Hosni Mubarak is not AbidinBen Zine El-Ali. The Egyptian rai is a proud man. Its legitimacy is much higher than that of the former Tunisian president and it is hard to imagine Mr. Mubarak to flee to Saudi Arabia. The President has probably touched many of his countrymen by providing at the beginning of the week, he intended to die in Egypt.
It is likely that he still enjoys a certain popularity. Yet he must leave office. He must withdraw, and the sooner the better. The "Egyptian revolution" will enter its third week. Mubarak blocking any prospect of political change. Holding of the presidency led to the impasse, even more violence.
Because it retains perhaps more support than we imagine, Mubarak embodies, quite rightly, whatever its regime of intolerable in the eyes of a growing number of Egyptians : a brutal autocracy, a closed political system, capitalism, buddy. The Egyptians told him yet, Friday, February 4, incisive but not so violent.
They were hundreds of thousands, from all segments of the population, down Tahrir Square ("liberation"), Cairo, demanding the departure of the rais. It was an act of courage in the wake of two days, Wednesday and Thursday, when the regime, mobilizing its thugs, dropping her little "strikes" paid to kill and maim, showed his most disgusting.
Obviously, organizing events-cons, the regime wanted to create chaos and a climate of violence likely to return a portion of the population. He sought to exploit the theme of "conspiracy from abroad" to explain events. He has appointed the international press to the condemnation of "baltaguis" in his service - something as pathetic as contemptible and unexpected in a country that has rarely succumbed to xenophobia.
The United States and the European Union reiterated Friday in their way, very diplomatic, it was necessary that Mubarak take his distance. Now, immediately, so that "transitionpolitique", the most orderly as possible, will take shape. Only the departure of Mr Mubarak - for his palace in Alexandria, for example - this will mark a break with a regime condemned.
It is a matter of symbol, but these signals then, the Egyptians are hungry - to be convinced that things will change. The scenario suggested by the United States seems a prudent starting point. Under the leadership of Vice-President, Omar Suleiman, an interim government would be appointed, comprising all the opposition, the Muslim Brotherhood to the more secular left.
It would implement the constitutional reforms necessary for the holding of free elections within six months. The rais should facilitate this transition. In the twilight of his life, he should embody the wisdom of a very old people and go look at his option, the Mediterranean or the desert.
