The Demands

This is a movement of the Egyptian youth… ordinary people. No party and no organization or a leader has the credit in it… Muslim brothers and Kaeada (they are not part of people

movements in Egypt) are not the leaders for this movement contrary to the info being spread.

There is 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 & movement is ‘selmiya’ meaning peaceful. However the vandalism is done by the police forces and hooligans, then accused the demonstrations of it in order to legitimate the tightening of the control.
