Amal Sharaf is a cofounder of the April Sixth Youth, a group that played an important part in bringing people to the streets on Jan. 25. Now, the group is finding it harder to convince people to return to the streets. Many Egyptians are tired of protests and yearn for stability. April Sixth has also faced a smear campaign from the military rulers.
Ms. Sharaf says the military “hijacked” the revolution. Winning it back will take getting the population on the side of the revolutionaries, she says. “If people are strong enough to continue, I don’t think it will take a long time. If not – it will take years,” she says. But she’s willing to fight as long as it takes. “We’re staying until they give up.”
