2. PROTESTS AT EGYPTIAN EMBASSY IN DUBLIN THIS FRIDAY 3.30 – 5.30PM
The next protest at the Egyptian Embassy on Clyde Road, Dublin 4 will be this Friday at 3.30 -5.30pm supported by the Arab Liberation Solidarity Movement, Palestinian Rights Institute, Araya Human Rights Organisation and the Irish Anti-War Moment
This protest will be held in solidarity with the Egyptian people who have shown amazing courage over the last two weeks in continued street protests against the Mubarak regime.
The Irish Anti-war Movement expresses total solidarity with the Egyptian people in their struggle to get rid of the brutal dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak. Despite the unprecedented talks with some opposition leaders, which are little short of a diversionary tactic by a besieged corrupt regime, the ordinary people of Egypt are still protesting on the streets of Cairo and Alexandria. Multiple strikes have occurred in workplaces on Wednesday.
Western leaders duplicitously continue to court Mubarak, and/or a possible successor from within his circle that they can do business with, while attempting to scare the Egyptian people and us with the spectre of the two bogeymen of Islamic or Military dictatorship. Replacing Hosni Mubarak with Omar Suleiman, the Director of the feared Egyptian General Intelligence Services (EGIS) since 1993 (aka ‘Minister for Torture’) and the CIA’s direct Egyptian link in the US Government rendition to torture programme, would be equivalent to replacing Adolf Hitler with Joseph Goebbels.
The Egyptian people understand this, as many of them have suffered torture under this regime. That is why they will stay on the streets until the regime falls, and it is why we must continue to support them with solidarity protests here in Ireland.
