during the days that preceded the fall of Hosni Mubarak and tomorrow will participate in a debate at the Caixa Forum in Barcelona, moderated by COUNTRY journalist Ignacio Cembrero, with Aarab Hafid, spokesman for the League of Imams of Spain Aarab Rachid, a professor of Islamic History at the University of Barcelona and Adlbi Sirin, a professor of International Mediterranean Studies of the Autonomous University of Madrid .
Ramsis traveled to Egypt as revolution broke out to participate in it and stayed until it was clear that Mubarak had left office. Not even thought about his work as a filmmaker, though, acknowledged he shot some video. The first thing given is the rejection of the stereotype that speaks of a revolution "of the young." "There was a young revolution," he says, "but a popular revolution.
Yes, indeed, the youth began, but soon they were joined by people of all ages and all social classes." The revolution, he adds, is not over, nor is it now a matter of time it takes to democracy. "What is happening now in Egypt is not a question of timing, but a battle between what remains of the old regime, supported by the army and people," he explains.
"The people are winning because every day gets more things that were in their demands even if the Army tries to stop it. This last week has been particularly successful because it was determined that the government finally fell, the last government appointed by Mubarak and his prime minister, and secondly, more importantly, has dissolved the Secret Service unit specializing in political repression, which practically was the one who ruled Egypt.
" Secret Service officials, said they went to public pressure and the people entered the building and occupied it.
