The SCAF showed everyone to what side of the conflict they were on: they didn't give these demands to the masses, but instead attacked them. The November uprising was met with a brutal, savage and inexcusable thuggery, all done by the SCAF generals and their loyal officers, and all done as a means of keeping the Egyptian masses down.
In Australia, in Melbourne, we organised this protest to occur outside of the Egyptian offices, whereby we showed our total and unflinching support and solidarity for those protesters who called for an end to the SCAF government, for we will always stand on the side of freedom, democracy, egalitarianism and justice. An Australian socialist, from the group Socialist Alternative, spoke at the protest. There were also chants and songs in support of the protests, done in Arabic. The Egyptian diplomats had to come down to speak to us, and it was clear from their carefully selected words that they were sitting on the fence on the major issues that the country was facing, and they were refusing which side of the conflict to side with; it's an outrage that they didn't side with the masses of people whom they claim to represent in their diplomatic positions.
