The Blessed Square of Liberation

Entry 30

Small, make-shift clinics, servicing the wounded from yesterday out of the backs of a number of parked ambulances across the square. The square is packed to the point of no place to stand. The Spirit is high and the violence is no where to be found.

People from all walks of life are here. There is no one with private interests as that is impossible with the variety available here today. No one can negotiate on our behalf because there is no one group, religion nor political interest that can collectively describe us. The only common denominator is that Mubarak’s departure signifies the commitment to change and therefore it must be delivered.

There will be no violence today if things remain like this. This proves that there is no chaos because of the movement. Only chaos when Mubarak’s regime tried to attack the movement. Therefore the message to Mubarak is, you bring about the chaos by trying to control and end this. You can bring about the peace by stepping down.

We disagree among us about the steps that should be taken after Mubarak stands down. But that is a normal part of the process and we will learn as we grow.

Let us grow. Let us experience this. Let us win as our reward and as recognition to those who gave their lives. Let us honor them by committing to work hard and give up our “interests” and our pride.

Mubarak, you have been at the helm of the ship for 30 years. You must have some feeling for your people. Grant us the merit of earning this for ourselves. Give up and give us peace in the process.
