Egyptian protesters' list of demands
Following are the demands of the Egyptian anti-government protesters.
The Associated Press
Following are the demands of the Egyptian anti-government protesters.
- The movement began with an Internet call for "freedom, dignity and democracy."
- The top demand in eight days of protests has been the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak and no transfer of power to his son, Gamal.
They then have a sequential list of demands.
- First, their representatives will negotiate with the military only after Mubarak's departure. They reject negotiations with the new vice president, Omar Suleiman, the former intelligence chief and army general. However, some might be willing to talk with Suleiman if Mubarak steps down. Many consider Suleiman tainted because he was appointed by Mubarak
- They want negotiations on a transitional period during which the constitution will be rewritten to set term limits on the presidency, among other changes.
- They then want free and fair elections for a president and new parliament.
