For the first time since the revolution, this Friday will see a national consensus, said a group of politicians, journalists and writers. Despite the division in stated demands and priorities, Egypt is at a critical stage and everyone must put national interests first, they said. Journalist Helmy Nimnim said in an interview with the evening talk show '10PM' that what happened in Duwaiqa recently cost many of the slum's dwellers their fundamental human rights at the hands of the former regime. He added that the recent events show supporters of the former regime are trying to subvert the revolution. The turnot for tomorrow's demonstration in Tahrir Square will be large, he predicted, as most political forces have decided to participate. Tomorrow's demonstrations represent a final attempt to rectify the mistakes of the revolution, said Tarek Ghazali Harb. Remnants of the former regime who are still in positions of power are exploiting the fragmentation of political groups, which should note this, he added. Mahmoud Nafady, deputy editor of Al-Gomhorreya newspaper, said Egypt's January 25 revolution occurred spontaneously and did not achieve its objectives due to the lack of structure. He said the Muslim Brotherhood's participation would provide balance due to their insistence on unifying slogans and demands. Dr. Ahmed Diab, prominent Muslim Brotherhood leader, said the next demonstration would be a return to the original spirit of national unity in Tahrir. He added that all those protesting should strive for consensus and not heed individual difference in order for the revolution to continue and achieve its ends.
