One of the biggest advantages of Egyptian revolution is that it has no leadership nor centralized ideology and this what made millions of Egyptians from around the country join the revolution and support it with all its differences. It is a blessing but it is also a curse at the same time because who will speak with SCAF on behalf of the revolution and all those millions that support it !? I will not speak about politicians and parties because they have never represented the demands and needs of the people before.
Since the ousting of Mubarak and there is a rapid increase in the youth coalitions speaking to the media on behalf of the revolution and the Egyptian youth. It is like you mix the following words " Coalition , Tahrir , Youth , January 25th, 25th , January , Egypt" and you will get a coalition from those coalitions we do not understand from where they came from or when they formed and on behalf of whom they are speaking !!
Many of these coalitions came to life after the revolution youth coalition began to rise in the media. The revolution youth coalition is among the most important political coalitions and groups sprang from the revolution. The coalition is made from the youth of : 6th April youth , Muslim brotherhood, El-Ghad Party, Democratic Front party ,El Wafd party , ElBaradei campaign , El Karma Party , The progressive union, Justice and freedom movement , independent activists and bloggers. The revolution youth coalition has not got only a shaky relation with SCAF "They cut all communications with the council as far as I know" but they also got even worse relations with other political activists and also the street in Egypt as well. The coalition cut its communications with SCAF after the incidents of April 9th still other political activists think that they are too soft with the council and should stop speaking on behalf of the revolution. The Egyptian street as far as I could tell do not trust these young inexperienced men whom are not ready to rule the country. "I do not know from some had this thought that the revolution youth coalition wanted to jump on the chair !!??"
It is worth to mention that the coalition members are speaking on behalf of their coalitions and political groups they represent not behalf of the revolution nor behalf the country but people considered them as sole representatives of the revolution just like they consider Wael Ghonim and Asama Mahfouz.
I believe the revolution coalition youth was burned in the media and this is their problem. Of course the coalition does not bother me on the contrary it could be a good chance for young people to learn politics in the hard way , what bothers me are these endless youth coalitions in the media.
Last week SCAF invited youth coalition to attend a meeting that was actually as lecture at Galaa theater , Cairo on last Wednesday. The invitation was only for coalitions so do not ask about those are not members in coalitions like me what they can do. The invitation was for all coalitions around the country and it was only announced 2 days prior Wednesday only !!! According to the invitation each coalition should send at most 10 because only 1000 will attend the meeting in the theater !! The theater's capacity only takes 1000 attendants !! Of course needless to say the number 1000 indicates that it would be a lecture from one party while the other party would only listen in silence.
Unfortunately it turned in to fiasco as expected. The revolution youth coalition did not go as well as other groups like 6th April but the NDP and MB did go. That fiasco was expected because if you want to make a real dialogue with youth , you invite a small number from youth in order to have a discussion. If you want to make a real dialogue with youth from all over the country then you must travel to the governorates and meet them there in order to know their needs and demands. It is not a mission impossible on the contrary it is very easy to organize knowing the logistics of the armed forces.
Now amazingly it seems that there are more youth coalitions than I have ever imagined in Egypt because the number was too big that the SCAF decided to have other meetings "lectures" next week !! SCAF Fax got the details of 156 youth coalition in Egypt dear friends !! 156 youth coalitions suddenly now are speaking on behalf of the revolution and millions of Egyptians !!!
Needless to say almost all these coalitions were made up just in the 48 hours before the meeting , you and 9 of your friends make up some fancy coalition name from the words I posted above and sent it to the SCAF Fax.
What I am worried is that the Egyptian revolution was too big to be represented by these coalitions even coalitions like Youth revolution. What I am worried about was how the NDP youth will seize the opportunity and they did. According to activists the NDP youth from Qena where the ones who represented the governorate in the meeting as youth coalition from Upper Egypt !!
The Egyptians need their voices to be heard and we do not have a parliament yet.
I will not speak about the generals and about what is in their minds but as long as we divided we will not pass this shady period in our revolution , in our history as we should. We should start to correct our mistakes
The generals need to negotiate with someone stronger enough to represent the Egyptian people.It is like that unforgettable scene in "Wa Islamah" when Hulagu Khan's envoy asked his historical question : When I would like to speak to someone in Egypt , whom shall I speak to !?
I think we need to overcome our differences and return back our true Tahrir spirit of those wonderful 18 days. May be we need a new coalition that does only represent the youth or the revolutionaries but rather the Egyptian people in the current time.
I am not against the dialogue with SCAF like some do because I think if we do not talk and make our voice reach to the generals , the voices of others will be heard especially those of the hypocrites who do not give damn about the future of the country or the future of revolution just like those who went from NDP fake coalitions at Galaa theater.
