Today, the regime paints a narrative about the chaotic, destructive, mob-like Egyptian people who cannot be trusted. This insidious narrative of chaos and anarchy must not only be rejected but it must be unmasked as a narrative that legitimizes repression that will supposedly save Egypt from its disobedient children. We should expect further attempts by the current regime to fabricate or paint the protests as irresponsible and anarchic. The disappearance of any police force from the country will also stoke fears and images of ‘chaos.‘ Although burning buildings and gunfire produce great images for the media, what is striking about the last few days is the fact that Egyptians have shown great discipline and courage as they express their demands for a real transition to democracy and only defend themselves from tear gas canisters fired into mosques, from water cannons and thugs beating peaceful demonstrators.
