because the tools
We're now living
in the state of Tahrir.
It has its housing department.
the Islamist, and the old
regime led by the Army.
The Army has won
part of this revolution.
- - They wanted to
stop Mubarak's son from inheriting power.
Once that happened, they wanted
people to go back home,
and the country to go back
to its corrupt ways.
I'll tell you again,
I have a responsibility.
I feel it,
as an individual,
that I have to insist
on my point of view,
more centimetre I could gain.
Even if it's just one
centimetre, one inch.
- - The Army
are the leaders of the counter-revolution.
You've already won
a lot, and it is threatened.
This is a warning.
Leave! Go home.
If you don't leave,
I will shoot you.
Egyptians do not
revolt easily.
For us to revolt, it means
we've had enough. Enough!
We'll free our country,
no matter what.
And we'll take
down the regime.
The people are determined
Do whatever you want to us.
We're staying,
this is our Square.
The people are the source
of authority, not the Army.
You are saying that
it's a peaceful protest.
You think you can
do whatever you want
and we won't attack you.
But we will attack
if necessary.
That's how it is.
That's the end of it.
You're imposing a
curfew?
- Yes, God willing.
You mean just in
the Square?
- No, everywhere.
But, sir...
Mister,
I'm afraid this won't do.
But they told us - yesterday, we
could continue the sit-in in the Square.
Off you go. Leave.
- Yes, sir.
Why the Square in particular?
We took these
barricades from the police,
so we'd be able
to stop any attack.
We do trust the Army. But there
are some leaders in the Army
who are corrupt because
they are part of Mubarak's era.
Everyone's awake.
There might be an
attack at any time.
Where are the tents?
There are no tents,
they're clearing the Square.
What's going on?
They used to come
in the middle of the night.
They used to
take you away violently.
You were afraid to dream
of punishment.
They used to search
his computer,
looking for anything
religious or Islamic.
They used to come,
and no one could say a word.
He was electrocuted and beaten.
The Army's in this position,
generally, at the moment
where no one
believes that they
could torture people
them for taking responsibility
to return us all to stability
and all of that kind of thing.
This is not the right way
to block a facility
that represents
the authority of the nation.
Compare it to what
happened in England.
I'm going to take licence
to use the ammunition
a kind of demonstration
or any facility.
What happened?
All of them withdraw.
Why? Because they know
the man is serious.
And this is according
to the law.
So why do you deny it
from the Egyptian authority?
The battle isn't just
the rocks and stones.
The battle is in the images.
The battle is in the stories.
Shh!
We decided
to create a space which supports
those fighting
for the revolution
through video
It's what's called
"popular media",
using websites like YouTube.
If you know anyone who
has a digital camera
they're not using, tell us.
We should film
as much as we can.
The truth is that things
are moving quickly.
We don't know when this footage
can be used as evidence.
If people are being fooled about
what is really happening here,
we must film everything
and show them the truth.
As long as there's a camera,
the revolution will continue.
The problem now with the media
is that they oppose change
and turn people
against the revolution.
So, what will you do?
Well, I am going
to keep exposing them.
And they'll keep
exposing themselves.
Until the corrupt
media falls.
What are you going to do?
Start a television station?
Yes, hopefully I will.
Well, you'll have to put it
in Cyprus or else they will
destroy it.
So you'll
need a massive amount of money.
Yours,
because your people are poor.
And who is this democracy
and freedom for?
Give others a chance to speak.
- Please go ahead.
No. Carry on, Ahmed.
God give you strength.
I missed you.
- I missed you a lot.
How are you?
- Good.
There's a massive
turnout today.
But it's a different
crowd today.
- Meaning?
There's a big presence
of Muslim Brotherhood.
More than the last week?
- For sure.
Yes, the Brotherhood
wasn't here last week.
All the Muslim Brothers
were told to be here today.
It's been said that
the Muslim Brotherhood
made a deal
with the Army.
This is what's
being said.
Honestly, I'm upset about their
political tactics and games.
They should not
be here for
a political agenda
or gains.
Some Brotherhood leaders make
secret deals with the Army
Square as a negotiating tool.
You know I think
this is wrong.
The Quran is
our constitution!
Islamic rule!
Islamic rule!
The Muslim Brotherhood
started yelling, "Islamic rule,
Islamic rule."
What do they mean by Islamic?
Aren't we Muslims too?
The Brotherhood began to use
the Square to negotiate
with the Army.
They're not calling
for the people's demands.
But for their
political demands.
The Brotherhood ruined
the sit-in.
They've created divisions
amongst everyone in the Square.
They are exhausting
everyone with their lies.
Thank you.
What are you going to eat?
- I have some.
When the Brotherhood
are active,
people say they are
hijacking the revolution.
But the Brotherhood existed
long before the revolution.
But you change your statements
based on where you are.
In Cairo, you say you
a want secular state.
In other areas, you say
you want a religious one.
You are the biggest supporters
of the Military Council,
standing against us.
You speak in the name
of religion to get what
you want.
You contradict your
statements all the time.
Hold on, look at this.
I'm very sorry that
you were beaten in the past.
No, not beaten. We've spent
The Muslim Brotherhood
has damaged the image of Islam.
I am embarrassed of being
The Brotherhood has
hijacked the revolution,
OK, where's your film?
No, you did.
Yeah, yeah.
Your ID.
Open the camera.
Show me the camera.
I want to see
- your ID. -
Don't step outside.
I lived in
the '70s in England when IRA
people or any demonstration
were also beaten up,
and electrified
and I don't know what.
A special machine
So, what I'm supposed to
accept that?
- No, no, you are not.
No, you are not supposed to - accept, but
you are supposed to weigh in on things.
I am weighing in things,
I'm weighing in things.
You seem to take
a few things for granted.
