Torture prisons and the business of oppression - Egyptians reckon with the past from

Egyptian activists are trying all the evidence about the atrocities of the Egyptian regime to lay hands are

By Daniel Roters

It's Friday, the 4th March. On the Tahrir Square celebrated the pro-democracy movement, "their" new Prime Minister Essam Sharaf, who was responsible for moving an acceptable proposal, since he had himself repeatedly criticized corruption and disastrous educational system in Egypt. From mid 2004 to late 2005, he was transport minister in the Cabinet Nazif. After a train accident daramtischen with many dead and injured came back Sharaf, because it the country lacked the resources and vision to find innovative solutions to transport issues.

Over a month after Mubarak conceded the field, about 2,000 pro-democracy demonstrators looked on 6 March again ausgetzt attacks of 200 clubs. The men are to be police officers, was in civilian clothes, some armed with knives, swords and homemade bombs. This was apparently a desperate attempt to prevent the evidence by the protesters. In recent weeks, chief editors of state newspapers and working in ministries in the destruction of files of material were observed. For each action it was the activists, staff of the chief editor of the newspaper Al-Ahram, Osama Saraya to ask. Also featured in Alexandria citizens the hated state security in the destruction of documents . For days, was visible to the demonstrators on Tahrir Square, which tried the remnants of the regime. The smoke of the largest office building on Tahrir Square (El Mogamma) is testimony that the bureaucrats burn evidence of crimes on their own people. The activists continue to try to secure incriminating evidence and to put online, such as on the Facebook page Amn Dawla leaks.

In recent days, activists managed to storm offices of the Ministry of Interior and State Security, and numerous Documents to ensure that the prosecution should be transferred. During the conquest of buildings in 6th October City near Cairo, she met with secret prisons, where the state security has interrogated and tortured Egyptians. In a headquarters in Nasr City, the activists met intercepts of telephone calls between professors, political activists and opposition politicians . The seized documents have some dirty connection between the business world and connect to the regime of Mubarak-era days. A found object that the ARD exists proves that the Munich-based company of the State Security GAMMA an offer listening devices presented. This technique allows the interception and analysis of all Internet communications. It should also be possible to infiltrate laptops so that its cameras and microphones can spy on all areas. It remains to be seen whether the Munich public prosecutor for violating § 202c against those responsible for GAMMA is going on.

following video shows how Egyptian activists besieged building of the Security and enter a secret prison. Note the walls, which were soundproofed. Also shown are embassies of the detainees, sometimes the symbol of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. It is believed that many of these prisons There. Hard to imagine how many screams they left did not leave, how many people here, the will was broken ...

Morocco: In the (Arab) Western Front?

From Swantje Boulouh-Bartschat, MA

Even two weeks after the first major protest in Morocco, there are few reports of the events in the country - and if so, they could hardly be more different.

After initial three-to five-figure information on the number of participants in the protests of 20 February is now a six-digit level in the interview. Far fewer people however, should have gone last weekend (from February 25 to 27) on the streets. While the international press - if any - of peaceful protests, the question is, where the police keep in the background, eyewitnesses and re video recordings on the Internet of the suppression of some protests by police intervention. Whether public or not restrained - the police behind their king and is targeted against the coordinators of the protests. This talk of defamation, including social networks, and the seizure of their computers. The Oussama Elkhlifi however, does not shrink. After the withdrawal of the two other founders, he is the sole Initiator of the group, to the protests of 20 had called in February via Facebook .

In a seven and a half-minute recording, entitled Who is Osama Elkhlifi ? expressed the 23-year-old at the start of the protest movement and the reactions of the police. Despite libel, in which it is shown, for example, an infidel and the threats of the police to him by his father - his sign Police Officer - looks were transmitted Elkhlifi no turning back. Despite a job offer for him and promotion prospects for his father Elkhlifi calls as well as numerous other protesters remain a Restriction of royal power, the improvement of social inequality and the implementation of press freedom. That the latter is still highly restricted, can be guessed, even in these days of the reports in the Moroccan press. It is already almost strongly emphasized, the king demanded to reformations, and the reports of peaceful demonstrations do not really about the images of angry demonstrators - surrounded by police with batons - fit.

One fact, however, can make it very clear: the protests of 20 February, it brought all the speeches: politicians of various parties in Morocco, many citizens of the country, which Report including in open letters and via YouTube videos speak or directly to Mohammed VI. , Business, and the king himself too highly the Arab music scene these days is not dumb. While in Tunisia, a song by the young rapper "El General" Hamada Ben Amor against the ousted despot Ben Ali was elected as a protest song, the Moroccan Najat Aatabou sings but also protest movement - but in the sense of Mohammed VI:

Long live. King / his hand in our hands / (Allah Allah) / we love him and he loves us :



addition accumulate on platforms such as Youtube and Facebook confessions loyalty to the king and critical voices against the protests. And one hears among the demonstrators in the streets once more, it is striking that even now, including the statements "We love our king!" And "We do not want to overthrow our king!" Are not uncommon. The love of "M6" There's just no getting small so easy.

Ayyuhâ l-Malik, nuhibbukâ matâlibunâ wa-hâdhihî!
(Oh king, we love you, and these are our demands!)
Meanwhile
the opinions differ with the view to the future development in the country. While the Moroccan press is mainly the image of an active or at least discuss the government, in which politicians call for the consideration of the wishes of the people, let European voices announced the possible imminence of a coup ... or the opposite. Leo Wieland, editor of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and author of M6-called critical articles, the country is stable, despite high youth unemployment, corruption and enormous wealth of the "king of the poor", which can be read off to the less obvious possessions.
"There are (.) Does not Palaces, racing stables, golf courses, painting and sports car collection, which make up the bulk of the assets of, M6 ', but his financial interest in everything that grows in Morocco. "
It recognizes the achievements of Mohammed VI. aware of and takes security and the current exercise begun on changes in the form of subsidies for basic food and gas and the formation of a Council to reform of the 'social contract'. But Wieland also doubts that the steps of the king are sufficient. It remains to be seen not only the extent of popular devotion to the ruler of his people can actually get. After solidarity confessions the "Committee for the Liberation of Sebta and Melilla" to the movement of 20 February, the protests could - in addition to this weekend for the 20th March announced - take a new direction that would be of interest particularly for Spain, where the two cities are located in Morocco belong.
"The 'site Morocco has' already covered some good and habitable floors. But here and there, it's raining too hard through the roof "

The New Arab World Is Coming, With or Without the U.S.
(Huffington Post-Blog / Cynthia P. Schneider & Nadia Oweidat / 02.03.2011)
The Arab world is marching toward democracy, with or without the United States. To be relevant to the breakneck changes rocking the Middle East, the U.S. first needs to reexamine its foreign policy and its narcissistic definition of its security. A free and democratic Arab world aligns with America's security interests. There is still time to change the perception of the United States as a place that utters sweet words of democracy but supports dictators -- as it has throughout the lifetimes of the young Arab leaders.

In "Rogues", his 2003 volume on rogue states, Jacques Derrida looked to Plato's Republic in order to assess the Grecian syntagma of democracy as ‘democracy to come.’ Passages from the Republic referring to ‘democratic man and his freedoms’ hold special relevance; Derrida used it to examine the rise of Islamism in Algeria but I would like to focus on the relationship between clothing, democracy and Egypt’s former president Hosni Mubarak and Libya’s embattled ... al-Gaddafi. The aesthetics of Greek origin ... Largely as indistinguishable from perception and perceptible things ..., and did not come to signify beauty or adornment until the Relatively recent 18th century.
