In order to give our views of a person, we should look at their achievements, to judge them fairly. Hosni Mubarak has been the president of Egypt for three decades, but he has never been a successful president. He did not give anything but destruction and devastation to Egypt, because of his wrong policies and indulging himself in his own desires, the desires of his family and the members of his ruling party, rather than the interest of Egypt and the Egyptian people. Hosni was not up to the responsibility that fell on his shoulders after assuming the presidency of Egypt, and he failed to run the country. He depended on strengthening the security apparatus to suppress the Egyptian people and to protect himself from the wrath of this ancient people. He has practiced all forms of racism, discrimination, violence and terrorism against the poor people. The deteriorating situation experienced in Egypt today is the best proof of the failure of Hosni Mubarak in the management of the helm of the country. This man, in my view, is not wise and is not a leader, but he came to power by chance, and this is a misfortune of the Egyptians, who have suffered and are still suffering under Hosni Mubarak. So I think that it is better for Hosni to step down in favor of electing another president who can take the country to safety and try to reform the ravages inflicted on Egypt because of Hosni Mubarak.

Hosni Mubarak has to step down from the presidency immediately, enough monopolization the chair of authority. I believe that Mubarak did not give anything to Egypt over his long period of ruling Egypt. On the contrary, I think he led Egypt towards the abyss, and he was the reason for the worsening of the crises in Egypt. Egypt, under the rule of Hosni and his authoritarian party, is suffering from a crisis in housing, rising unemployment and the deteriorating economic situation, in addition to the imbalance in the social, health and education situation. Indicators show the failure of Hosni Mubarak in the management of the country during the past decades. So he should step down from the post of the presidency and give up the power, for the establishment of free and fair elections for a new president for Egypt, who will lift it out of this reality of misery, which was caused by Hosni Mubarak.

I do not think there is a good Arab ruler.

The Egyptian people need to be rescued from Alashwaeyat, poverty, ignorance and diseases. Egypt needs someone who can save it from corruption and corrupting. Egyptians need to live with dignity, as they were created by God, the Almighty. To find pure potable water, food that is free of cancerous components; a job to make a living; a shelter to protect them from cold and hot weather; an income that guarantees a decent life; and good treatment for himself and his family members. Egyptians are in need of the basic necessities for living with dignity. It is not important who is the president, whether it be Mubarak or his son, or Al-Barada’ai or Zait or Mait, or Nutat Al-Heet… the most important thing is who can provide these needs…

There is no constitutional impediment to the nomination of Mr. Gamal Mubarak for the presidency, like any other Egyptian citizen, he has the right to run for office. As for the fact that he is the son of the president, I think this is a wrong issue that all the opposition parties use to object to his nomination. The opposition in our beloved home objects to everything, even the right things. Of course, this is a serious problem for democracy and our Arab peoples. The great Egypt does not deserve this, and the majority and opposition should realize this.

Mubarak is a wise man and he has many achievements as well as faults, just like any other president or king in any other country.

Egypt has separated itself from the Arab and African world, and its role has become too marginal. We have isolated ourselves, and we should expect this and even more...

When one ignores faults and mistakes, believing that they will disappear over time, he will be surprised to find these mistakes growing worse, threatening the whole regime, and this is what has happened with president Mubarak, who has been ruling Egypt for 26 years as president, plus 6 years as vice president. Under his rule, Egypt has faced many difficult situations and suffered many problems, including poverty, disease, illiteracy, and strange events. Life in Egypt has deteriorated significantly during his reign, on all political, economical, educational and medical levels. The best of the sons of Egypt faced military trials, free voices were silenced, properties were confiscated, and the people came under the control of a group of the new liege lords who monopolized industry, agriculture, business and brokerage. Egypt did not witness any real development, and the man of the hour failed at all levels, to the extent that we are still depending on US aid, and one-third of the Egyptian people are illiterate.

Egyptians recognize the brutal acts of the government against people. However, everyone keeps silent, lest he get the same punishment as the others. The international organizations mustn’t adopt the same shameful attitude towards the events carried out by the Egyptian police, who are violating all the human rights treaties. Those organizations must take action along with the human rights organizations. They must call on the government to investigate all the police officers in Egypt who are accused of such abuses. They must also investigate those specialized in torturing the detainees, either in jail or in the investigation buildings. They must conduct frequent visits to those buildings in order to reveal the truth and to rescue the Egyptians from the brutality and the oppression of the Egyptian government and its services. The constitution must be amended by adding a new law which prohibits the beating or torture of citizens by the police or any other governmental institution. This law must be enforced, and anyone who breaks it must be severely punished. Specialized courts must be created to deal with this kind of crimes. They must receive the complaints of the citizens, and any security member who tortures citizens must be brought to trial. Thus, we can protect the dignity of citizens and put an end to the aggression in the name of the state and its authority.
