Comment on Communique #5

I watched the announcement of the 5th communiqué of the Military council,



a friend asked me about my opinion about it and here it is:

I believe that things are evolving well, and that we need to be patient with the remaining two demands,

1. Release the political detainees
2. Getting a strong/ trustworthy intern government.

Remember that with all the crap that was on the surface for so long finding good trustworthy people is hard. Try to come up with a name for MCIT for example, and finding it is not that easy. Also with the chaos the detainees could be with the police, secret police, army or thugs, and finding the good from the bad would take some time.

The third request is to follow and prosecute corruption which will be left to the people who now want to associate with the revolution and were pro-Mubarak to the limit. They will try to pull out things about corruption and that can be used to follow and identify all what was happening. Just need to keep track of them, although some would get away with it and manage to go with the flow.

Another two demands that I believe are called for is that Police is and remains a civil job, so obligatory service (Tagneed) in the police should stop. Also the "Amnn Eldawlaah and Am Elmarkazy" should end, and the regular police should handle this and get control of it.

I think we need to give time, and be proactive. Pro-activity here to make sure that we establish things within our own space so that it becomes a fact in 6 month, and that it would be hard to change. This includes some limited politics (like getting the syndicates up and running, and political parties) and the community and social work to start flowing to make a significant change. The later is more important because I agree with a friend that everyone in Egypt will be apolitical junky in the next few month, and those who want the best to this country will not look behind but will look forward and be "DOERS"

Just one final note, and it is not meant to be a negative at this stage. I think the Magless elgesh is listening to the USA, and the USA now wants to be with the people for a while. SO lets make sure that we make the best of it and then call the shots ourselves.

Also, make sure that people step up to their duties, so that in six month we don't get another system that is horrible because people didn't claim the posts.
