Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today (23 Viewers)
- Thread starter ReBeL
- Start date
With strikes expected over the next couple of days including a major hit to Egypts tourism industry...if this continues something has to change. Things can only go two ways - - either the army/police go wild on the crowd (unlikely considering the numbers) or Mubarak steps down.
The people have not backed down an inch. They're out in more numbers today than yesterday and they're completely fearless. So I'm optimistic.

Unrest spreading to Saudi Arabia now, too.

Extremely proud of the Egyptian people, cant state that enough, very admirable for them to step up in unison. Hopefully it continues and with as little violence as possible.
Its been weird seeing trashed streets filled with insane amount of people marching, when I recall being on some of those streets in quite different scenery (the big market street).
Something odd going on with the phone landlines btw, not sure, I know they took down cell phone service and internet, but calling home phones of relatives/cousin of mine, and cant get hold of them at all (though small children and their mother, so not worried they were out on the streets). And my mother called other family we know over there, and some egyptian people answered the phone, bit weird stuff.
