By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
Egyptians have they gain anything?, accept new puppets
to exploit them, tyrannical system continues, the only
way to truly liberate Egypt is by implementing
Shari'ah, everything else is trash, replacing one
trash with another is still constitute has trash, so
stop duping yourselves Egyptians, if you are going to
give up the most precious thing you have "your life"
make sure it is for something noble.....
..First, what is a revolution? Sometimes I'm inclined
to believe that many of our people are using this word
"revolution" loosely, without taking careful
consideration [of] what this word actually means, and
what its historic characteristics are. When you study
the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a
revolution, the objective of a revolution, and the
result of a revolution, and the methods used in a
revolution, you may change words. You may devise
another program. You may change your goal and you may
change your mind. 'A revolution is bloody. Revolution
is hostile. Revolution knows no compromise. Revolution
overturns and destroys everything that gets in its
way.' (Malcolm X).
Who are America's new puppets in Egypt Hosni Mubarak
has resigned as Egypt's president and transferred his
powers to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
General Omar Suleiman, vice-president and former
intelligence chief, is among the key retired or
serving military officers on the council. Others
include Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, defence
minister; Lt Gen Sami Anan, chief of staff of the
Egyptian army; Air Marshal Ahmed Shafiq, the new prime
minister.
Under the Bush administration, in the context of "the
global war on terror", US renditions became
"extraordinary", meaning the objective of kidnapping
and extra-legal transfer was no longer to bring a
suspect to trial – but rather for interrogation to
seek actionable intelligence. The extraordinary
rendition program landed some people in CIA black
sites – and others were turned over for
torture-by-proxy to other regimes. Egypt figured large
as a torture destination of choice, as did
[newly-appointed Vice President, Omar] Suleiman as
Egypt's torturer-in-chief. At least one person
extraordinarily rendered by the CIA to Egypt —
Egyptian-born Australian citizen Mamdouh Habib — was
reportedly tortured by Suleiman himself. In October
2001, Habib was seized from a bus by Pakistani
security forces. While detained in Pakistan, at the
behest of American agents, he was suspended from a
hook and electrocuted repeatedly. He was then turned
over to the CIA, and in the process of transporting
him to Egypt he endured the usual treatment: his
clothes were cut off, a suppository was stuffed in his
anus, he was put into a diaper – and ‘wrapped up like
a spring roll'. In Egypt, as Habib recounts in his
memoir, My Story: The Tale of a Terrorist Who Wasn't,
he was repeatedly subjected to electric shocks,
immersed in water up to his nostrils and beaten. His
fingers were broken and he was hung from metal hooks.
At one point, his interrogator slapped him so hard
that his blindfold was dislodged, revealing the
identity of his tormentor: Suleiman. Suleiman's
history should be kept in mind when considering
statements he made yesterday. In a thinly veiled
threat, he warned that if the protests do not end
soon, there will be a coup and "dark bats of the
night" will emerge "to terrorize the people."
Egyptians appetite for freedom not quench yet has they
vow to continue protests One day after the ouster of
President Hosni Mubarak, thousands of protesters have
vowed to stay in Cairo's Liberation Square until their
demands are met. Activists have demanded the release
of political prisoners, the lifting of a 30-year-old
state of emergency and the disbandment of military
court. They say demonstrations will continue until the
army accepts the reforms. Political groups are also
calling for the formation of a government led by
civilians. The Muslim Brotherhood says the military
should hand over power to a civilian-led government. A
senior Muslim Brotherhood official, Rashad Bayoumi,
said a civilian government must run the country until
free and fair elections are held. He also called for a
constitution that guarantees freedom and human rights.
Meanwhile, the April 6th Youth movement also called
for the formation of a civilian-led presidential
council to run the country during the transition
period. Experts say the Egyptian revolution may fail
to bring about reforms unless the military
establishment is taken over by a civilian-led
government.
"We have succeeded in a very important step which is
getting rid of [President Hosni] Mubarak. But Mubarak
for the past five years has not been governing this
country. He's been sitting in Sharm el-Sheikh where he
is now," Zulficar, a political analyst, told reporters
on Friday.
Zulficar added that Mubarak "hardly ever comes to
Cairo. It (Egypt) has been run by Vice President
General Omar Suleiman who was vice president until a
couple of hours ago, may still be. It was run, from
security point of view and from a foreign policy point
of view by Omar Suleiman. He is a close friend of the
Israelis and of the Americans. Nothing has changed."
He further said that the Egyptian revolution "is only
the very beginning of a long process. We must be sure
that we have civilian rule and not military rule. We
must be sure that the remnants of this regime that are
still in positions of power do not remain in these
positions."
