Do you think the protestors in Egypt will win?

Mubarak STILL hasn't stepped down. I'm no expert, but WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THIS GUY? The people OBVIOUSLY don't want him.

My U.S. History teacher said there's been large protests in Egypt before but each time Mubarak has done something to appease the people. So I think that's what he's trying now; he's firing people and making promises because it's worked before.

Do you think this protest is different? Will Mubarak step down? Or will the protest eventually lose momentum?

    The REAL EGyptian protestors who have protesed on the 25th of January have WON!!

    They wanted to change the government and it is changed.

    They demanded changed and other things.

    and the President has promised to fullfill their demands..

    The protestors in Tahrir now on the 2nd of February are fighting each other. so it is a LOSS! in either way they are losing..Nobody should fight with their brother,

    Mubarak will not step down.

    and I respect Ahmed Shafeek and Omar SOliman.

    so lets give him a chance a LAST chance!!!

    I think ppl need to keep protesting until this guy is out of power and most certainly out of the country. He has given a speech how he will step down during the next fall elections and how he will re-write the constitution and how he will make police "respect the people" (that last statement should tell you everything there.. jeez, i'm not expert either)

    I am canadian still in egypt. egyptians think this is full of lies and he is just acting as a "paralyzed snake" he will say these things to get protesters to back away but once they stop he is gonna just rise to power again.

    he has tried every tactic on trying to stop these protesters and obviously it is not working so it seems like he has to start spreading these lies. these speech is a little to late though. if he didn't use violence in the beginning and made this speech earlier (beginning of the demonstrations) than it wouldn't be as big as it is.

    Mubarak played his cards wrong. he has definitely showed the world his true side. he is very bad person and very corrupt by stealing money from the people and not letting people have a freedom of speech.

    Mubarak seems to be using every dirty trick in the book to hang on to power. Eventually he will stand down and be replaced by another army crony. The Egyptian people will be no further forward,

    This suits America and its allies of course who noticeably have been speaking about a nice slow transfer of power to the people. Their approach was not so gentle in Iraq or Afghanistan.

    Democracy when it suits them perhaps ?

    Meanwhile BBC reports seem to come from the top of some 4* hotel roof where they can actually see less than we can on our TV, as ace reporter John Simpson (?) confessed tonight ....

  • It may be different in terms of having an even a more angry protest, but no. Remember, This is the Middle East, were chaos is more common than most other parts of the world.

    People are not believing his false promises anymore. Over 300 dead in Egypt and growing each day.

    The people are not gonna take his oppression anymore. They said, If he doesn't step down, they will hunt him down and kill him. People are ready to die for freedom there. Millions and millions of people want to kill him. His life is in stake. The people of Egypt will go to his palace on friday and demand him to step down now. He doesn't have a choice. Obama told him that he needs to step down. so he knows his time is over.

    Yes he's out is only a matter of time.

    2- put a vice president

    3- declare that he and her son will not nominate them selves in near (after 6 months) presidential election

    4- accept to change the many clauses in Constitution

    5- ask the protests for making negotiation

    but protests is smart they want change the system and mubarak to go

    because he criminal and everyday show this

    to understand what happen in Egypt you must know this facts :

    1- Mubarak is pro-American who govern Egypt since 1981 , and wanted to put his son as new president on the presidential election on September 2011

    2- he make Egypt poor , stole Egypt fortune with his Family , friends ,his company , sell Gas to Israel , make other Arab countries hate Egypt , and make Egypt is

    Police country, where internal inelegance can arrest anyone and kill anyone and abuse anyone

    3- Egypt is most threaten for Israel due to big population 90 millions and big army, and Egypt fortune of resources and smart labor force also Egypt

    Defeated Israel 1973 completely, while Egypt and Israel have peace agreement but Israel fear from any other coming government that may do not respect

    The peace agreement and give Israel the chance to keep killing innocent people in Palestine like usual, so America , Israel , U.K want Mubarak and do not

    Care about democracy, human rights, just want to keep their advantages with Mubarak

    4- Egyptians make civil revolution against Mubarak system; it started to collect people through face book, tweeter, etc , most of them is youth 15-30 years old

    Who do not find job while they are well educated , abused by police , and want to build a new future of Egypt

    5- He stopped internet, mobile, satellite; arrest BBC, cnn, Aljazeera TV agents

    6- He pushed 1 million dirt criminal police forces to stop the protests

    7- the protests arrange the Friday of rage 28 of Jan , and show historical courage never seen in this century and defeated the police completely

    8- Mubarak pushed the army, but the Egyptian army history is clean and did not ever fire a bullet on Egyptians protests

    9- Mubarak take of the police from streets and open jails for criminals to make looting in the country so people fear and ask for the police help

    10- The protests make groups like police to secure the country and arrange traffic and arrest criminals

    11- Mubarak put a vice president and new government to make people calm

    12- Protests refuse and they want the following:

    1- Mubarak must go

    2- Canceling the emergency law which gives permission to arrest anyone this law is 30 years implemented and give the dictators the chance to arrest anyone without courts

    3- New constitution that secure freedom and democracy, human rights

    4- Reelect a new parliament

    13- The army leader said, we will not ever fire on people and the people is free to show their choice (the army leaders is natural now)

    14- American hypocrite government started to comment at first with supporting Mubarak cause he is a friend of them and Israel but now they start to show some support to Egyptian protests , now after they sure that mobile cannot continue and protests is so strong after they become more than 8 millions , so America try to find a soulation

    To be sure that the new president will not be anti-American/anti-west

    15- America still supports him until now and gives him every facility to stop the revolution

    16 – Mubarak and business men related to him hire criminals and secret police to make a massacred in liberation square and kill as much as protests as they can

    And destroy Egyptian museum which hold 75% of human historical ancient antiques which value trillions of dollars

    17- The revolution will success and America will lose their power step by step in Middle East because its hypo crate and foolish policy

    18- Revolution started in Tunisia and then Egypt and will continue to all Arab countries and this make America and Israel fear, because they support all dictator systems in Arab countries

    19- This revolution not for specific ideology (it's not like Iran revolution), protests is Muslims, Christians, liberals, communist , every methodology in Egypt

    It’s the biggest CIVIAL protest in history 8 million (10% of population) , it's for democracy , freedom , human rights , so why America /EU keep Quit?

    Revolution until Victory, Egypt is Uprising, Long Life Egypt, the oldest Civilization in history
