After many days of waiting, the Egyptians have finally something to celebrate. The thirty-year rule of President Hosni Mubarak over. Egyptian generals, who have taken over, have dissolved the Parliament, have suspended the Constitution and have pledged to hold elections and relinquish power, passes much of the demonstrators who helped oust President Hosni Mubarak were necessary to remove rotten form of government.
In another promising sign, military commanders have stressed the need to review quickly the Egyptian Constitution, designed to stifle political opposition to Mubarak, and have appointed Tareq al Bishri, retired judge, to head a committee that will indicate the constitutional reforms concerned.
Al Bishri was a strong advocate of an independent judiciary under President Mubarak and respected in legal circles for his views without affiliation. In addition, military leaders have shown wisdom and ductility reaching out to young leaders of the revolution in favor of democracy. Have begun exploratory talks between both sides, important sign that the generals we sincerely address the political agreement with the new leaders of the politically conscious young Egyptians.
Although the opposition and protesters have welcomed the statements of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces under the command of Field Marshal Mohamed Tantaui have legitimately demanded the release of political prisoners, lifting of emergency rule, the abolition of the courts military, fair elections and the rapid transfer of power to a civilian government.
Egyptian generals have said that ultimately lift the emergency law, used to quell the discrepancies under Mubarak said, without specifying a timetable. Have also refused to release political prisoners. For now, the generals, especially Tantaui, a close ally of Mubarak, maintain full control of the situation, as well as senior ministers and business establishment circles parasite Mubarak regime's ally, whose interests own both weigh in Cairo.
Not surprisingly, therefore, that many Egyptians are worried that the old guard to hijack the revolution. Lurks a real danger that the change can be aborted by the old marriage between corporate network and the parasitic power elite and the security apparatus. The Egyptians should keep their eyes fixed on the great goal: the march of Mubarak, however strong earthquake has been like, in no way was the ultimate goal of this revolt.
The real goal is the elimination of a second-rate dictator only to replace it with an equally repressive. The real goal is something much more basic and fundamental: the removal of a corrupt power structure and parasite and its replacement by a transparent and open government and the rule of law.
This clear and simple terms, the goal is to replace the authoritarian power structure and closed by a society that is open. This is a historic opportunity to transform Egypt into a full democracy. However, it must be borne in mind that now is the time, not tomorrow. This is the time, and, indeed, a very short time.
Failure to take this opportunity, failure will involve crucial and decisive consequences. How to manage the transition will determine the political and economic structure of post-Mubarak Egypt. Although the internal negotiations will be crucial, the U.S. role is also important, given the scope of economic aid to the Egyptian army and frequent contacts from the outbreak of the revolution on 25 January.
In the Philippines, Indonesia, Eastern Europe, wherever it has achieved a lasting change, it is because the voices for democracy have raised their voices in unison. And if this does not happen immediately in the present case, there lurks the danger of Egypt back to the beaten path. It is urgent to agree on a specific roadmap for transformation and democratic consolidation.
Consequently, the essential question is: how to call on the millions of Egyptians who just collect and show political awareness? Show no specific political affiliation, but are determined to be heard. Unless you are organized, a task that requires time, effort and resources (all scarce factors), his voice will fade.
They immediately raise the basic and essential issues concerning the future of their country. Who is responsible for the creation of new institutions open and transparent? Will they be able military commanders may sacrifice their economic interests for the sake of more pluralistic and democratic values, will fight to the end to maintain the status quo under different disguises? Are matters of concern.
However, despite all dangers, no one should underestimate the potentiality of the moment and its possibilities. Mubarak output marks the beginning of the fall of authoritarian wall in the Arab world. Mubarak was the public face of political authoritarianism in the region formed one of the most feared security forces in the world, with almost a million and a half members.
Its output shows the power of people. Removes the barrier of fear in the region. Developments since January 25 have created a sense of strength and energy that has reached the Arab societies at all levels. From Algeria to Iran, a non-Arab country, the ripple effect of the Egyptian revolution is shaking OrienteMedio dictatorships to the ground.
In Egypt, the victory was sudden and so far only the night before. The old guard has struggled to find ways to keep Mubarak in power. The U.S. military and, perhaps, have represented the impact factor on this issue. The declaration of the armed forces after challenging Mubarak's last speech made it clear they were telling the dictator: "This no longer works." Even so, they have fought tooth and nail to maintain the current system reforms and the structure within which reached as high a position.
Such efforts indicate how far from reality are, how they are trapped in the fictional and confusion. Until the very last moment, I do not think that Mubarak had no intention of yielding, he and Omar Suleiman, is simply not understood the seriousness of this crisis. Instead, they discussed cancer as just a headache.
However, some vestiges of the disease remain anchored in the power structures that have been left behind. Egypt will not be truly healed until all of the old regime is gone. _____________ Translation: José María Puig de la Casa
