Pembangkang gesa rakyat Mesir terus berdemonstrasi di jalanan

KAHERAH: Sebuah kumpulan pembangkang menggesa rakyat Mesir meneruskan bantahan jalanan buat hari kedua, selepas berpuluh ribu penduduk negara itu mengadakan perhimpunan di seluruh negara membantah pemerintahan Presiden Hosni Mubarak sejak 30 tahun lalu.

Sumber perubatan dan saksi berkata sekurang-kurangnya empat orang termasuk seorang rekrut polis terbunuh, manakala beratus-ratus lagi cedera dalam tunjuk perasaan semalam bagi menyatakan bantahan terhadap masalah kemiskinan, penindasan dan mendesak Mubarak meletak jawatan.


Seramai 200 penunjuk perasaan turut ditahan. Kumpulan belia prodemokrasi yang dinamakan sebagai Pergerakan 6 April yang membuat gesaan itu, meminta semua penduduk menuju ke medan utama di Kaherah, beberapa jam selepas polis melepaskan gas pemedih mata ke atas beribu-ribu penunjuk perasaan bagi menyuraikan mereka.

“Semua orang perlu menuju ke Medan Tahrir untuk mengambil alih tempat itu sekali lagi,” kata kumpulan itu menerusi laman sosial Facebook, yang bersama laman Twitter, membantu menganjurkan tunjuk perasaan itu.

Dalam satu kenyataan berasingan kumpulan itu menggesa rakyat Mesir meneruskan tunjuk perasaan.

“Bagi meneruskan apa yang kita mulakan 25 Januari lalu, kita akan berhimpun di jalan raya bagi menuntut hak untuk hidup, mempunyai kebebasan, maruah dan kami juga meminta semua orang berbuat demikian dan meneruskannya sehingga tuntutan kita dipenuhi,” kata kumpulan itu.
Tunjuk perasaan semalam yang dikenali sebagai ‘Hari Kebangkitan’ dicetuskan daripada tunjuk perasaan yang dilakukan rakyat Tunisia bagi menggulingkan Presiden Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali.

Tunjuk perasaan itu disifatkan yang terbesar pernah diadakan sejak bantahan umum membabitkan subsidi roti mengejutkan negara paling padat penduduk di wilayah Arab itu pada 1977.

Di sebalik kawalan oleh kira-kira 20,000 hingga 30,000 polis, beribu-ribu penunjuk perasaan berarak ke Medan Tahrir semalam sambil melaungkan kata-kata ‘rakyat mahu rejim yang ada disingkirkan’ ‘Jatuhkan Mubarak’ dan ‘Berambus Mubarak’.

Sementara itu satu kenyataan yang dikeluarkan kementerian dalam negeri Mesir lewat semalam menyatakan, pasukan keselamatan memutuskan untuk memberi kebenaran kepada penunjuk perasaan untuk menyuarakan tuntutan dan kebebasan untuk bersuara’ dengan komitmen untuk tidak mengganggu perhimpunan’.

Kementerian itu berkata sekumpulan penunjuk perasaan, ‘terutama kumpulan besar yang bergabung dengan Ikhwanul Muslimin, memulakan tunjuk perasaan, memusnahkan harta benda awam dan melempar batu ke arah polis. – AFP

In Yemen, tens of thousands march against president

Demonstrators angry over unemployment and oppression under President Ali Abdullah Saleh demand political change. The unrest worries the U.S., which has been working with the government to defeat an Al Qaeda offshoot.

Reporting from Cairo and Beirut —
The current unrest in the Middle East spread to impoverished Yemen on Thursday as tens of thousands of protesters angry over unemployment and political oppression marched in the capital against President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Instability in Yemen is a major concern for Washington, which has been working with Saleh's government to defeat an entrenched Al Qaeda offshoot that claimed responsibility for last year's attempted bombings of planes over U.S. airspace. Officials fear anarchy in the country would give militants a strategic base in the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa.

Saleh, who has ruled Yemen for 32 years, has been unable to stem unemployment and improve education, healthcare and sanitation in the region's poorest nation. Anger toward him and his government has been steadily growing, especially among young activists and tribal leaders. He has also faces an intensifying secessionist movement in the south.

The U.S. has expanded its intelligence and security roles in the country, and American military aid is expected to reach at least $250 million this year, a major increase from previous years. But Washington has long been wary of Saleh, who runs a government based on patronage networks and has a history making questionable deals with enemies, including Islamic militants, who years ago were tolerated.

"I saw many, many people today, in the thousands," said Ahmed Arman, a human rights lawyer in the capital, Sana. "There were four demonstrations and they were organized by the opposition. The majority of the demonstrators were young people, but there were others there as well. They're calling for political change, a complete reform of the political system."

The demonstrations unfolded as the region brimmed with anger and frustration that have sparked protests against authoritarian rulers in Tunisia and Egypt. Some Yemeni protesters joked that Saleh should "go the way" of former Tunisian President Zine el Abidine ben Ali, who fled his country Jan. 14 after a popular uprising.

"I helped the students in organizing sit-ins after the Tunisian revolt," Tawakul Karman, a Yemeni activist recently released from jail after organizing demonstrations, told The Times. "There have been daily protests in Sana. I was arrested for a day because of the demonstrations and let out yesterday. The student protests will for sure continue."

Yemen is a "democratic multi-party country that allows people to express their views in accordance with the related laws," Interior Minister Mutaher al-Masri was quoted as saying by the country's Saba news agency. "We do not need chaos that harms public security and abuses democracy."

The protests took place on a day of rival rallies between opposition parties and government loyalists. Yemeni journalist Nasser Arrabyee reported on his website:

"No violence, or riot cases were noticed, but security measures were exceptional in the city as anti-riot forces were deployed in almost all the places close to the rallies," he said. "However, these rallies are not new, not strange. Both sides have been holding similar rallies over the last two weeks in the provinces outside Sana."

Mohammed al-Basha, a spokesman for the Yemeni Embassy in Washington, said in a statement: "We are pleased to announce that no major clashes or arrests occurred, and police presence was minimal."
