There was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. ~ Exodus 7:21
The fifth faction is the army. The generals have all been made wealthy by corruption. The rank and file are not thugs but regular, everyday Egyptians. So far, the soldiers have refused to fire on the protesters but they have followed the orders of their generals and not protected the people from the pro-Mubarak hooligans.
Eventually, the soldiers will have to decide - do they obey their generals and attack the masses or do they side with the Egyptian people and attack their generals?

Mubarak's government has made the rich poorer through taxation; and has made the poor richer.
The Muslim Brotherhood has always worked for MI6 and the CIA.
The army is split into factions; the CIA-Mossad-NATO faction wants to topple Mubarak and advance the agenda of Israel and the Pentagon.
Israel supports the toppling of Mubarak; Israel wants to grab the Sinai.
