Egyptians Losing Patience With the US-Backed Junta Regime’s Foot Dragging http://hamsayeh.net/world/502-egyptians-losing-patience-with-the-us-backed-junta-regimes-foot-dragging.html

Egyptians now face a full-fledged junta government backed by the United States desperately trying to implement an anti-revolutionary decree that criminalizes all demonstrations.The debate over a new law that strictly forbids any kind of strike or demonstration, is ongoing, however the current military junta wants it enacted right away by claiming such popular uprisings undermine economic activities!Ali Fotouh, a driver in the public transportation sector complained, ‘…we really had hopes that the new government will support us and look into our demands. We expected them to say we have all of your legal demands on our desks and there is a timeline of a month or two within which they will be achieved.’ He added, ‘I don’t understand what they mean by protests that affect the traffic and the business. This is not fair, why don’t you solve our demands so that we don’t go on strikes. This tone reminds me of the old days of Mubarak, threats and oppression used by the regime. This is no longer valid after January 25 Revolution.’
