However many of the emotions is good for many of the Egyptians toward the State Security Service, and Police Tgault in the Mubarak era, it was the headquarters of the device and the number of police stations within the sites intent demonstrators to express their anger, and perhaps they feel that the fall speed at the end of the system that fell already after 18 days of the start of the revolution Mubarak step down power on February 11 last year.
The transitional period experienced by Egypt since stepped down Mubarak and handed over power to the junta, not without clashes between security forces and demonstrators feel that the police has not changed much and that has a lot of leadership and behaviors that must change, as well as Nqmthm what they saw as an absence intentional or at least failure to is not justified by the police led to the alarming state of lawlessness.
There were major confrontations in the street Mohammed Mahmoud, off Tahrir Square to the Ministry of Interior, after police broke up by force a sit-field on November 19 last, to end up in clashes that lasted several days and killed more than forty people, in addition to the thousands of people, mostly gas bombs and bullets rubber
A different positionIn all the past events is not difficult to follow the events that touch the sympathy on the part of many Egyptians with the demonstrators, who insisted on the face of the police, whether stones or cheering, but it is as appropriated by Alice may change during the current events that erupted after the disaster Stadium Port Said and rallied impact on thousands of protesters to besiege the building of the Ministry of Interior.
Over the last three days, it has not been without ambiguity, Security forces retreated until it became the interdependence in front of the ministry, however, insisted the protesters to come forward and attack the ministry and the security forces with stones indifferent gas bombs used by the security to try to disperse them.
No one knows precisely the identity of most of the participants in the siege of the ministry, especially that none of the political forces and revolutionary - that used to organize demonstrations or call it - did not participate in these events, but most of them said not to support her, calling the demonstrators to return to the field of editing and display demands there.
Remarkably as appropriated by the island revealed that the faces of the surrounding interior look different from those that have been used to demonstrate in Tahrir Square since the beginning of the revolution and even now, as most of them seem angry and agitated and refuses to enter into any discussion about their goals or their demands, which call them to what they are doing.
Calls for calmOn the other hand, hundreds of young revolutionary, backed by public figures tried repeatedly during the past few days to form human shields to try to prevent these young people progress to the ministry building and convince them of the futility of a clash with security, and Tahrir Square is a natural place to demonstrate or protest in order to express their legitimate demands, But they have not achieved little success, despite the continued attempts over the past three days.
Sheikh appearance Shaheen Khatib Mosque of Omar Makram is located in one of the parties to the field of liberation led one of these marches, which was attended by hundreds from the mosque to the streets leading to the building interior, and tried to persuade the demonstrators to return, as the public figures, including lawmakers, and soccer stars former similar attempts.
Alice was a witness to many of the debates between those who call for calm and angry demonstrators, and tried to advocates of truce to inquire of them what Segnouna from attacking the building of the Interior did not find an answer or even the desire for dialogue, but they found a determination to go about building the ministry accused the Security using rubber bullets against them, a insists that the Minister of the Interior so far to deny its occurrence.
Advocates of appeasement base their logic that the Board of the people chosen by the Egyptians shall now deal with it, and there are investigations and commissions of inquiry to make sure that inaction or even complicity of security in the event Stadium Port Said, which sparked the recent events, given that Parliament decided to implement the law of trial of Ministers and Minister of the Interior on these events.
Many of the Egyptian media and even some lawmakers who described those who insist on the siege of the Interior now that they are thugs, not the rebels, and they in turn say they are determined to take revenge of the Interior, who they hold responsible for disaster, Port Said, which killed hundreds of people dead and injured after a football match.
With the failure of all the initiatives, and the renewed clashes, which produces the victims were killed or wounded question remains what will end the existing vicinity of the events of the Ministry of Interior, and before that all of you are behind the rebels, as some believe or thugs backed by the remnants of the Mubarak regime, as others believe.

The Arabs have agreed to impose economic sanctions, but the neighboring countries of Syria is not implemented, which softened the impact.
