Another eyewitness report from Cairo 2015-01-08T18:22:53-04:00 Guest Contributor

This is a letter that came from brother in Egypt (via Salwa Salman from Bethlehem) which speaks for itself. Let’s urgently pray for the situation!

Etti (a friend of Brian Kvasnica, who lives in Jeruslaem)

Dear Friends,

Egypt is finding its way towards more freedom, but please don’t believe what

the international media is saying! There is a plot to topple the president,

and Egyptians do not want that. I have been on the streets with many

hundreds of thousands, probably even millions, who want stability, dialogue,

and change with Mubarak until the elections in September. There are forces

taking advantage of the situation and twisting facts and figures to portray

to the international community a distorted image to topple the government.

The vast majority of people in the streets in peaceful demonstrations (I

speak as an eyewitness because I took to the streets myself) are carrying

banners saying things like:

– yes to stability, yes to Mubarak

– give change a chance

– we are sorry Mr. president

– we accept dialogue, we trust you

– no to El-Baradei, no to the muslim brotherhood (many like this one)

– we are the Egyptians, where is Al-Jazeera, let them come and see

– no to corruption, no to vandalism

– we got what we asked the president for, so why are people still in Tahrir?

Who are they? What do they want?

etc., etc., etc.

We met with people who were in the original protest in Tahrir square who

decided to join us saying: we got what we asked for, and now we accept

Mubarak’s changes and proposals.

I left the street with my wife around 4:15 pm, and the numbers in the

neighbourhood of Mohandessin where we ere gathered had swelled to easily

over a million. As we drove home we saw the same slogans on banners all over

the city, on cars, on walls, on shop windows. We learned that similar

demonstrations are taking place ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, IN MAY DIFFERENT

CITIES. THIS IS THE CRY OF THE PEOPLE OF EGYPT THAT IS BEING TOTALLY IGNORED

BY THE INTERNATIONAL NEWS MEDIA. Is this on purpose??!!! I am perplexed!!!

I am wondering: How come CNN, the BBC, and others are reporting ONLY the

anti-government protests as the voice of the people? This is not JUSTICE,

this is not the TRUTH. There have been reports that these people are being

paid by the government. NOT TRUE! I was there with many many others. I SAW

THE STREETS.

Now to the situation in Tahrir square. Only a few people (hundreds?) are

still there from the original protesters. They have been slowly replaced by

other HIGHLY ORGANIZED GROUPS. They all have the same model of cell phones.

They all have the same blankets (eye witnesses). THESE ARE NOT THE PEOPLE OF

EGYPT. Some witnesses claim that they don’t look Egyptians, and don’t sound

Egyptians (different accent, different dialect). THIS IS A BIG ORGANIZED

COUP TO TRY TO CONVINCE THE WORLD THROUGH THE MEDIA THAT EGYPT WANTS MUBARAK

TO GO, AND THE MEDIA IS PART OF THE DECEPTION. People in Tahrir square are

escalating the situation on prupose to topple President Mubarak FOR THEIR

OWN HIDDEN AGENDAS. This is TYPICAL OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERS, AND EVERYBODY

IN THE STREETS OF CAIRO KNOWS THIS. We heard people on the streets saying

that the plot to take over the country is now clear. THE INTERNATIONAL

MEDIA DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS. The escalation of violence in Tahrir

square is because of this. Egyptians who love Egypt, the millions that took

to the streets yesterday, want this to end. They fully understand that

president Mubarak is between a rock and a hard place, that he cannot quench

the unrest in Tahrir through the army, so the people want to go to Tahrir to

disperse the crowds there by themselves. People in Tahrir are vastly

outnumbered. If Egyptians go the Tahrir square to take control of the

situation, more chaos will erupt, giving a chance to the international media

to blame the President even more. Don’t believe an opportunist like Mohammed

El-Baradei who is deceiving the international community into putting

pressure on president Mubarak to leave immediately so they can fulfill their

own agendas. Franklin Roosevelt said, “Nothing happens by accident in

politics. If it happened, somebody made it happen.” And this is NOT what

Egyptians want! I am an Egyptian. My wife and I were on the streets on

Tuesday and Wednesday in support of the current regime, and we saw millions

on the streets. If Egypt falls, then neighbouring countries are going to

fall one after the other. Someone is behind this!

Please help us uncover the deception and spread the truth. Please share

with everybody.

Best regards,
