country for seven weeks but, for the Tahrir faithful, the villains
remained the same.
"But we need to be patient and we don't have time."
"We still have ministers whose money has not been investigated,"
said Maged Abduh, a businessman. "Zakaria Azmi is still working, as
is Fathi Sarour. Why didn't they bring them and ask them about their
money?"
Yet for many in Tahrir, the turnout was cause for hope. The
demonstration's organizers had overcome many hurdles in the
previous days -- in particular, a series of suspiciously widely
distributed, anonymous messages falsely claiming that the
demonstration had been postponed until next week. And although it
fell well short of the "million-man march" that the organizers had
promised, the return of flag-carrying crowds signaled to the military
that the shaab -- the "people" -- remained invested in their revolution.
"It was good to send the message that we can have more protests,
because people think and feel that the process is too slow," said
Abdullah Helmi, a member of the Union of Revolutionary Youth.
The demonstration took place without the participation of the Muslim
Brotherhood, which stood aside despite the pleas of its younger
members. The Brotherhood's Guidance Office claimed that they had
not been informed of the demonstration early enough to make a
decision. They told their youth leaders that they feared a low turnout.
"They have their own way of dealing with the issue," said Muslim
Brotherhood youth leader Islam Lotfi, sounding disappointed.
But Friday's demonstration still leaves Egypt's could-be revolution
searching for a way forward. While liberals and leftists dominated the
square -- at one point, the crowds jeered at a Salafist who took the
stage -- the overwhelming majority seemed to be independents, with
a handful of small, newly forming parties scattered about. They have
no leader or even set of leaders who can channel their demands for a
