I'd like to start my article by consolidating the families of those who died in the massacre of Portsaid, may their souls rest in peace and may they be martyrs.
I'd also like to address those who said it's a normal thing, starting with normal people on the street up to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, saying that what happened was nothing less than a massacre, by all measures and all means this is a disaster compared to any football incident across history.
Take for example when an English club was playing against another European club (I don't remember the names because I'm not a hug fan of football, but the incident was mentioned across media and books) and a part of the stadium fell off, it killed round 38 or 40 people, I'm talking about a part of stadium falling off not a fight between some Ultras and Football fans!
When 2 Italian football clubs played against either other, one of them was from Napoli, the clashes killed 18 people, not 75 and still counting!
And with the magnitude of the disaster, with all the pain that the families of the martyrs are suffering, you find people like the so-called "Shiek Khaled Abdullah" blaming families for allowing their kids to go to the football match, that person dared to blame the father of Anas Hassan (a 14 years old kid who died in the event) saying he, the father, should be put on trial for ill-parenting.
But I'm not astounded by such a low level of thinking, he was the same person who asked "why do girls go to Tahrir to protest?" on the famous incident of army troops stripping a female protester half-naked and insinuated some low accusation to a girl. He started off by that question and one day, though I hope it never happens, he'll ask "why do people go out of their homes and go to schools or work?". He's an example of not blaming SCAF even if he's clearly mistaken.
And yes, SCAF should be blamed. Not only because it represents the highest form of authority in the country, but also due to their poor management of the problem. Starting with the ill-statements of Tantawi which in some form was asking the people to take their rights by their own hands, showing a great disregard to the effect of such call which,if followed by people, would cause some sort of civil war, ending with how the martyrs were treated and the situation handled.
Up to this moment of writing this article there are people who still don't know where their children are, dead bodies are being treated with such disrespect to the dead that a parent speaks about finding his son's dead body under a hospital's stair-case!
Further ill management of the situation can be clearly seen in the slow reaction that should be taken against Security Director in Portsaid district and the governor, that even when the Security Director was moved they said it was because of "health issues" rather than some sort of punishment to what he did.
Provocation still persists when the protesters protesting in-front of Ministry of interior were attacked by police, birdshots and enormous amounts of tear gas was used, any try to stop the violence was met by either attacking people who are starting to start a cease-fire or "stop violence" initiative to breaking the truce 5 minutes after agreeing to start one, and of course the police can't be acting in such a brutal way without at least a green light from SCAF.
You start,after all of that, to really wonder how strong and capable the SCAF is to run the country.
After a year of the revolution, not a single verdict in a single case was issued against those who are accused to kill protesters, except for "Not Guilty" of course, despite videos showing those "Not Guilty" police officers shooting protesters!
A year after the revolution, we still don't know where the survivors of "Alsalam 98" ferry are, who were arrested and detained by the government to cover up the incidents and to prevent them from speaking to public, the thing that would have condemned the owner of the ferry, a supporter of Mubarak regime back then.
Even the owner of "Albadr" Ship who is still looking for his crew after they were stopped by Israeli navy after being accused of smuggling weapons to Gaza and were given to the Egyptian Army.
So many things could have happened in a year but held back because of SCAF, assuming they're people of good intention and not trying to restore the regime that was standing during the era of Mubarak, this indicates a great weakness in running a country.
In the end,I say I agree with the solution proposed by Essam Sultan of forming a government from the parliament majority (Freedom Justice party), if they don't want to then another party should form one, or a coalition from all parties should be made, supported by majority. And Elbaradei's solution of electing a temporary president from civilians who would have a year term to form a constitution and lay down basis of democracy, armed with legitimacy he'll be able to act a lot faster and with more power than the shaky hands of 70+ years old generals of SCAF.
