• Mubarak's hometown in search of stability

"He didn't give me my opinion to choose him or to choose anyone in Egypt's by-elections or anything. He only chose what he wanted. He didn't give us our rights. We suffered too much......"

"We used to have goodwill toward President Mubarak, but the situation was getting worse day after day. He was getting worse day by day. And so people's demands increased. That's why the revolution happened,"

"He was impervious to the feelings of the people. And he seemed to look down on them, to look down on their aspirations, to look down on their hopes," .....

"He was surrounded by mediocrity and he always gave preference to those in whom he could guarantee loyalty and not necessarily merit... It was a great kind of cronyism that you had which bred, of course, corruption, which bred hatred towards his whole regime."
