Why are people protesting in Egypt?

Answer 1

Several reasons. They feel the police have too much authority and give the citizens fewer civil rights. The police are known to beat citizens on a regular basis. The minimum wage is at $6 and has been for 27 years. There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and all of the income going into the country is going to the rich. Food prices are really high. Their president Mubarak has used corrupt methods to keep himself in power, so he's been their president for 30 years, and he's at a point where he really isn't doing anything about stuff that needs to be taken care of. It all boils down to the citizens being sick of their lazy president.

Answer 2

Grievances for Egyptian protesters have focused on legal and political issues[16] including police brutality,[12] state of emergency laws,[12] lack of free elections and free speech,[17] and corruption,[17] as well as economic issues including high unemployment,[18] food price inflation,[18] and low minimum wages.[12][18] Demands from protest organizers included rights of freedom and justice, the end of the Hosni Mubarak regime, and a new government that represents the interests of the Egyptian people.[19]
