من قلبي - رسالة يوم ٢٤ يناير ٢٠١١ من صديقتي أبية

من قلبي

٢٤ يناير ٢٠١١

 أنا بكتب ويا رب أعرف أووصل اللي أنا عاوزة أقوله

اللي بيحب مصر وبيخاف عليها بكل عيوبها، بكل قسوتها، بكل ناسها، بكل حلاوتها، بكل حنييتها ، بكل أهلها، بحللفكوا بكل ذكرياتنا الحلوة فيها اللي مهما حصل لا

يمكن يمحيها أو ياخدها مننا نظام جشع أخد كل حاجة  بس مش حياخد بلدنا مننا، نظام كل مصلحته إنه يمحي هويتنا ويعيشنا أغراب في بلدنا ، كلنا حاسين بدة بدرجات متفاوتة، الغني والفقير، المسلم والمسيحي، الشباب و اللي أكبر شوية من الشباب :)، النظام ده عرف يستقطب ناس اشتركت معاه في مص دم بلدنا وتملكوها بوضع اليد، أنا مش من الناس دي ولا انتم ، ومش هسمح لحد ياخدها مني أو يخوفني بثورة الجياع لإننا مش هنستنى لحد ما تقوم ، احنا حننزل بكرا نطالب بالتغيير ، مش حنسمح لحد بالشغب أو بالغوغائية أو بالتخريب ، لأن اللي حيعمل كدة هيكون عميل للنظام مش مصري عاوز بلده ترجع  أم الدنيا

 يمكن دي تكون أول خطوة في طريق ربنا يعلم إن كان طويل ولا قصير الامد، لكن المؤكد انها ممكن تكون آخر خطوة نقدر نتجنب بيها الإنفجار. التظاهر السلمي... يوم 25 يناير بيقوده شباب ومثقفين وسياسيين وناشطين، بمختلف توجهاتهم ، هدفهم واحد ، هو رجوع حقنا في بلدنا ، وإحنا حننزل معاهم علشان هدفنا واحد ومش هنستنى ثورة جياع تاخد بلدنا مننا للابد . أنا هانزل ارفع علم مصر أمام السفارة المصرية في اتاوا لكن أولادي هينزلوا المظاهرة في مصر. يا ريت كلنا نرفع علم مصر في الشباك أو البلكون أوعلى باب البيت ، البنات والستات والناس إللي مش هتقدر تنزل ياريت برضه يشاركوا من الشباك أو البلكون ، بكرة لازم نعلن اننا مصريين بنحب بلدنا وبنخاف عليها وبنضحي علشانها،  هنعمل زي ما بنعمل في متشات الكورة، هنهتف بإسم مصر :))

Thank you ALL for your love, support and prayers... The men have formed vigilante groups 24/7 to protect their families against thugs and thieves and AHLL we're safe Thank God. The demonstrations in Tahrir Square were EXEMPLARY: civilized and peaceful, historic really. This was unfortunately wrecked today by pro-government forces who attacked on horseback and camels and threw rocks and molotov bombs!

Yes, these are Egypt's brave youth who took the full brunt of police brutality and allowed us to stand in Tahrir Square!

No fear, only dignity... United we stand and we will prevail Insha' Allah


We've been to Tahrir last few days, and were impressed by the spirit of the youth leading this revolution and watch the rich, poor, men, women, Muslims, Christians, demanding freedom and democracy. I encourage you to participate tomorrow in Tahrir square, there is no threat to your security. The objective is to show that we are the majority. This is "history in the making". Be part of it!


What many fail to understand is this: even if we wanted we can't stop the momentum and send the youth home. This is NOT OUR revolution, it's theirs; they paid for it with their blood. They allowed us, graciously and generously, to share it with them although most of us took their initial call of 25 January lightly and didn't even show up except after the bloody Friday 28 January! تحيا مصر

Whether you're supporting what's happening or not, it's time to support YOUR country... Please don't rush to banks and withdraw more than you need or run and buy dollars if you don't need them, and if you do then just buy what you need. Egypt is OURS so let's support its economy to stay strong and not sink into chaos and recession. Please spread

Someone commented that the youth don't have to continue to protest in Tahrir and that the changes can come voluntarily! To him I say.. I respect your point of view and will quote Voltaire "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." Do you really, really believe that any change will come about "voluntarily"? Do... you honestly think that all these radical changes would've come about if it were not for these youth who are murabeteen in Tahrir? Does anyone realize the kind of oppression, torture (physical and mental) and humiliation these youth have been subjected to that made them explode to a point of no return? NONE of us was there from Tuesday 25 to the bloody Friday 28 January when these youth faced police brutality and were cold-heartedly beaten and fired upon... Yes we joined them later but THEY paid the price of our dignity and freedom. Economically the economy suffered and will suffer in the short term and like you, I want us to move on and "el nas teshouf masa-li7-ha" but we have neither the power nor the right to ask the youth to stop.
And to EVERYONE who is saying that demonstrators should listen to the voice of reason: kindly stop being condescending!

• • This is the BEST comment I came across: سمعت عن شعوب نجحت ثوراتها وشعوب فشلت ثوراتها وشعوب غيرت وشعوب اتغيرت وشعوب تقدمت وشعوب فضلت عالم ثالث لكن عمري ما شفت شعب عايز ينهي ثورته عشان عنده شغل الصبح والعيال عندها مدارس والمرتب مانزلش!!!!!!!**المرة الجاية ان شاء الله نعملهالكوا في الصيف وفي اول الشهر"

Was a great day ladies! I believe it was the largest number of demonstrators to-date... Definitely over 1 million! It was very civilized, like it was since the first day, and PEACEFUL! People from all walks of life, patriotic songs blazing from the loud speakers that electricians have fixed to the lamp-posts, continuous inflow of people who were chanting slogans. Brilliant!

Yes we have failed the generations after us but so did the generations before us who were raised us on fear and cowardice after seeing what happened to people who dared raise their voices, how they were imprisoned, tortured, killed and their families humiliated. The economic liberalization of the 70s until present (though still with lack of freedom) added another fear, that of depriving you of your livelihood and affluence. But now, for the first time since the '73 war we have all experienced a new euphoria of "Proud to be Egyptian"! Rabena yedeemha 3aleena ne3ma and ye7faz Masr wil Masryeen, Ameen.

Could this be true? Can we finally say Mabrouk ya Masr? Ya Rab, ya Rab, ya Rab!"

Listening to صوت الحرية  non-stop.. Sums it for me and for all my countrymen fighting for their freedom: "The Sound of Freedom"... Great song!


Al7amdulilah... Al7amdulilah... Al7amdulilah... Alf Mabrouk to Egypt and all Egyptians..
 ارفع راسك فوق.. انت مصرى
Lift your head up high (Walk Tall)... You're Egyptian

Got this from my friend Laurie Dunn from Canada:
Awesome news !!! Good for the people of Egypt! :-)

اللهم لا شماتة
But I have NO sympathy for him... We won't forget his achievements but we shouldn't overlook his blatant shortcomings and where it got us and our country either. Egyptians are very kind and forgiving people but I won't forget how my family's safety was compromised and we couldn't sleep at night on 28 Jan and after, for fear of being looted and/or KILLED by thugs who attacked our houses with weapons! Thugs who were unleashed on us by HIS system to intimidate us into submission. Sob7an Allah everyone gets what he deserves: look how over a million people prayed Salat Gha2eb on Shazly, one of the geniuses behind '73 War who died yesterday, Fri 11 Feb 2011 and how these very same hundreds of thousands were chanting against Mubarak, and even cursing him (I never did for the record). Rabena yer7am the martyrs ya Rab

عمرو أديب بعد تنحي مبارك

Great words from the heart and I don't doubt their sincerity for a second because he's speaking out of experience because howa it-beh-dil when he crossed the line they drew for him, but... I don't buy it for a second! This is the same person who along with his brother Emad Adib and Adel Hamouda viciously attacked the youth in tahrir in the first days of the Revolution! I personally saw them on O-tv deviously analyzing the youth saying they had agendas and were manipulated by ekhwan, hamas and other external forces and expertly painting the conspiracy theory! I'll never forget Emad's "sincere" words when he said: "Ya rayes, feeh mo2amra deduk"! When Amr Adib went to Tahrir Square the youth shoed him out shouting "barra, barra", and for good reason!
