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?

iyou know, unless you have been
j under a rock, Egypt is going
jh some tough times right now.
leople of Egypt are growing tired
tir 82-year-old president, Hosni
rak, who has led the country
ree decades. 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 were some of the things
Mubarak did in his- leadership that

I would make constitutional amend
ments right now to acclimate with
the new century, (dissolve) parliament,
talk to the protesters to know what they
want and do it and return the secu
rity and safety to the Egyptian streets
through the police.
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.
