Tuesday 1 February, a rally at the initiative of the Committee of Solidarity with the Egyptian people's struggle takes place in Paris on the occasion of the "one million march" organized in Egypt. This committee is a spontaneous movement, which are signatories to a number of associations and political parties.
Hussein Youssef El-Ganainy, journalist-producer, is a member of this organization, created on January 26. He is Egyptian and lives in France since 1998 after completing his studies there. Initially, in order to hold rallies or demonstrations in solidarity with the struggle of the Egyptian people.
It is a wink to let them know that although we are not present in the streets of Egypt with them, we hold over their claims here in France. Generally, most people I met at meetings are welded behind the claims of the Egyptian people. You should know that the reasons for the Egyptian people are currently fighting are those that have led some to leave the country: the fight against corruption, stop the torture, stop the humiliation, the change of regime, of the Constitution ...
These claims are quite general shared by the Egyptians who manifest, although some are still satisfied with this plan is falling. For now, that we organize rallies, no demonstrations. We are behind the rally on Friday [28 January] at Châtelet, and we participated in the protest Saturday outside the Embassy of Egypt without being initiated.
Since Saturday, we leave to come together every night until the end of the week to 18 hours underground crowns in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. But we are obviously mindful of the situation in Egypt, and we improvise based on its evolution: if for example we learn tonight the downfall of President Mubarak, I think there will be a great manifestation of joy at the Embassy Egypt.
We discussed a lot about it. We want them to put pressure on the regime. I want to point out that currently, many Egyptians lack access to basic resources. My own family has witnessed. I am afraid of riots, which would provide an excuse for police to organize a crackdown. Interview by Vincent Matalon
