11:17 am
and bread. those calls by unarmed civilians were met with a type of police brutality that was synonymous with the mubarak regime consequently the demands and chants shifted to a simple and very. reeky a one. shot beauty had a scot in the rom or the people demand the force of the regime. on february the 11th it's felt or slow the faults were box that the site and the country's military generals took charge despite attempts by the army to maintain power they were forced to allow the country's 1st ever free and fair parliamentary elections to take place those were then followed by a vote for the presidency which resulted in the muslim brotherhood parties mohamed morsi becoming egypt's 1st ever democratically elected president. throughout that time social and economic instability became the norm egyptians had begun
11:18 am
experiencing political freedom but living conditions remained bad regular attic tricity outages and the never ending fuel shortage crisis led many to direct their opposition to egypt's post revolution president discontents continued to rise and in 2013 supported by the army and police another mass protest took place will be it's far smaller in size and shorter in duration than that of 2011 the protesters said morsi had to go because he failed to deliver on the goals of the revolution his supporters said it was the counter revolution that had been sabotaged the morsi presidency and was now behind the unrest it's later transpired that most of the crises were in fact manufactured and the violence which rocked egypt streets had been encouraged by a deep states that want to traverse the gains of the john you 25th revolution. there or move all of morsi by a military coup in 2013 installed on the general abdul fatah his sisi as leader and

ultimately president. it. since assisi came to power egypt has become the world's 2nd largest borrower from the i.m.f. in 2014 the country had a foreign debt of $46000000000.00 today that figure is more than 100 and $25000000000.00 poverty levels in egypt have increased just a clique and more than 50 percent of the country's revenue is spent on trying to pay back its foreign debt meanwhile its easy has found money to build several huge new palaces and buy a new presidential plane amongst other things but here actions that have enraged the egyptian public the vast majority of which lives on or below the poverty line 10 years on cairo's to here square is a far cry from what it looked like egypt is not the country those who protested dreamed it would become and for tens of millions of egyptians they have little if
11:20 am
any freedom justice and bread well jamal joins us now live jamal you reported on the arab spring closely particularly egypt what can you remember of that time. historic moments that really did shake up not just the region but the world you had teenagers come out on to the streets demanding a better future you had you know people in their sixty's and seventy's who had lived under mubarak for 30 years and only seen their economic situation go from bad to worse take to the streets all of them united essentially with that clear aim there's a lot of talk i remember at the time and even to now people point to the economic reasons behind the arab spring but it's important to note that at that time there was a lot of people were out there demanding freedom were outraged at the oppression that they had seen so there was the case of how did saeed that young egyptian who was
11:21 am
beaten to death by police and others that bird or sparked rather that uprising one of the most interesting. kind of things that i remember not seeing at the time was that it was maybe one of the only times that egyptians were. seen to come together regardless of gender background and sect and religion and united in the face of what they saw as. to run a court leader however that only lasted for those 18 days because the moments that mubarak stepped down obviously division started to emerge but they were very very historic moments. freedom justice and bread that's what protesters were calling for a decade ago how far would you say those objectives have been met well let's take them each one right freedom amnesty international just issued a report today talking about the thousands of political prisoners currently behind bars in egypt it's titled i don't care if you die and it talks about the negligence
11:22 am
of the security services towards prisoners in terms of their health in terms of their well being and the systematic torture that the are subjected to what has seen one of our jazeera journalists who has been in bars for just under 1500 days you look at the political parties that no longer exist it is a state that is run by a general and there is 0 poor lism in terms of politics or in terms of the media justice again reports will talk to him to that point as well as social justice when you look at the so for your inequality that exists between an upper class that has only been getting richer and the working class that is you know drowned into poverty and that leads to the usual of bread in the economy we mentioned there in the reports of how dependent egypt has become on foreign loans and on how. the current regime has essentially destroyed the local production in the country
11:23 am
and so forth so for many egyptians they will see that not only as the revolution failed because of the counter revolution and what's happened since but in fact the small gains that were done made in terms of pluralism free elections and so forth have been reversed the question that people are asking is that does this mean that egyptians have given up does this mean that the revolution failed because the idea of the revolution was wrong well there are still tens of thousands if not millions of egyptians that we've seen take to the streets in the last september just a few months ago another sporadic protests that believe that there is still hope for change but obviously that will take a lot longer than they had hoped to moderately good to talk to. their 1st live. the indian army says there's been a minor faceoff between their troops and chinese forces it happened in the nichol area which is the northeastern state of sikkim last week china has not responded to
