Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2011 The Clackamas Print 3 angered the people of Egypt? He let some of the business people control the market in Egypt; he did not make some essential constitutional amendments like some of the terms which are needed to be a candidate for the presidency (and) he cares for Egypt outside more than inside. Do you think Mubarak should step down immediately or at the end of his term? At the end of his term in September or August. If he leaves now, the consti tutional amendments can’t be achieved now, and we would have to wait a long time to have them, so for the public’s interest he tells us that he had to stay, as he said to the ABC News (on Feb. 3)- tudent speaks in country’s uture Is school going as normal or has it been shut down until the protests subside? We are in midyear vacation now (until Feb. 13), but it can be extended. But if some people have school on these days, it has to be shut down to be safe. What kind of things would you change if you were asked to lead Egypt? Contributed by Ahmed All El Shanf >dAli El Shari,an Egyptian student in Cairo, wonders what life will be like after the protests in Egypt are over iow they will affect his life.

More than 10 thou- igyptians, the majority of them adults, stormed the streets and ded that Mubarak leave office liately. at started as a peaceful yet pow- protest against the government Ito something a little more sinis- recent days. Mubarak supporters gathered on the Tahrir Square where they then began to hurl rocks and pieces of the road at protesters. Ahmed Ali El Sharif, a student in the Electronics and Communication Department of Cairo University, has agreed to answer some questions for The Clackamas Print regarding the situation in Egypt. Questions and responses were edited for clarity and brevity. I am with the protesters in their demands, but I do not agree with the sabotage which has been done in my country. I am a protester, but I did not go to Tahrir Square. I receive the news from my friends to know what is going on. ... The aggression they had is because there are some people with them that began to push the police and wanted to steal only, not to reform. So the police had to stop them by any way they could. This happened from Jan. 26 to 28. About the aggression yesterday (Feb. 2), it was from the wicked that is being paid for by some members in the national party (El-hezb El-Watny) who have benefits with the system right now. They want the protests to end by any way possible. Have you yourself been to the protests?

What type of government are the people of Egypt looking for after Mubarak leaves? A government that really wants Egypt to move on to be in the lead of the Middle East again, a government that deals with humans not numbers, a government that makes reforms in the country and builds roots and estab lishes new projects, a government to do land reclamation as I know there is only seven percent of Egyptian land that is being used, a government that will expand in the desert, care about youth (and) pays good salary. What are some of the fears you have about the next government? The government which is ruling now I like, except some ministers like the minister of the education and media. I fear (the new government) will deal with numbers not with humans, like the previous government. FREE BEER... «U Listen to two guys who make their living drinking and writing about beer.
