The decision by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to create a commission to reform some laws and the''road map''presented by Vice President Omar Suleiman to ensure the transition has not placated the popular anger. In one of the most massive since the beginning of the revolt, hundreds of thousands of people in Tahrir Square in Cairo returned to pray, dream and cry out against Mubarak, demanding the resignation of the immediate scene was repeated in the streets City of Alexandria.
Maher Ahmed, leader of the''Group''April 6, the youth opposition movement, said that''people in Tahrir include students and workers who are feeding their families, so to lose a lot every day'' demonstrations.''But we have no choice but to continue the revolt. We can not retreat. Mubarak tries to buy time but will not let them,''he added, referring to the approval of a commission to study constitutional reform and investigate the violence of recent days.
Vice President Suleiman, meanwhile, has asked the protesters to go home because''the president has welcomed the national consensus, confirming that we are taking the right path to overcome the current crisis.'' In addition to adopting the commission to reform the constitution, Mubarak ordered Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik forming another committee to oversee the implementation of agreements between the government and the opposition, announced Sunday after the first meeting in Cairo.
Suleiman, the new strongman in Egypt and the leader who must negotiate with the opposition ahead''already have in place a clear roadmap to a fixed timetable to meet, organized a peaceful transfer of power.'' His words fell on deaf ears in Tahrir, which is filled daily. Mobilization not only decreases but at times it multiplies, but these days in a climate of general calm.
Mubarak can do the politicians who want to juggle, but judging by the eyes of the demonstrators and their slogans, but its up the can satisfy. Away from the excitement of the hundreds of thousands of demonstrators in Tahrir and Alexandria, we find a group of youths taking a relaxing coffee in the exclusive Zamalek Cairo.
Although there are proponents and opponents of Mubarak, the discussion is calm and refined taste like liquid. ''We are against Mubarak but we do not have to cause chaos,''said Amal, a young man smoking a pipe usually water mid-afternoon on the banks of the Nile''Mubarak said to be. We must allow a peaceful transition,''he said.
At the next table, Jabal intervenes and speaks to us:''No way, whether Mubarak will not now, never will handover. Must go.'' Both groups fear the terrible impact on the economy and the bad image that his country exported around the world. They believe that so many Egyptians are furious''with''foreign media present in the streets of Cairo.
From the coffee shops of Zamalek, the revolt seems sweeter and less dramatic than in the hard Tahrir Square.
