    From the Guardian:

    al-Jazeera just showed pictures of protesters jumping and cheering beside what appeared to be an army armoured vehicle in Cairo with the occupants in the vehicle not responding in any kind of negative fashion. It's too early to get carried away but al-Jazeera was suggesting this could be a sign that the army's allegiance is with the people.

    From Guardian:

    Egyptian state media is reporting a curfew starting at 6pm tonight (about 30 minutes away) and running until 7am tomorrow in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez.
    The way it's looking on the streets at the moment suggests there is little chance of people obeying the order and what can the police actually do to enforce it.

    In two minutes the curfew will start.

    CNN: Mubarak will speak to the people soon.

    It will really really have a major impact throughout the middle-east. Egypt is pretty much the biggest country in this part of the world.

    The future in this region is in the balance.

    From the Guardian:

    Al-Jazeera is showing some great live footage of the looting of the National Democratic Party headquarters – and is reporting that the protesters are forming a "human shield" around the nearby national museum.

    This is probably BS but supposedly Israeli media is reporting that Mobarak has fled to Switzerland.

    There have already been reports that some prominent businessmen and some government officials are leaving the country in private jets.

    Serbian Media: CAIRO - Egyptian troops in, where President Mubarak ordered the monitoring of the curfew was introduced because of the anti-government protests on the side of protesters greeting them with two fingers raised in victory signs.

    On some tanks demonstrators riding along with soldiers and police officers shake hands with the people on the streets, reports AFP. Egyptian news agency Mena withdrew evening news on the introduction of a curfew in the entire country, which was previously issued state television.


    Is too early for victory:)

    US media is sucking dicks once again. Talking about the "fight against terrorism".

    Fuck off, a dictator is a dictator, just because he "fights terror" doesn't make him good or just or unable to be overthrown when the people decide they've had enough.

    He did make a reference to them, saying something like suppressing idea does not get rid of them.
