The Aftermath
Good steps
�After Mubarak stepped down the army took over, they dissolved the two
houses, suspended the constitution, formed a committee to amend the
constitution
�They announced that they are there for 6 months until a democratic and
transparent elections of the two houses and the president occur
�They retained the last cabinet of Mubarak to run day to day activities.
�They began discussion with the representatives of the revolutionarygroup
�They asked the General Prosecutor to prosecute the minister s and other
business people and public figures who are incriminated with the old
regime in corruption
Worrisome steps�The new committee to review and amend constitution is not what the
youth asked for and does not include women
�There is now a witch hunt and a sense of vindictiveness that does not
reflect the air of the revolutionaries
�Too many disruptions by rif rat, angry mobs, second wave of vandalism
�Police lost credibility and there is no police now in the country

the future ?Fir st revolutionaries and activists:

parties, not CSOs and not human right
groups

negotiating with the army on future action� They are using the same media tools and
channels to create the groups around their

Specific Recommendations for the
future leaders by women groups� 30-50% of your
member ship and your
leader ship positions
should be for women� Ensure that your
decisions are based on a
real assessment of the
situation of all citizens in
this country ; whether women, or Christians
� That Egypt will be built
by both women and men.
