39. Statement of the Egyptian Youth (repost but translated into English this time)

To all Egyptians hoping to spare this nation strife

We are a group of Egypt's youth who had rejected the bitter reality that we had been experiencing under the
ruling party's regime, with all its symbols and policies, which have led the country to total collapse, oppression and frustration.

We do not belong to any existing political or religious currents and did not have prior agendas, but believed
that certain reforms need to be made.

We were among those who went out and demonstrated in the days of honor 25 and 28 January and the
March of Millions on 1 February in Tahrir Square. We agree with the people on the necessity of change and a
peaceful transfer of power.

We sense the profound need for unifying our front in order to preserve our rights and the gains we have
secured in the last 10 days. We also sense the lack of clarity on how the change we seek could come about and
the need on working to develop consensus on the concrete steps for a transfer of power that would be
satisfactory to the demonstrators and wide sectors of Egyptian society for moving forward. This need is ever
more pressing due to the trying days of anxiety and absence of security the country has experienced due to
the treason the Egyptian people have been subjected to and whose intentional organizers must be brought to
justice.

This statement is based on the pulse of tahrir and the demands circulated there reflecting the visions of these reformers and converge on the items articulated by Dr. Ahmed Zewail and other reformers and that they point clearly to the desire for a "civil" state and rule of law, accountability, separation of powers, transparent elections and that the steps towards this are best articulated by Dr. Ahmed Zewail's letter to the Egyptian people.

Therefore we call for the following:

• Guarantees for achieving the peaceful transfer of power in the coming period.
• Agreement on the clear vision and concrete demands articulated in Dr. Ahmed Zuwail's letter and
outlining practically applicable steps such as:

I.The Constitution: A constitutional assembly of wise men should be assembled to draft a new
constitution, based on liberty, human rights, and the orderly transfer of power.
II. The independence of the courts must be guaranteed.
III. Free and fair elections must be conducted for the upper and lower houses of parliament and
for the presidency, overseen by the independent judiciary.
IV. Government: A new transitional government of national unity must be appointed. The military
must intervene to keep order and to protect the nation in this transitional period.

• Delegating the following names to speak on our behalf and continue to consult with groups of
demonstrators as a nucleus of a negotiation committee, enter into dialogue with Mr. Omar Suleiman
as a representative of the existing regime, and take all necessary measures and decisions to deliver the
country from the current crisis and put forward a vision for the future.

These are names that we believe: enjoy very broad based support based on our consultation with other youth
and protestors; present balanced visions; and represent different political currents, without any one
dominating the others.

We ask those who agree with us to sign this statement.

Recommended Names for the Nucleus of the Negotiation Committee:
• Dr. Ahmad Kamal Abul Magd
• Dr. Ahmed Zewail
• Mr. Naguib Sawiris
• Mr. Ambassador Amr Moussa
• Mr. Gawdat Al-Malt
• Dr. Usama Al-Ghazali Harb
• Dr. Amr Hamzawy
• Mr. Muneer Fakhri Abdul Nur
• Mr. Mahmoud Saad

46. Gaza feeds hungry Egyptian troops in role reversal

Underground tunnels generally used to smuggle goods into Gaza are moving traffic in the opposite direction in the wake of the popular uprising in Egypt.
By Reuters

Israel has blockaded Gaza for over three years with the assistance of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's government, and half the population depends on handouts of staples from the United Nations.

With mass protests demanding Mubarak should quit, sources in Rafah said north Sinai was tense. Angry Bedouins were in control of many roads following armed clashes with Egyptian police.

The sources said Palestinian merchants in Gaza have also been smuggling vegetables, eggs and other staples into Egypt, where store owners have run out of stock because normal supplies are cut off by the unrest -- reversing the usual flow of goods.
