Egyptian Activists Say Their Revolution Remains Unfinished As Egyptians prepare to mark the first anniversary of the revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak, but left them under the rule of his top generals, two activists explained in interviews with The Lede that they plan to protest, not celebrate this Jan. 25. The activists, Gigi Ibrahim, 23, and Mosa'ab Elshamy, 21, are both active bloggers who helped document last year's protests in Cairo by posting video, photographs and text updates on social networks as events unfolded. Ms. Ibrahim, who first spoke to The Lede last January, two days into the uprising - and minutes before the Internet was turned off in a desperate attempt to stifle the protests - says now that she is frustrated by the lack of fundamental change. "Really what we have achieved, " she notes, "was only just to topple Mubarak; we have Mubarak's generals running the country - the SCAF, the military council, the 19 generals who are still killing and are leading counterrevolution. We want them to step out of power, but we understand that they are not going to go out of power easily. Late Tuesday, Ms. Ibrahim wrote on Twitter that she plans to join one of the many protest marches activists have planned for Wednesday. Mr. Elshamy, who was arrested at a protest in May, and given a year's suspended sentence by a military court, agrees that there is still work to be done. He also intends to spend Wednesday marching to Tahrir Square, in part, he says, because, "what I saw in prison made me feel more determined." Unlike Ms. Ibrahim, Mr. Elshamy did not boycott the parliamentary elections organized by the military council in November. Even though the elections were "extremely late" and imperfectly run, he says, the vote was "an extremely important" step in the right direction. All in all, Mr. Elshamy concludes, "I definitely think things, even though they are not much, much better, but they definitely are not worse."
