Egypt In Turmoil, a rare outburst against ‘military rule’ caught on camera ============================= Activists are hoping the clip of a woman in Tahrir Square demanding justice will encourage others to do the same An Egyptian woman reacts after a court confirmed death sentences for 183 Egyptians 21/6/2014 The dismissal of murder charges against former President Hosni Mubarak on Sunday was met with a mixture of emotions in Egypt, with displays of despair, indifference, emotional numbness as well as dark humour. Aside from scattered protests in Cairo, the response to Mubarak walking free was muted, with few signs of a public outcry. But a video of a woman in Tahrir Square on Sunday breaking into a fit of anger at Mubarak’s acquittal and the return of military rule has caused a storm. In the clip, broadcast on Egyptian channel Masralarabia and later shared on social media, a middle-aged woman in sunglasses and a blue headscarf begins to shout loudly at bystanders and passing traffic. “Hosni Mubarak cleared and dismissed! she shouts. Down with military rule! Down with Sisi’s rule!” she says referring to Egyptian president, Abdel-Fatah Al-Sisi, . As a crowd gathers around her the woman seems to make reference to a son of hers killed during the revolution shouting: “Has my son’s blood been spilled in vain? Where is justice for the blood of the youth? Tell me where?” Most of the onlookers remain silent. When one asks her for her name she responds: “I don’t have a name. I am an Egyptian citizen.” Civil disobedience has become increasingly dangerous in Egypt since the military ousted President Mohamed Morsi last year and installed a government that banned his Muslim Brotherhood organisation and launched a widespread crackdown on political dissidents. Last month French writer Alan Greish and two Egyptian journalists were arrested after a woman overhead them discussing politics in a café in downtown Cairo and reported them to the police. Activists are hoping the womans outburst in Tahrir will galvanize others to protest against Sisis government. Mubaraks acquittal signals that the 2011 revolution failed to produce the desired change, however it does not signal the end of the frustration that lead to it, represented by this lady, said Islam Abdel-Rahman, a member of the Muslim Brotherhoods Freedom and Justice Party in Egypt. How and when this frustration bursts again is the question that both the regime and its opponents are figuring out. ========================== https://youtube/watch?v=ZdLV8WdPfxs#t=30 ========================== Read more at the source of the article ========================== middleeasteye.net/news/egypt-woman-s-rare-outburst-against-military-rule-caught-camera-1372763064#sthash.VNQUTudO.L3dQhQ6H.dpuf =========================== #يسقط_حكم_العسكر #ارحل_ياعرص #مرسي_رئيسي حتى لو #انتخبوا_العرص #عسكر_كاذبون #آيات_عرابي #مرسي_رئيسي #انتخبوا_العرص #مش_احسن_مانبقى_زى_سوريا_والعراق #الفريق_الاعلامى #الايام_الحاسمه #وقالت_الصناديق_للسيسي_مفيش #هل_صليت_على_النبي_اليوم #اشتون_قاتله #مرسى_رئيسى حتىى لو #انتخبوا_العرص #هنعدم_السيسي #ارحل_ياعرص #يسقط_حكم_العرص #يسقط_حكم_العسكر #رابعة #مكملين #الانقلاب_العسكري #مصر #military_coup #Egypt #مرسي #السيسي_الممحون #ميحكمش #شعب_السيسي #كلنا_اخوان #انصاف_الاخوان #تحيا_مصر_بدون_العرص #العرص_يغردرح #العب_غيرها_يا_غبي #سيسي_نحس #احنا_متراقبين #رابعة_الثورة_والثأر #فالكون_طلعت_سوسن #رابعة_رمز_الصمود #الجيش_خربها #الجربوع_سرق_المشروع #ضنك #السيسي_خربها #انتخبوا_العرص #العسكر_يحكم #المشيرة #ارحل_ياعرص #مصر_لها_رئيس #مرسي_رئيسي #يسقط_حكم_العسكر #مصر_تحت_الاحتلال #حرامية_المشاريع #هنخلع_العرص #إبداع_الاحتجاج #عين_العقل #الانقلاب #مكملين #مصر_الليلة #العرص_ميتر #عسكر_فاشلون #العرص_ابن_سعاد #الطشت_ابن_سعاد #قانون_التظاهر #انتفاضة_الازهر #رجعوا_التلامذة #الموجة_الخضراء #انتخبوا_العرص ====================
