Brain Katulis, a security expert at the Centre for American Progress, a Washington think-tank, is absolutely right it is “disparity of power” between the all powerful ruling elite and the people that makes the demonstrators’ demand for Mubarak’s resignation none negotiable. Mubarak is the very embodiment of this all powerful ruling elite who have ruled Egypt with an iron fist. The tyrant and his parrot Vice President, Ministers, etc. never tire of telling the whole world that Mubarak must stay because “he is the only one” who will stop Egypt sliding into chaos! The ONLY ONE!?
What the people of Egypt want is a new Egypt in which there is peace, freedom human dignity for all and economic prosperity. The task before them now is formulating a new political order that will be able to deliver that. What Mubarak and his gangs of thugs want is ensure their own selfish interests are considered even though these interests run against the grain of the democratic values the nation is seeking!
For Egypt to stand a chance of emerging out of this a free and democratic country; Mubarak MUST go and do so NOW. Mubarak is a dictator used to dictating all manner of demands to a cowed nation. The very fact that there have been hundreds of thousands of Egyptians demanding an end to his autocratic rule has greatly shaken the dictator. In his arrogant way he believes the concessions he has made already – that he will not stand for re-election in September and he has reshuffled twice the faces of those honoured to rule Egypt as his henchmen – is more than enough. He should now be allowed to do what he knows best; continue to dictate what happens in Egypt. A truly free and democratic nation coming out of the dictate of a ruthless and autocratic tyrant; that would be first!
