聰明抗議 埃及「指南手冊」指引

埃及人民在18天內就推翻了獨裁政府，取得了民主革命的勝利，讓全世界人為之震撼。埃及人是如何取得這場勝利的呢？最近在媒體曝光的「埃及抗議指南手冊」，可以讓我們發現，埃及民眾在這場抗議中是如何運用自己的聰明才智的。

最近在網路上曝光了一組「埃及抗議指南手冊」。據說，埃及民主革命的倡議者們在舉行示威的前夕，就已經為埃及民眾製作好了「抗議指南」，對如何進行抗議做了策略規劃。

我們來看這一張：如何聰明的抗議。在這張指南中發布了重要信息：Twitter和Facebook已經遭到監視。

在「埃及人民的需求」這一張指南中，明確提出了：穆巴拉克及其部長政權下臺，終止《緊急法案》，要自由、公正。

而在「公民反抗的戰略目標」中，提出了要佔領政府重要建築，爭取警察和軍隊站在人民的一邊，在革命中保護我們的兄弟姐妹。

這一系列抗議指南手冊中，還規劃了計畫方案、必要服裝和物品、物品使用方法、標語示範以及教導你如何發布、重播這些信息。

今天的開羅「解放廣場」與當年89年北京民主運動「天安門廣場」一樣。為什麼天安門民主運動失敗了呢？是不是中國民眾不如埃及人聰明呢？

前89民運學生領袖封從德認為，中國的民主運動僅停留在「改革」和「維權」上，沒有像埃及民眾那樣，直截了當的提出「要穆巴拉克政權下臺」。

封從德：「就是因為你沒有那個方向，所以你就根本走不到那裡。錢雲會的事情一樣，你要是真的是反對派的思路不是簡單的‘維權’，上來就是改變這個政體的話，錢雲會的事件就會是一個爆炸性的導火索。」

中文媒體時事評論員蘭述則認為，埃及革命是沒有領袖的革命，雖然沒有領袖，但卻有清晰的理念。

蘭述：「如果這些埃及人想，穆巴拉克政權完蛋了怎麼辦？沒人來管我們了，會不會全國一片混亂啊？那今天穆巴拉克就不會下臺。」

蘭述表示，中國的民主運動長期被一個理論困擾，就是中國推行民主的條件不成熟，中國沒有了共產黨就會亂。他認為，推行民主，在任何國家，都不存在成熟不成 熟的問題，推行民主也不需要任何條件。埃及人民發動民主革命，不會去想穆巴拉克下臺後埃及怎麼辦，想的只是從專制統治者手中討回被剝奪的權利，所以埃及的 民主革命就勝利了。

埃及總統穆巴拉克下臺後，埃及逐漸走向民主化進程。埃及軍方不僅宣布解散議會修改憲法，並將在6個月後舉行總統和議會選舉。埃及總理沙菲克（Ahmed Shafiq）20號則表示，埃及還將釋放200多名政治犯。


How Egyptians Wisely Used the Protest Guides to Triumph in the Democratic Movement

Egyptian people overthrew the despotic government
and succeeded in the democratic movement in 18 days,
which has shocked the world.
How did Egyptians secure the victory?
The Egyptian Protest Guide recently exposed
allows us to see how they used their wisdom
in the protests.

Recently, a series of Egyptian protest guides has been
put online. It is said that prior to demonstrations,
advocates of the Egyptian democratic movement
had already prepared the protest guides for people,
detailing the strategic plan.

Let’s look at one of the instructions:
How to Protest Intelligently.
There was updated Information in it:
Twitter and Facebook were monitored.

In another one: the Demands of the Egyptian People,
it clearly stated the downfall of Mubarak regime,
cessation of Emergency Law, freedom and justice.

In the 「Strategic Goals of Civil Disobedience,」
it states to take over important government buildings,
to win over police and army to the side of people, and
to protect our brothers and sisters in revolution.

The guides also gave steps to carry out the plan,
necessary clothing, accessories and their use,
and how to print and distribute important information.

Today’s Tahrir Square in Cairo is similar to 1989’s
Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
Why did Tiananmen democratic movement fail?
Is it because Chinese are not as intelligent
as Egyptian people?

Feng Congde, ex-student leader in 1989 said,
unlike Egyptian democratic movement that
clearly required the downfall of Mubarak,
Chinese movement only requested 「reform」 and
「safeguarding the rights.」

Feng: You did not go in that direction,
so you wouldn’t get there.
Take for example the Qian Yunhui incident,
If people, instead of protecting their rights,
demand a change of government,
Qian’s case could be fuse for explosion.

Chinese commentator Lan Shu said,
Egyptian revolution is a movement without leadership,
but with a clear goal.

Lan Shu: If the Egyptians asked what would
the country be if Mubarak government fell?
Is there anybody to take care of us?
Would the country be in turmoil?
Then, Mubarak would still be in power.

Lan Shu said, Chinese democratic movement is
hindered by the thinking that the conditions for
democracy are immature in China and
without the CCP, China would be in turmoil.
He said, in any country, there is no such an issue as
condition maturity to promote democracy.
To promote democracy is unconditioned.
Before Egyptians launched the revolution,
they did not think what the country would be
if Mubarak fell.
They only needed to think how to obtain their rights
that were deprived by Mubarak.
Doing so, the Egyptians have succeeded.

After Mubarak’s downfall,
Egypt progresses towards democracy.
Egyptian military dissolved the parliament, began to
revise the Constitution, and scheduled the elections
in June.
Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq also announced
on Feb. 20 to release over 200 political prisoners.
