Protesters threaten escalation if demands ignored
Published in Almasry Alyoum on 09 - 07 - 2011

The Second Friday of Anger page on Facebook said it will give the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) and the government a grace period, ending on 10 July, to answer to the demands of the protesters.
The page called for carrying out expedited and public trials of former officials and yielding to the demands of the protesters without delay. If the demands are not met, it threatened civil disobedience.
The statement, posted on Saturday, said Egypt has witnessed a revolution that demands comprehensive change. Half-solutions, it warned, will not be tolerated.
The statement praised the renewed revolutionary spirit in Tahrir, adding that the lack of a response on the part of Egypt's rulers is a belittlement of the Egyptian people.
The Revolution Youth Coalition, meanwhile, sent a message to the SCAF saying “If you do not change, then you will be changed.” It called on Prime Minister Essam Sharaf to return to Tahrir and form a new revolution government.
It also expressed disappointment at the lack of a response on the part of the SCAF and the cabinet, saying this could lead the situation to degenerate further and the ceiling of the demands to rise.
The Free Front for Peaceful Change warned that the SCAF must not continue to unilaterally manage affairs in the interim period and militarize the judiciary, media and politics.
The front suggested scrapping the Constitutional Declaration and forming a civilian presidential council in which the SCAF will be presented with one member until a president and parliament are elected.
Alternatively, it said, supra-constitutional principles that receive a national consensus may be declared to replace the Constitutional Declaration, with changes being introduced to the country's top leadership. It also called for punishing the killers of the revolution's martyrs and purging state institutions of corruption, protecting human rights and appointing a new government.
