Notes
“18 Days...The Last Days of the Mubarak Regime” is a book by Abdul Latif Al-Manawi, former head of the news sector. Its Arabic edition was issued simultaneously with the English edition on January 25 by the Egyptian Lebanese Publishing House, in 460 medium-sized pages. The book reveals many of the secrets and behind-the-scenes surrounding the decision-making process during the days of the glorious January Revolution, and the role of all the active parties in the event at the official level, on Egyptian television, satellite channels, the presidential palace, and some private newspapers, in an attempt to control the crisis. Even Mubarak’s speech on the night of the Battle of the Camel, its main points were prepared by a journalist and broadcaster on a private channel. There are major roles for some businessmen and some writers, and we thought they were staunch opponents of Hosni Mubarak and his regime, but they were By opposing him, they are looking for a way out for him, and in each of these participating names, the reader will find details of his participation and role. The chapters of the book continue, beginning with January 25, and what happened before January 25, in terms of meetings at the highest level, and how did those managing the crisis downplay the nature of the demonstrations and the nature of the demonstrators, and the book continues to list the details, and whether there are foreign forces working in Tahrir or not? What are the plans to storm the television building, how were they dealt with, and what are the alternative solutions in the event that the official broadcast falls? The book tells the true story of the delay in broadcasting the resignation statement - on Friday, February 11, 2011 - and Major General Ismail Etman, Head of Morale Affairs in the Armed Forces, was waiting for the broadcast signal in Al-Manawi’s office. After Suzanne Mubarak boarded the plane on her way to Sharm El-Sheikh, she quickly descended: “As it turned out later, Suzanne Mubarak refused to leave the villa for more than three hours, as she collapsed from the impact of intense grief over losing the life she was accustomed to as the world collapsed. Those around her were beyond her ability to endure, as she was found collapsed on the ground, crying and unable to control herself or stand on her feet. But the soldiers broke the protocol and found her in the villa, and she was on the ground surrounded by all her jewelry and memories. Al-Manawi continues to narrate the true facts of Suzanne’s last moments in the villa. As the guards came to help her stand, she leaned on the shoulder of a young officer, as they carried her into the house, and she was wet. Her tears ran down their shoulders as she picked up her belongings that were close to her heart, and in her intense sadness she kept repeating over and over again without stopping: “They had a reason.” The full story is in the final chapter of the book, which records the most precise moments in this family’s journey with governance and politics in Egypt - Al-Bawaba website - Literature and Culture.
