Well, this is why we want to get

rid of them as soon as possible.

And to say that the people

are not ready to vote

is just very condescending

and wrong.

I'm not against people

- voting however the way they want.

Yeah, I know you don't agree.

The difference - between me

and you and many of the young people...

You want

- parliamentary elections in two months?

Yes, I want people to vote.

- In two months?

Yes, yes.

As soon as possible.

There are no decent parties.

- OK, so what?

Because you've been living

in a vacuum for 30 years.

OK, you've been living

for the 30 years.

Yet people are complaining that

the Muslim Brotherhood will win.

F*** this.

And they have been

living in the same vacuum.

Yet they do have a following.

You could only start making

parties a week ago.

Humanity has not discovered

anything better

for representation

than elections.

If we don't have this

as soon as possible...

Elections that happen under

circumstances in which

you can have proper elections.

- No.

It's about there being

a voice that is there...

Between the ex-regime

as a major power force

and the Brotherhood

as a major power force.

Where is anything in - the middle? Who

is...? What is there in the middle?

Who do they vote for? -Who do they

vote for? -

Tell me at least

who they can vote for.

I believe that the millions

who made this happen,

I believe that the majority

of them were not people

who wanted the old regime - and were

not people who wanted the Brotherhood.

I am so f***ing scared

of the moment

a lieutenant or a brigadier

general or something

will say,

"Enough of this rubbish.

We are back to military

rule completely."

It is in their interest that it

disintegrates into chaos.

It is in their interest to say,

"OK, you people.

Enough law and order."

Enough of this. All the

politicians are failures.

The Muslim Brothers,

the Salafis, the Socialists,

the Liberals,

they're all failures.

I've decided to walk in

the middle of the street.

The cars can do

whatever they want.

What can they do?

Run me over?

They need to curb

to the side, not me.

I will stand my ground.

Go away.

Enough walking cautiously

on the side.

out and the prosecutors

left with them.

Now we're waiting for the

families to make a decision,

whether they do the autopsies

or bury the bodies immediately.

Without the autopsy evidence,

there'll be a big problem.

They'll be able to say,

"Oh, they died in a stampede."

They have to do autopsies.

They have to be filmed.

Because there are clear

marks that they were

run over by tanks.

They summarised all you wrote,

and said he died from

a bullet in the chest.

Stay here.

I'll get you the report.

For a year,

we've been in this mess.

In this sh*t, in this

country, because of

every time we keep silent.

We can't stay silent.

We have to keep the pressure on.

We might not win this time,

but maybe next time.

People must know

they will be punished

and be afraid of that.

People can't take it anymore.

They're losing their nerves.

The Egyptian regime was

able to fool both Muslims

and Christians.

They want to suffocate us.

If it remains stuck

in our minds

that it's a sectarian problem,

that will be a crisis.

The Army wants this to happen.

The Army wants to divide us.

There is an old saying:

"Divide and conquer."

- Exactly.

They want to divide

Muslims and Christians.

Why, Mina? Didn't I tell

you not to go to protests?

"I won't go.

I'll do as you say, Mom."

But you tricked me and went,

and took your life away from me.

"If I died a martyr, Mom,

would you be sad for me, Mom?"

I'm not sad for

the martyr in you.

But losing you hurts,

my love.

I'm not sad for the martyr

in you, my love.

I'm not sad for the martyr

in you, my love.

Our parting hurts, Mina.

Our Army is firing at us!

A new revolution all over

again!

Live free or die heroes!

Our Army has protected you!

And protected the revolution!

The Army didn't protect

the revolution.

The Army protected

their interests,

but betrayed

the revolution!

Betrayed the revolution!

- Protected!

Betrayed the revolution!

Betrayed the revolution!

Betrayed the revolution!

- The Army betrayed the revolution!

So you are right

and all of us are wrong?

The people demand

the fall of the military regime!

They were firing

live bullets at us.

Firing randomly in

every corner of the Square.

People were falling one by one.

Just because they were saying,

"Down with military rule."

Revolutionaries.

The good and free people

are being called traitors...

...while the traitors

are called heroes.

It was too much.

Too many bullets.

Our Army is killing us.

They can't be Egyptians!

They forgot Egypt!

He's alive, he's alive!

Death always knocks on my door.

Knocking on my head.

I'm trying to do a daily report.

You going to

get it out online?

- Yes.

I think we can

cut into the...

- - The Muslim

Brotherhood has not really participated

in these protests whatsoever.

They want the elections

to go forward as planned

because they stand

to gain the most from them,

and they are being

severely accused by

the revolutionary youth

Hey, kiddo, are you OK?

Ahmed! Ahmed!

Let me pass, let me pass!

Is it a bullet?

A bullet?

Is it a bullet?

Or a rock?

Can I have some bandages?

Bandages, bandages!

Why is there all

this blood?

- Why all this blood?

They're gassing the

hospital and people are dying.

Even the doctors are dying.

I think it's nerve gas.

You collapse and convulse.

Did you film any of this?

- I filmed but then I fell.

You couldn't take it?

I was shaking and suffocating.

Everyone was.

The patients have to be moved,

or they will die.

These are being thrown at us.

This is what is making us

fall to the ground.

America?

A gift.

These

battles have been raging not

for hours, but for days.

Up to 14 people have

been killed, hundreds injured.

A video uploaded yesterday on

YouTube has circulated widely,

provoked outrage at the extent

of police brutality.

General

Tantawi denied that any live

bullets have been fired.

Glorious people of Egypt.

What we are witnessing

now on the streets

and television

are just accusations

attempting to smear the image

of the military.

The Armed Forces

will move forward

with parliamentary

elections as planned.

Presidential elections

will take place before

the end of June 2012.

It's the first time

he dares speak to us!

[overlapping shouts from

crowd]

- [sirens wailing in distance]

Hello, can you hear me?

I have no fear about the

future of this country.

I have fear for a future of

this country which includes

the military,

and a military that wants

to be above the rule of law,

a military that wants

to be above the constitution,

a military that doesn't want

to tell us how much money

they're stealing from this

country, a military

that is receiving aid

in the millions - and billions

from the US and other governments.
