![]() Kefaya, which first surfaced in December, has been profiting from a growing wave of dissent recently joined by university students, judges and teachers all urging overdue democratic changes. Demonstrators have been increasingly bold in their calls to lift the state of emergency imposed after the assassination of Mubarak's predecessor, Anwar Sadat, 24 years ago. Kefaya has even dared to publicly ask Mubarak to step down. "Enough", "No to a fifth mandate", "No to Mubarak, his party and his son", are slogans often heard at Kefaya's rallies. |
