Egypt recovered its history
by Justo Manuel Gaggero
With nearly 29% of its population illiterate, an infant mortality of approximately 36 cases in every thousand inhabitants, to give us an idea Cuba is in only 4 cases and a system of absolutely poor public health, social structure recognizes middle and upper class with high incomes and reduced in number and the bulk of the population-farmers, urban dwellers and workers, with serious problems of employment and wages for survival.
No reliable official statistics, unemployment affects almost 40% of the population.
occur in this context the recent events that shook the major cities of this nation and put in tension to the U.S. and Israel, the main pillars of the dictatorship headed by Hosni Mubarak.
The demonstrations began on 17 January after a militant antidictatorial caught fire in front of the Government Palace.
The next day two men did the same thing and one died. These sacrifices launched the biggest demonstrations in this ancient country.
Remembering
For
have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe modern history of this nation, whose origins date back to six thousand years ago, say in 1914 was placed under the protectorate of Britain, which negotiated a limited independence in 1932.
The existence of the Suez Canal, a fundamental means of maritime transport-English justified the military presence, as perceived by the colonialists.
During the Second World War, this country was used as a military ally.
Following the conflict was growing anti-imperialist sentiment in the Arab peoples, against the proclamation of State of Israel, in 1948, in the Palestinian territory.
King Farouk, who held formal power of the Egyptian nation, joined his troops to the armed forces were the different states of the Maghreb to confront Zionism; confrontation in which they were defeated.
As a result of the large demonstrations against the royalist leaders accused of vacillating and cowardly in the conduct of the war, was established within the Army, a nationalist group called "Free Officers".
In 1952, Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser, leader of this organization, led a coup that overthrew King Farouk.
The new regime was proclaimed nationalist, socialist and interested in benefiting poor farmers, putting away, launched a land reform in which land was expropriated landowners.
The new government agreed with the Soviet Union, the construction of the Aswan dam that would irrigate large tracts of land and achieve the electrification of the entire nation.
The nationalization of the Suez Canal determined that the country was invaded by troops English, French and Israelis.
The harsh Soviet response, and U.S. mediation, determined that the invaders leave Egyptian territory.
Nasser At the international level, with President Tito of Yugoslavia and the support of world leaders like Fidel Castro and the Algerian president Ahmed Ben Bella, promoted the creation of the Non-Aligned Movement which was joined by all nations on three continents that gained their independence from colonialism.
in 1970 to die of a heart attack on Egyptian independence leader, took his place, Vice President Anwar Sadat, which represented the right wing of the Arab Socialist Party, founded by Nasser.
This initiated a policy of openness to the West called infitah, breaking relations with the Soviet Union, outlawed opposition parties and repressing peasant and worker protests.
At the same time initiated a rapprochement with Israel, which was repudiated by the entire Arab world.
In October 1981, when he attended a military ceremony was mortally wounded in an attack organized by army officers, dissatisfied with the course of domestic policy and outside of the regime, which claimed Nasserists.
The idea of \u200b\u200bthe conspirators was to end with the entire government leadership among which was Hosni Mubarak, who was unhurt, and took the government initiated a crackdown killed hundreds of thousands of prisoners and reaffirm the dictatorial regime and its clear alignment with the United States.
With these lines, and in the context of growth and deepening social exclusion, begin building an opposition movement increasingly recognizing two large areas.
one hand nucleate Islamist movement the Muslim Brotherhood organization, which has carried out numerous attacks over the past decade, its members being repressed with great brutality by the security agencies and, on the other hand, a democratic opposition umbrella a broad spectrum from the communist party, socialist sectors, Nasserites and leaders of peasant movements and workers.
These are the stars, along with unemployed urban poor and rural areas of demonstrations demanding the fall of the dictatorship.
The "Leopard"
Following the approach changes appear to change anything, Mubarak appointed as vice president to his Intelligence Chief Omar Suleiman, a 77-year General closely linked to the Central Intelligence Agency-CIA-American and Israeli intelligence service - Mossad.
Indeed this character secret prisons organized into Egyptian territory to which they are taken hostages by U.S. intelligence agents in their countries of residence, on charges of alleged "terrorist" and thrown into them, where they undergo to savage torture, dying a lot as a result of torture.
Last year in Rome began a lawsuit against a dozen CIA agents who had been kidnapped in Italy, an Egyptian Muslim cleric in 2008, he remained in captivity for nearly two years, was released with serious physical and psychological scars of the cruel and heinous to which it was submitted.
United States has refused to extradite the perpetrators of this crime against humanity, of that nationality,
The victim testified in court that during interrogation involved the said Suleiman.
The other appointment, the Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik has the same bias, as it is a scheme member who has shared all policies in the past 30 years.
The people have rejected the changes, nothing changes. Opens an interesting and rich process, claiming anti-imperialist tradition of this nation. See what happens.
