    Dream Tv, the first Egyptian Tv Channel that starts to rebel as they accuse the government of pressuring them to say that the demonstrators are a small group of Muslim radicals.

    One of the most famous TV hosts in Egypt , Mahmoud Saad, is given an open vacation by the government as he implied yesterday that he supports demonstrators.

    Tonight, Reuters said from Al-Sallum that 30 policemen were injured after the people there attacked the police. This is a damatic development as this city is so far. It is on the Libyan borders.

    For those who do not know Egypt geography, I'm attaching here the Egypt map with red circles around the cities where the most violent clashes took place so far. Suez city is still the city that suffered the most so far as at least 4 were killed there.

    A Syrian channel has just started to show photos and songs to encourage people in Egypt to continue their revolution.

    The channel is called Arrai.

    Ah, I see what you mean. I thought it was weird and random but it would make sense that extremists are taking advantage of the situation to win support.

    Yeah, but people like the spare change of criminals. Worked for Colombia under Escobar, and it's working for Mexico under the narcos.

    Huge protests in Egypt right now.

    Mobile phones and internet are stopped totally.

    I hope Egyptians will pass this day without casualties to freedom.
