The Demands of the People of the Sinai

Four of the tribes of the Sinai Peninsula are coming together at a conference to agree and communicate their demands of the Egyptian Government.

Their demands are as follows:

1. immediate and unconditional release of all detainees
2. cancellation of all sentences that were fabricated in absentia
3. prosecution of the perpetrators of murder and torture crimes against the people of Sinai
4. prevention of indiscriminate killings
5. prevention of taking women, children and elderly hostages
6. granting ownership of land for the people of Sinai
7. cancellation of the interests of the Agricultural Credit and Development Bank
8. respect for the customs and traditions of the people of Sinai.

It would be very wise to take an active approach towards negotiating and delivering to those demands or the future of Sinai's stability and in turn Egypt's will be at stake.
