For 30 years, the West has been backing dictatorships in Egypt. For 30 years they have been telling us that all is well in Egypt, that this is a moderate regime. This was and remains still now a brutal dictatorship, kept in power by the Egyptian military. Without military support internally, Mubarak could not have stayed in power. And the fact that military itself is now divided, with the Generals scurrying to Washington to get orders, but lots of junior officers and soldiers, fraternizing with the people…that was the decisive event of this mass uprising.

Have no doubt; what the United Stated would like to do in Egypt is to replace Mubarak with a lesser known torturer: Suleiman. But we know Suleiman! We know that he’s in and out of London and Washington, talking to the intelligence agencies, helping them out, torturing people that they are a bit shy to torture in this country (Britain) or the United States or in Guantanamo. So the message of the comrades, the brothers and sisters in Tahir Square is very clear: no to Mubarak but no also to Suleiman! We want this entire regime to go!

It is the West who has kept this regime going. There’s one rouge who still won’t understand what’s happening in the Middle East….Tony Blair- “Mubarak is a force for good!” Well we know what Tony Blair’s idea of good and evil is. Because he supported the killing of nearly a million people in Iraq so 200 compared to that is nothing!

These are the politicians of the West! Shameless! Corrupt! Visionless!

Incapable of doing anything when they see a genuine mass uprising, but deliberately trying to create fake uprisings in those parts of the world where the leaders don’t do their bidding. And have no doubt, that what is happening in Egypt today is also a response to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the crushing of Palestine!

The western politicians who are now realizing that Mubarak is a dictator…have they forgotten Yemen? Where for the last 3 weeks there have been demonstrations every single day? Against a dictator who uses the fictitious presence of Al Qaeda to strengthen himself and his dictatorship? That is the democracy the Americans and their European puppets have been backing in The Yemen! That is what they’ve been doing in Egypt!

And one mustn’t forget the fate of our Palestinian brothers and sisters, for whom we’ve been fighting now for many years as well.

This mass movement that has arisen might have its ups and its downs but, one of the things that a post Mubarak government will have to do, is to end the siege of Gaza!

They have lost in Egypt, as they did in Tunis, the fear of death. And when a people loses the fear of death, then no power in the world can defeat them.
