A coordinator of Egypt’s April 6 Youth Movement told USA Today on Wednesday that if the group’s demands “are not met, we’ll be on the street again.”
Among the group’s demands – one that breaks with the stated policy of the military government – was the halting of natural gas shipments to Israel, citing what it called Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians, according to the report.
The youth movement, along with 10 other democracy activist groups, was scheduled to meet with Egypt’s ruling Armed Forces Supreme Council later in the day, USA Today reported.
Tarek el-Khouly said that his group met with the military earlier in the week but did not make any demands at that time, according to the report. Because it has since become disillusioned with the pace of change taking place in Egypt, Khouly said, they will now make formal demands in the meeting.
Here’s irony.
These Egyptian youth probably let mom do the shopping, so they don’t know this, but the prices of foodstuffs are much cheaper IN GAZA than they are in Egypt!
Take 2007.
In Gaza food inflation was 6.3%
In West Bank it was 5.8%.
But in Egypt and in Jordan the food prices DOUBLED during the same time.
Remember that little fight between Israel and Hamas in Gaza?
What did Hamas use as ”sandbags” to keep their detonating wires in place?
Big bags of flour!
And what Hamas doesn’t waste, it lets its own Hamas supporters have.
Some of the rest of the Gazans can BUY donated foods from Hamas IF Hamas members fell like selling it.
YET, still it was cheaper to buy foods in Gaza than in Egypt!
But Israel is the cause of all the world’s suffering….to the ignorant of Islam, including these Egyptian children.
