أكثر من عامين على بداية الثورة ولاتزال دولة القمع والظلم تحكم. تتغير الوجوه وتبقى الانتهاكات والقمع والاعتداء والتعذيب والاعتقال والظلم. لم يعاقب أي فرد من أفراد الشرطة على مقتل واصابة آلاف المتظاهرين،ولم تتخذ الحكومة أي اجراءات لتطهير او اعادة هيكلة وزارة الداخلية، لم يقف أي مسؤول عسكري أمام القانون ليحاسب على اي من المذابح التي ارتكبها المجلس العسكري، بل كرم الرئيس مرسي المشير طنطاوي ومنحه قلادة النيل، لم تتوقف الدولة عن قمع العمال ولم تتحقق أي من مطالب الشعب في حياة كريمة أو عدالة اجتماعية.

ليه الشغب؟

Two years after the start of the January 25 revolution we still riot because the ruling elite still exploit us, because the police still torture, maim and kill us and none of them are brought to justice.

Why "riot"?

In Alexandria, five days before
the second anniversary of the revolution

the friends and relatives of the martyrs waited
for justice to be done

in the retrials of those who had kiiled
demonstrators.

The retrials and justice for the martyrs were amongst the
most important promises

made by Morsi to the revolution after he won elections.

On January 19, take two:

the accused officers were all acquitted,

acquittals for the assassins and murderers.

For two years now, the regime has been
listening and ignoring.

"We won't forget Tahrir you sons of bitches,

for you the revolution was a disaster."

The regime doesn't want retribution or justice to be carried out.

But we will make it happen:

retribution and justice.

This year nobody went out to celebrate
the revolution.

Instead we went out to finish what we started
in January 2011.

Jika!

High School student,

Murderered by the police,

Shot with bullets

In his eye and head.

Jika!

There's no food.

Muslim Brothers, liars all!

You tricked us in the name of religion!

My son,
my darling son...

We came out because we had no other choice

in dealing with a regime that
imprisons, tortures and murders our revolution

while honoring and protecting
those who oppress, kill and exploit.

Why are prices skyrocketing day after day
while our wages stay the same?

"I want bread to eat..."

Why has no offical been held accountable
for all the railway accidents?

Why is the army stealing people's land

and killing them in Qursaya and elsewhere?

My brother raised his hands, why did they shoot him?

[The Martyr Muhammad Abd Al-Mawgud's brother]
I want to know right now,

how can the president of this country
order them to attack the people!

Why are Safwat al-Sherif and Isma'il al-Sha'ir
scott-free?

Why do the security forces target children,

lock them up and torture them?

It means that there's no justice
under this kind of regime.

People didn't just go out to Tahrir Square.

The provinces were also raging:

Violence breeds violence.

But the regime's violence is not the same as
revolutionary violence.

Since the Friday of Rage [January 28th, 2011],

we had to respond to the long years of
state violence and repression

with revolutionary counter-violence.

If we hadn't set fire to the police stations
and humiliated the Interior Ministry,

there wouldn't have been a revolution
in the first place.

The people demand the fall of the Brothers!

We went to the presidential palace
to demonstrate

against a new dictator.

-Morsi, Murderer-

You are the new National Democratic party!

Shave your beard, show your true colors,

Your face is the same as Mubarak's!

The people demand the fall of the regime!

We're the youth of January 25!

We've taken to the street and we're not leaving!

And after the regime sent its Brotherhood
militias to attack protestors

this was the response of one citizen called Saedeya,

You fight us everywhere and kill us
with birdshot and live ammunition.

You maim and kill and in the end you say,
'it wasn't us'?

'It was provocateurs hiding
amongst the revolutionaries'?'

They want to ride the wave, and rule us
as they please,

and use the Constitution as a fig-leaf?

We're the ones who'll give Morsi orders,
he works for us!

We're the ones who put him power,
we elected him,

and we'll get rid of him just as easily
as we elected him.

The regime is playing with everything
at its disposal:

soccer, religion, sex,
anything to drive us apart and make them stronger.

Is justice even possible under a regime
built on oppression?

We don't just want to depose Morsi,

just like we didn't only want to depose Mubarak.

We don't want their Brothers,
or their National Salvation Front

or their regime with its parties, elections
and candidates.

We don't want their police or their military.

Change doesn't mean a cabinet shake-up.

Nor is change defined by elections.

Violence is not the aim.

Revolutionary violence confronts a broken justice.
