people saying that it reminds them of the dark days of mubarak and it turns out in line with an amnesty international school to go from ever post it has found that the supreme council of the armed forces has been funding for the the media presence of the clues so what people are saying is it is simply the place of one dictator or another. paul i understand that you're saying that with the protestors that remain dissatisfied in the house and nine months now since you were saying mubarak was deposed now the military's are ruling out and it's not pleasing to the people but as far as we understand the army has already agreed to make concessions so why are the protesters still in a state of rejection. when i think we only could make as many concessions as one but it's not going to satisfy the real desire of people here which is why no need to sit down there's a joke that's being bandied about here and it goes that the only reforms that the army has introduced is a new type of teargas says one imagine people feel completely betrayed by the army that happened to give me was a person and i think they feel ve

saying that over mines them off the dock days i think are it and it comes out in line with an amnesty international report and support from that because it has found that the supreme council of the armed forces has been pointing to the media absence of the groups is what people are saying is that they simply the place one dictator or another but what i think beyond that could make as many concessions as the ones that. satisfy the real desire of people here we just need to stick around visits ok that's being bandied around here and it goes that the only way for the city on this is a new type of tear gas says to the one thousand people feel completely safe riding on the t.v. was the closest ally they feel very suspicious of any kind of concessions any person can tell me saying that he predicted the resignation of his government but that of the main power as a caretaker government telling you government is formed so this raises a bombshell some people here tell me also said that the part of intimidation is with thinking on the monday the presidential elections would be like next the next . now people

condemnation is no absolutely i mean the little brutality that has been used by the military i think amnesty international was correct in its course yesterday where this sort of actually surpasses the level of brutality that was used during the mubarak era i guess the protesters you were talking about shoot to kill we are talking about targeting protesters by shooting them in the eyes just incredibly brutal and have to be as you've gotten the bodies by a large garbage. here to her years where it shows that the life of ordinary egyptian has never been devalued after a bit of dilution there are still being considered. kind of. alter the relevance to met serial beings who are being cheated so very harshly with a great deal of the cigar and humiliation and this is the new realization in egypt that the military council is more or less the same as the mubarak regime and they are not. very much and if your thoughts runs into root edge of the online magazine the palestine chronicle joining us live from seattle thank you. alonzo the euro's future is in the heart of europe brussels unveils plans for a joint eurozon
