the are hitting egypt middle class of c.z. return to egypt on friday after his address to the united nations general assembly earlier in the week and here's what he had to say about at those allegations against. you that this is an image being painted as was done before comprised of lies and defamation and some media working to present an image that isn't true when really strong the country is really strong and why because of color and because of you so don't worry about anything don't worry about anything. well for more on this i want to bring in stephen meca nerdy he's the executive director of the project on the middle east democracy and the joins us tonight from our washington bureau stephen welcome to the day we got the united nations human rights chief saying that she is concerned about the lack of process following this latest wave of arrests in egypt what really do we know about these arrests and these detentions. what we don't know a lot of details there's very little transparency and we hear lots of anecdotal reports

i was mass protests may be a rare sight in cc's egypt crackdown on dissent is not. in suez and government protesters who gathered for the 2nd night in a row were confronted by police and other security personnel. who fired tear gas and other forms of ammunition at what appear to be unarmed demonstrators egyptians 1st took to the streets on friday evening demanding that former army general term president of the fatah has sisi resigns in cairo was the numbers weren't huge their voices were loud and clear i was in alexandria egypt 2nd city people angered by corruption poverty and oppression called for the same the people demand the fall of the regime in months in iraq and mahalla as well as several other cities what appears to be a nationwide movement has begun to form these protests come off the back of revelations by a former military contractor named mohammed ali who exposed millions of dollars worth of embezzlement and theft of state funds by c.c. and his family at a time when the egyptian president has introduced sweeping austerity measures claiming the government

that are on our radar this week with one of our producers you know actually rafi nina the media in egypt are severely restricted under the government there but there is one very public dissenting voice going after the president himself what can you tell us about him this person who's speaking out richard is very well known in egypt he's a film and t.v. actor his name is muhammad ali and over the past few weeks he's been posting numerous half hour long video on facebook and youtube and he's doing it from spain . well actually. he gave an account. what happens to that now. now it's not surprising i really felt he had to leave egypt in order to see some of the things he's saying he's gone where few others in egypt would dare to go and he had extensive dealings with the egyptian military and says he saw up close clear cases of corruption and embezzlement by president sisi his wife and in a circle these videos richard have been going crazy online they've been getting millions of views and many of those views are within egypt so how are the egyptian media dealing with this given that criticism

so more protests have broken out in egypt with demonstrators demanding the resignation of president. security forces have fired tear gas at protesters in the streets of so was rallies are also under way in your cairo this comes after thousands went on the streets across the country on friday dozens of people were arrested during clashes with police at an anti c.z. demonstration in the capital the protests were sparked by an online call from the prominent egyptian businessman and actor muhammad ali he's in self-imposed exile in spain and has been calling for protests in regular videos which have gone viral across egypt well the former government contractor has posted a new message on social media modalities calling on egyptian security forces to move president sisi from power by next friday or he says millions will take to the streets. i'm still waiting for a response from the defense minister and security forces saying the c.c. is out he is no longer fit for this next friday is ultimatum i'm waiting for that decision and the next step is a multi 1000000 man march we started in our lo

egypt. in egypt is an absolute children a call we the human rights. have been subject of. i'm president since violations i think egypt has and with just such human rights violations in its modern history like the the ones that we have witnessed during the last 7 years on the cc's reign. what we have been experiencing especially during the last 5 years is a process started by sisi to to establish a plutocracy after the military have managed over the last 65 years of. establishing what i call personally called militant prosy which is the rule of the military see see things over himself and behaves accordingly as a rule or not as an elected president because practically and in reality he was never expected through a democratic process so egypt. what's happened in egypt now is is a long overdue movement by the masses to rid the country from children right i do want to talk about the military in a moment but 1st the fact that they have come into tahrir square as we pointed out the center of the thread protests that ousted mubarak how significant is this and the fact that manage

because it's only going to be with the patients of what we have seen in egypt for the last 7 decades believe the best thing for the public to do is to take a stand and to say that we have taken this step now to stop the the tyrants of 2 model from being bored today that what should the egyptian public would say and stand for yeah it's been really good to get your insight thank you very much thank you thank you very much well maggie is the middle east and north africa researcher for human rights watch and joins us now on skype from berlin good to have you on the program we've just heard a given been given a macro look of what's been happening in egypt as a whole both politically and on the streets can you give us an idea of what to brought people on the streets here that it's brought them to the brink of these kinds of protests at the expense possible of a possible crackdown. well i agree with most of what mr the memo has just said i think it's a long overdue movement egyptians have been brutalized by ceases government for more than 5 years no other government in egypt streets in hist

in egypt there was such a commonality of discourse that they actually singled out these facets of the information but what we can hypothesize if we look at the fact that the message of the promoting is similar it's against the events quote that what we can surmise is that whoever is responsible for purchasing this information this propaganda package is either outsourcing this strategy to various companies individuals some individuals have their own boat nets with these this information that works so i think it's important to see that whoever is running these accounts might be multiple actors all of whom are probably on some form of payroll from a middle man or middle person 1000000 said they would go but only a few dozen alien enthusiasts ended up gathering at the gates of a top secret u.s. military base in nevada well the event started as an online joke just charm the gates of area 51 but like a bad fire all conspiracy theories believe the air force base has aliens. and that is it for me for this news hour but don't go away we'll be back in a moment with more of the day's news includ

and yet back in egypt right now, 2000 people have been arrested.k about the significance of this moment, sharif. >> there was a severe crackdown that happened following kind of protest, unprecedented but rare and significant ones that took place of timber 20th. as you mention, this came on the back of this army contractor who worked on construction projects with the military for many years, dating back to the mubarak era. he is a little-known actor. he accused -- amy: where is he? >> in n spain and self-exile. he sold much of his assets in egypt and made millions and went to spain. he posted these videos from there and accused sisi by and top generals byname of acts of corrections -- corruption, of squandering funds on vanity projects. he was specific and it touched a nerve i think for two reasons. one is egyptians are suffering very deeply economically. this is on the back of years of austerity measures came on the back of an imf loan, $12 billion that included deep subsidy cuts to electricity and fuel, included sales taxes, devaluation of the cur

but let's get more on those protests in egypt. an army is an associate professor of political science here at the institute of graduate studies thank you for coming on set today. i want to talk about it we've had a look at the wider protest movement but i want to talk about how this is happening or why it is allowed to happen with regards to the fact that not that long ago this would have been completely shut down by security forces that's true i think the mean to the type of the last couple of weeks is the emergence of muhammad ali the guy that came out was many. leaks about 60 corruption which i would say put an end to the narrative of says that he is clean he's honest is trying to build the egyptian country so when he came out with these kind of leaks that i mean he has many evidences about his corruption and about cc's men if i would say there's so this has changed dramatically the public mood in egypt from this kind of frustration there is no hope for a change from this close sphere to this kind of public anger from sisi and

well egypt has been silent we have written numerous letters to president. to the foreign minister but there's been no response from them so what we did when my mom of a certain was to be released in may of this year we wrote to the african commission on human and people's rights asking them doing gauge with the government of egypt because he had been sent back to prison for the 1st time the african commission has actually written a letter to the president of egypt raising the case it's a confidential letter we don't know the details of it but soon they will be releasing a statement about so that was one success we heard of engaging international organizations and multilateral bodies with the egyptian government we tried to go through the league of arab states but there was door response so in a nutshell the government of egypt maintained silence they never respond and they don't acknowledge anything. thank you so much for coming to shed light on this case that now the recent peace process between the taliban and the u.s. offered some people living in afghan

thousands of people are protesting across egypt calling on president abdullah fatter l.c.c. to resign over corruption allegations so 4 people have been arrested at protests in the capital cairo is banned from reporting inside egypt sisi has arrived in new york ahead of the u.n. general assembly but is yet to comment on the protests reports. from cairo to alexandria to men sora anger and resentment filled egypt's streets people protested against president abdul fattah el-sisi calling for him to resign from on corruption allegations and a real sites they flooded into cairo's to hear square before police dispersed the crowd arresting some the square was made famous in 2011 during the egyptian revolution that toppled former president hosni mubarak the fact that people have been able to actually enter to harry square is in itself an incredible achievement for the people in order to try to protest against sisi so it seems that there is this bubble that the growing tension is growing and it seems that momentum is increasing at a minute by minute egyptians are frustrated about corru

how do you think he compares to president morsi when he was in as you gyptian the leader of egypt how do you think sisi compares. he has tried to achieve more people who see. you think see iran were really gigantic you see is worse than morsi do you not think torture is worse no no i imagine when you see them go around cairo murdering babies do you know he's the head of the muslim brotherhood. a he's the muslim brotherhood. it's not. that strongly reputable of a group but you would rather have them in and so you see. is that he truly i'd rather have people not being praised who subject their citizens to. industrial degrees of torture yeah and you saw morsi and the man who was responsible well it was mr sisi was responsible as human rights watch said and 2013 for one of the largest single day massacres in modern times in a city for which nobody has ever been held responsible somewhere between 40800 people die. it indiscriminate killing by egyptian forces who see didn't do that. i think there would be a variance of opinion of believing that the muslim brotherhood being in power in egypt

in cities across egypt but given the crackdown that we have seen in the country in egypt the jailing of many thousands of protesters john less civil rights activists who we know that president sisi has a very strong grip on power in reality he is a how much of a threat all these protests to him. well look we'll have to wait on seeing that wonder and remember that mubarak seemed to be in complete control a man who had really absolute control the situation in 2011 but it changed very quickly and there was a point where the army turned against him it can happen it could happen that the army in order to protect its own interests would say that perhaps sisi isn't the one that is that we're going to keep continue to support that we will actually have to listen to what's going on in the streets and the army to notice that the power of the street as spoken it's only 8 years ago and it could speak again so i think we'll have to wait and see is this the beginning of something can c.c. simply snuff it out we don't know at this stage it's interesting spoke about the army there from what you're s

demonstrators in egypt or again calling for. president sisi to step down protests have spread to several cities these pictures are from antigovernment protests in the capital cairo police of calls of all entrances to tahrir square the hearts of the 2011 revolution and these pictures coming in from in upper egypt where more crowds are calling for the president's resignation cafes and shops have been shots and football matches canceled and security is heightened across the country well pro-government counter-demonstrations have also taken place in cairo script say more than 2000 people from last week's demonstrations are believed to have been detained though egypt says that number is closer to thousands human rights watch says the government may have conducted the most sweeping arrests since late 2813. on his return from the united states sisi dismissed those demonstrations. this is a fantastic country where everything goes as planned i don't want to listen to those who don't like egypt don't deal with them because they are trying

how do you think he compares to president morsi when he was soon as he gyptian the leader of egypt how do you think sisi compares. he has tried to achieve more people than we'll see do. you think syrians were really trying to answer yes he is worse than morsi do you not think torture is worse no no i'm asking when you go around cairo murdering babies you know he's the head of the muslim brotherhood. he's the muslim brotherhood. it's not. that strongly reputable of a group but you would rather have them in and so you see. there's any true i'd rather people not being praised to subject their citizens to industrial degrees of torture here and use them or send them out who was responsible as well as mr al sisi was responsible as human rights watch said in $23041.00 of the largest single day massacres in modern times in a city for which nobody has ever be. held responsible somewhere between 40800 people die. in it indiscriminately killing by egyptian forces pussy didn't do that . i think there would be a variance of opinion of believing that the muslim brotherhood been in power in egypt is

and i mean maybe you meet with more people that are dealing with religious issues in egypt tonight do i doubt it but i've met with a number of people that are practicing people of faith minority faiths in egypt. and here's what they tell me. that this is much better under the c.c. government than it has been even though you would prefer the muslim brotherhood they do not. there is communal violence is taking place and it is very discouraging . they are very appreciative of the signals that president sisi is sending from on time and top and trying to push they very much appreciate him dedicating in opening up a church because of the signals that it sends they are not appreciators are being closed as well and let me finish this point if i could with you they appreciate some of that now i look at it and i see a lot of problems that are taking place. these are these are not the sort of thing where you you pick the perfect against what you have right now this is the sort of situation where you say this is it's either candidate a or candidate b. within us and they would rather have the curr

he's gone where few others in egypt would dare to go. i knew he had extensive dealings with the egyptian military and says he saw up close clear cases of corruption and embezzlement by president sisi his wife and their inner circle these videos richard have been going crazy online they've been getting millions of views and many of those views are within egypt so how are the egyptian media dealing with this given that criticism of the president there is such a no no well these videos have been seen as so incendiary that president himself came out to respond he was at a conference in cairo when he spoke about allegations. will tell you. how to close a deal with a totally. we haven't seen such a public challenge against president sisi before now that's in part due to the fact that the suppression and targeting of independent journalism has been so effective among the hundreds of journalists who are currently in jail in egypt there is as on mahmoud hussain who's been held without any charge for more than a 1000 days all right the other story

just need egypt egyptian corporation and does need sisi loyalty . i don't think the us particularly need sisi himself i think eventually he could well be ousted by gyptian military. backers of him when he becomes more of. a liability than a plus for the regime we're not there yet but i think the us doesn't even fully trust sisi when it comes to fighting terrorism and the best evidence for that is the way in which lots of parts of the us government criticize the way c.c. uses weapons in the sinai conflict and doesn't allow american advisers in american journalists to go into the sinai to see how that war is being prosecuted and that's connected to all of these other issues and so the question is you know worldwide but also in the u.s. it's a jewish unship and just for egypt you know what are you doing to attenuate terrorism and what might be making it worse and in the sinai in particular the antiterrorism strategies seem to at times make things worse and that of course doesn't bode well for the any trust from washington in c.c. in terms of counterter
