This movement is by the Egyptian youth… ordinary people. No party and no organization or a leader has the credit in it… Muslim brotherhood did not start and are not the leaders for this
movement contrary to the info being spread. Also Al-Kaeda are not involved in any people movement in Egypt
There is an extreme solidarity between Muslims and Christians in the streets… this is an EGYPTIAN movement no matter what your religion is
Our question now is not who comes next as a president…. Our mission now is to get rid of the corrupted government and president
Demonstrations were non violent, in intent the official shout was ‘selmiya’ meaning peaceful. However the vandalism is done by the police forces , then accused the demonstrations of it in order to legitimate the tightening of the control.

This is how Mubarak used the $2 billion financial aid from the US - Against his own people
$1.3 billion for military equipment and the rest for economic assistance

The government’s reaction• Mubarak dismissed the cabinet & assigned a deputy president both
actions not satisfactory to Egyptians
• Prime minster “Omar Sullaiman” is not accepted by Egyptians, and is an extension of the military ruling party.
• The rest of the “new” chosen government are basically the same old cabinet switching roles.
• Mubrak just can’t get it, we want HIM and ALL his government OUT
