US political prisoner Jalil A. Muntaqim gives a statement of support for Egypt’s youth http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/71947

The Egyptian youth movement has yet to evolve into a coordinated leadership of a united front, and because of this weakness the uprising is being defined and motivated as no more than a struggle for regime change. The ideals of demanding democratic freedoms are laudable, but whether prospects of true democracy will manifest themselves depends on more than simply open elections. This is especially true when the US government continues to sponsor the government, especially the military, which now controls the government. Therefore, any electoral process will result in the selection of a neocolonial representative of US interests in the region. Hence, the Egyptian youth uprising will result in regime change, cosmetic change in government operations and a nominal redistribution of some of the wealth to address the most pressing issues of poverty to appease unemployed youth. In other words, the face of the regime might change but fundamentally oppressive structures will remain intact.
