As they all ruled Egypt according to their personal interested amid more disasters, negligence and bloodshed of Egyptian youth."

The group called on citizens and political powers to stage mass rallies across Egypt on Friday, January 25, the second anniversary of the uprising under the slogans (Revolution...Bread 'live-hood'...Freedom...Social Justice) and (The people want to overthrow the regime).
