Without introduction ... I am now totally convinced that we are in a big fake drama, and we have wasted 7 months (11 Feb -11 Sept) of our lives in big fat black joke. The only reality was the 18 days (25/1-11/2), after that I feel it was just "film hendy", just like Sept. 11th where today marks its 10th memory.
Let's recall what happened from the beginning:
- On Jan 25th, they tried to get people home through water hoses, and tear gas... It didn't work.
- On Jan 26th, they tried to terrify people through media ... It didn't work.
- On Jan 27th, they cut off communication ... and it didn't work..
- On Jan 28th, they killed and injured people... and it didn't work (made people stronger)..
- On Jan 29th they appointed a VP and changed the Cabinet... it didn't matter.
- On Jan 30th they tried to terrify the people at home and streets... and it made people more determined..
- On Feb 1st they tried to play emotional, and it didn't have the enough impact.
- On Feb 2nd they tried to get us back to dark ages, and we have beaten them...
- On Feb 5th they canceled "El Tawreeth" and it didn't matter then..
- On Feb 8th they tried to compromise... and as if they have said nothing..
- On Feb 10th they tried to delegate power and give promises ... and people ignored them..
- On Feb 11th they moved power to the SCAF as a last resort ... and it worked, and people went home :(
That was the biggest strategic mistake in the history of the Revolution... I have to admit that we were wrong when we went home on Feb 11th, we should have stayed there for another week or two till Mubark men were caught, protesters killers were busted, and a clear timeline is agreed upon for the transitional period. Since then we have been paying the price of not staying there, and each single win came through a struggle with SCAF at first, and then with Islamists, and now with half of the Egyptian People!
I am afraid that Tahrir protests started to be meaningless to SCAF now, we need to think about different strategies to save this revolution that goes along with Tahrir... What I am really sure of is that at a certain level of disappointment and despair, a real 2nd wave of revolution happens, and this time it wont definitely be "Peaceful" as those who will make it will be only demanding one thing ... Taking over power in Egypt in order to be able to apply what others couldn't... and then no one knows how the struggle will look like!
Yaa Raaab ..
