Man on the street podcast by Rana Kamaly
Some people have recently lost their trust in the military like Mona Basel, a journalism student.
Shady Khalid, an engineering student also has lost his trust.
Yousra EL Ghor: I think the military plays like the role of the devil advocate, its because they say they are with the people but they are not really with the people they take orders from Tantawy and stuff like that and who knows if Mubarak is still empowering Egypt or giving orders to carry out. I think the fact that they say that they are here to protect the people and the citizens and stuff, and that the people get to see them on the streets and that they protect us, that’s a good thing for us but at the same time should we truly trust them?
Good morning ladies and gentle men. Today in what do you think, our question is: do you think the Egyptian people have lost their trust in the military?
Mona Basel: I think the people lost their trust in the army, even though at the beginning we used to chant in Tahrir square that the military and the citizens are one hand, but after wards they shocked us, you know and they went and electrocuted people in Tahrir square and started breaking up any protests that were being made, so I think the people did loose their trust in the military eventually.
Shady Khalid, an engineering student also has lost his trust.
Shady Khalid: I think that I don’t really trust the military, because we don’t have the feeling of the freedom of speech until now because I have many friends who are still in Tahrir square protesting and stuff like that and some of them are arrested because they are just expressing their ideas and stuff and I don’t think the system had changed a lot because the same people are working and just ignoring the people and ignoring our needs and our hopes of this country to be more good enough to live in.
But others like Yousra El Ghor, a mass communication student are still doubtful.
Yousra EL Ghor: I think the military plays like the role of the devil advocate, its because they say they are with the people but they are not really with the people they take orders from Tantawy and stuff like that and who knows if Mubarak is still empowering Egypt or giving orders to carry out. I think the fact that they say that they are here to protect the people and the citizens and stuff, and that the people get to see them on the streets and that they protect us, that’s a good thing for us but at the same time should we truly trust them? Thank you for paying attention and wait for our new question tomorrow. Good-bye.
