nur, Albright did not and will not meet anybody from efaya, if she tried to, she would be target for eggs and rotten tomato. She met Ayman Nour, and he is not left by any means, he is right wing ( it doesnt mean of course that Moubarak has the right to put him in jail, so free Nour, dont get me wrong)

I respect Kefaya’s audicity as well, this is not the point. The point is that after all these years since 1919, passing by 1952, our cause is a standstill ‘liberative’ issue, in terms of removing a current regime and carrying out immediate superficial reforms.

More anti-Mubarak demos yesterday

Kefaya are at it again - this time at the gates of Cairo University. Hundreds of protestors, including Nasserites, Islamists and Socialists. Strangely enough, both the Reuters report and Josh over at Arabist indicate that the protest was pretty peacefu…

Thanks, Sam, for clarifying. I had noticed the nationalist and possibly ‘ultra’ expression of the Kiev crowds and those in Beirut. As Madame Albright had visited Cairo, I found it interesting that her interlocators there were exponents of the Egyptian left.

please do not connect diots between the honest people of kifaya and the neo-facists and opportunist and Bush puppets demonstrating now in Beirut. No pasaran.

I wonder if you would kindly consider reading a post over at my blog. I attempt to connect the dots between Belgrade and Cairo and would be interested in feedback.

From the BBC picture, it does not look like there were “hundreds” of protesters there.
I think the BBC is playing it up to publish a story

Reuters calls it the largest protest yet, which can’t be right. Wasn’t the other one 1,000 people?

I very much support the Kifaya movement and admire their courage in challenging a despotic and corrupt regime. My point was that this movement ought to transcend individuals and connect with the avergae man/woman on the streets!

you seem not to realize that Kifaya is a platform where many forces join in each with its political platform and analysis.
I am a Nasserist so obviously I dont mind the nasser picture being raised and I have my arguments to couner yours, I only think this is the time to show that Egyptian forces for change are capable of forming a broad alliance aginst the regime. Sectarian political viws are now misplaced, wait till egypt is a true democracy and vote for the party you like, but now you have to accept the diversity of a movement like kefaya and consider it a good thing.
If you do not like the Nasserist, or the Marxist or the Islamists being dominant in Kefaya well join them and make another voice heard. At least there you have three very different forces puting their differences aside and joining forces for change. I respect that.

This Kifaya group sure seems confused about what it wants, aside from “no to Mubarak.”

I don’t like the raising of Nasser’s pictures on this occasion. Like Mubarak and Sadat, Nasser was little more than a dictator. It just goes to show that there are so many competing and fragmented groups each with their own little dictator in Egypt. I was further dissappointed by the small turnout at the Demonstration. I feel that Egyptian people (like other Arabs) are not aware of their selfworth and don’t understand they they can acheive self-actualization through the political process. The popular saying summs it all up: “Khalina Na’kul Aysh” Let us eat bread”. What a pitty!!

If Moubarak was a decolonization hero in the 60’s who is fighting imperialism and trying to pursue a utopia of popular democracy with the naive attitude of experimental poltics of the 60’s and at the same time leading a whole movement in the third world for non-alignement repositioning many cards in the cold war. well I’d say maybe its not the moment to attack him. It is easy to take things out of perspective and call people names.

Fire Next Time! “reg’ou et-talamza ya ‘am Hamza lel gadd tani” (students back to commitment & hardwork). A very moving article indeed, Josh. But why do some reject a dictator under the sign of another dictator designated as ‘the symbol of dignity’? I do not understand the Nasserists!
