Khalil is very optimistic about the prospects for the Egyptian revolution to continue. In this interview he explains why.
We always used to read in books about the permanent revolution but we see it happening in Egypt today. At every stage even before the fall of Mubarak there were those who would say let us stop here, and those who would say let the revolution continue. This will go on between the liberal forces who only talk about political freedoms and elections’ cards. They thank the people and ask them to go home with their LE 300 [cheap hotel apartments], to their wrecked dwellings and broken education. But there are those who say no. The revolution will not stop until it really realizes all of its goals, that is, the restructuring of society for the benefit of the wide majority of the people.
