The Egyptian agora assists with excitement at the end of the nightmare. The decline of Hosni Mubarak and his family, which monopolized the country's political life for three decades, occupying the front pages of newspapers and encourages conversations in vans or buses and in cafes and tea between puffs sobos of 'shisha' ( water pipe).
The lightning trip to the underworld clan Mubarak was unimaginable in January. The Egyptians opened the year with the aftermath of parliamentary elections marked by voter fraud and allegations of vote buying. In those elections, the National Democratic Party (NDP), the formation of the former was dissolved on Saturday for justice, won 420 of the 508 seats in the People's Assembly.
Most opposition parties withdrew from the runoff to protest the farce. The legislative elections were the prelude to the presidential election to be held this year. For the election day, there was only announce who would be the new president, a president and ailing octogenarian and his son Gamal, the eternal successor.
The unusual popular revolt that broke out on Jan. 25 took 18 days to ruin the monarchical aspirations of the Mubarak family and demolish the credibility of their patriarch. The arrest on Wednesday by a period of 15 days of the father and his two sons, Alaa and Gamal, was the victory late in an unfinished revolution.
And the newspapers were quick to underline the symbolism of the measure. "The Fall of the Republic of Thieves", headlined the weekly 'Sout Al Umma' (The voice of the people, in Arabic) with a photo montage with Mubarak marriage and two children behind bars. For its part, the state newspaper Al Ahram, the speaker of the regime tried to minimize public outcry, said this week "the overwhelming sense of joy" that the arrest resulted in "all social classes, religions and strata of Egyptian society ".
With each passing day, the tragic fall of the Mubarak will reveal the inside story that rocked the family. Hosni was questioned on Tuesday for half an hour by several officials and suffered a "heart crisis" that forced him to a hospital exclusive resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in the Sinai Peninsula.
Only managed to give his name, age and occupation for the record (Sayed Mohamed Hosni Mubarak, 82 years and president of the Arab Republic of Egypt). Their offspring attending the interview and visited their father in the medical center. By then he knew that his destiny was the Tora prison outside Cairo but avoided informing the ousted leader.
Had declared for four hours in Tor, the capital of South Sinai. After passing through the hospital, the brothers were taken to the airport of Sharm el Sheikh. At 4.30 am arrived in the Egyptian capital. Handcuffed and dressed in the white suit worn by prisoners in Egypt, were transported in a police van to Tora prison.
The prison had housed during his father's regime and opposition activists. After the revolution its new tenants are former ministers and senior officials of the regime of Mubarak. Once in prison, Alaa and Gamal gave their mobile phones and personal belongings were locked in a cell. According to the independent daily Wafd, Gamal sobs interrupted her brother with an imperative: 'Shut up, boy.
" At 7 am, the newcomers came from the recreation area of the prison and reunited with other actors of the deposed regime, which in recent weeks have been calling in the center on charges of abuse of power, illegal enrichment and corruption . The group surrounded the pins of the dictator and questioned him about the health of his father.
At La Granja de Tora, one of the five buildings of the prison complex, are also former Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif, the former presidential chief of staff Zakaria Azmi, and former Parliament, Fathi Sorour, among others. Gamal and Alaa not eaten their first breakfast in jail. Meanwhile, the head of the prison, Nazih Gadallah, calmed the spirits of other prisoners to ensure that Mubarak's sons would not enjoy any special treatment.
Until Wednesday, when both were imprisoned by the gesture contrary, the two brothers had been involved in different life journeys. The stock dreamed perpetuate Gamal, 47. The younger son represents the new guard of the NDP and disappeared over the last decade was his face visible while working to take over the presidency.
Gamal studied at the elite American University in Cairo and worked between 1988 and 1994 in the London office of Bank of America. Back in the land of the pharaohs, was rising up the formation of his father and surrounded himself with an unpopular corrupt business elite that drove the country's economic liberalization.
One of his last services to the NDP was the preparation of rigged elections last December. He is married to Jadiga to Gamal and has one daughter. "Instead of working to help your father at the end of his life, he ruined his image." The Egyptian press attributes this phrase to Alaa, 49, who would have thrown his brother in the late Gamal father's reign.
The eldest son of Hosni and Suzanne gave entire political leadership Gamal and dedicated to making a successful career in business, especially real estate. He had two children from his union with Madi Haidi Rasek. Death in 2009 of one of them, Mohamed, 12, was greatly affected his grandfather.
Her pain was given an image of humanity and sympathy, which only lasted a few months. Due to their unequal role in Pharaoh's court, the charges against the two sons are different. Gamal is accused of embezzlement, squandering of public funds and involvement in the killing of protesters during the riots.
Alaa, meanwhile, has only been accused of illicit enrichment. State media have conflicting versions about the current whereabouts of the patriarch Hosni Mubarak. It is unknown whether he was taken to a hospital near Cairo or stay in Sharm el Sheikh. It is envisaged that the Attorney General of Cairo to resume its questioning on April 28 on charges of corruption and murder of innocent people during the revolution.
Your children will appear in court on April 19 for further investigation. Street waits impatiently for the development of interrogation. There are many mysteries to uncover. In a country where rich and poor are separated by a chasm, is a mystery the exact value of the family fortune of the last pharaoh, divided into Egyptian and foreign banks and exclusive properties in New York, London or Los Angeles.
The clan must also respond to a legacy marked by an emergency law, effective from the coming to power of the household head allowing long detention without charge. And it created a police state through its executive arm, the dreaded state security, limited freedoms and spread terror and impunity.
A bleak future threat to a family dethroned. The wife of former Egyptian president, Suzanne Thabet, will appear in the coming days in court accused of illicit enrichment. The wives of Alaa and Gamal are also being investigated for corruption. Their husbands are facing a long prison even if his defense depends on the best lawyers that money can buy.
And the biggest question is whether health or death to pardon the man who ruled Egypt for 30 years. The heroic military believed that Pharaoh and his autumn facing away from the cut and transformed into a villain.
