Egypt Revolution Demand Mubarak Regime Dismissal

By Padmini Arhant

Egypt political stalemate into third week is reportedly met with clashes between pro and anti-government rallies following the provocative announcement by Vice President Omar Suleiman that the state of emergency will not be lifted claiming Egypt is not ready for democracy.

The revolution demand for Mubarak regime immediate dismissal was based on the government reluctance to relinquish power and prolong authoritarianism against the vast majority opposition.

It was evident from the government reaction that political transition would be impossible under the Mubarak administration emboldened by the allies’ insistence on the continual Mubarak leadership for any political evolution.

The Vice President’s reckless remarks are reprehensible and legitimize republic concern accompanied by the unanimous call for President Mubarak and entire cabinet instant removal from power.

Any procrastination from the government due to internal or external influences in obliging citizens’ request to leave office would exacerbate the political turmoil with regional impact.

Presidential resignation including cabinet members discharge from duty is a priority and no longer negotiable with people having conveyed their message loud and clear.

Egyptian Revolution for President Hosni Mubarak Resignation

By Padmini Arhant

President Hosni Mubarak defiance to republic call for his immediate resignation is prolonging the political standoff between the people and leadership.

The Egyptian President expressed strong desire to leave office in a public statement – “I am fed up of being President for thirty long years and I wish to quit now.”

Accordingly the resignation was expected from the leader for peaceful political transition after the national conflict having claimed many innocent lives and brought the country to the brink of civil war.

Now the dramatic decision to stay in power and political imprisonment of the uprising organizers as witnessed with the people representative and Parliament opposition leader Ayman Nour recently is counterproductive for the leadership and against national interest.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak Resignation

By Padmini Arhant

President Hosni Mubarak expressing desire to quit needs to be exemplified in action with immediate resignation from office.

The President’s resignation in honor of the republic will for a fundamental political transformation would resolve the national conflict and prevent further exacerbation of political unrest having claimed many lives.

President Hosni Mubarak concern for the violence in Tahrir Square, Cairo is appreciative.

However the situation is predominantly attributed to state-sponsored infiltration in the peaceful and non-violent demonstration thus far resulting in casualties that are unacceptable.

The government bears responsibility to citizens’ safety and national security. It is imperative for the deployed military personnel to restore law and order.

Those in violation of the law are to be isolated from the peaceful protesters and security measures enforced to terminate clashes between the pro and anti-government rallies.

Egypt – Republic Revolution for Democracy

By Padmini Arhant

Yet another country in North Africa is confronted with republic revolution against oppression.

Egypt – the Pharaoh land has remained so until now with autocratic rule since declaration as the republic on July 18, 1953.

The systemic abuse of power and corruption in the political system has been endured by the 80 million people without any representation in governance.

Uprising in the past has been successfully quelled with violence by the security forces including intimidation through military presence in civilian zone – the standard practice of all repressive regimes in pro-democracy peaceful protest.

The political freedom struggle is never without sacrifice especially against totalitarian government emboldened by strong diplomatic and strategic relationships with powerful ‘democracies’ advising the embattled ally to contain the uprising and not called for renunciation of power due to vested interests.

Besides Egypt military funded with U.S aid in billions of dollars is believed to exert authority in power sharing with the unpopular government.
