Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today (5 Viewers)

[Byrone]

I don't get your question, mate.

You need a million or more people for a march to be considered a million man march, reports stated that only 200 000 people arrived for it.

exactly.

Therefore, for the well being of the people its essential for them to not give in right now.

Seemed odd to me. His speech that is. He can't keep this up, he'll eventually leave or be removed.

What is the position of the Muslim Brotherhood? Are they willing to allow free elections if Mubarak is finally forced out?

He will be removed by Friday, I guess. Muslim Brothers are so overrated as they did not participate in these demonstrations seriously. IMO, they will not win any elections if logic is there as they never contributed in this revolution in a real way.

Aha. Well, I'm not in a place that gives me the right to give a specific number of the crowds who are in Tahreer square. Some sources like Aljazeera said that the number was more than one million but the number does not matter IMO as everybody know that the majority do not want him at all.

Yes. They have to keep on.

From Guardian:

"People were bursting with hostility, many people held up their shoes in the air, which is, as you probably know, is one of the gravest insults you can show people in Arab culture, and as he announced that he would not be running in the September elections many of those shoes were hurled at the screen."

Armed gangs just started to attack demonstrators in Alexandria.

Clashes are taking place now on Aljazeera live.

 

[ReBeL]

From Guardian:

There are two tanks on the scene and no police, and the images are of men hurling stones and much running. A tank is slowly circling between two groups of pro and anti Mubarak protesters, it seems, trying to herd one group back but it isn't doing much good.

More gunfire can clearly be heard, in the air it seems, assuming it's the army that is doing the shooting. Al-Jazeera's correspondent on the scene in Alexandria said she had to duck when the burst of gunfire went off.

The violence seemed to break out about 10 minutes ago, sparking scenes of panic.

Fuckin A! All of a sudden everyone feels the need to watch Al Jazeera online. They're servers seem to be overloaded. It all coincided with clashes between pro & anti-govt protestors which they were showing and had a good view of surprisingly.

There is a big war between Aljazeera and Mubarak right now. There is no trust in any other channel by Arabs right now. That is why there is no other way to follow Aljazeera other than online for those who don't have any satellite but Nilesat.

The White House has announced that President Obama is to give a statement on Egypt within the hour, live from the White House's grand foyer.

The White House says Obama watched Mubarak's speech in the Situation Room, during a meeting with his foreign policy team.

Obama: "Democracy, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom of the press are all good and well. When it's to our interest we'll invade a country to give it this gift but in Egypt it's ok to have a dictator for 30 years who denies his people these rights because that's in our interest"

Breaking news from Port Said city:

Aljazeera: The army withdraws from the area where demonstrators are located, and directly after that, civilian gangs armed with knives and swords attack demonstrators.

That's not true. There is no meaningful democracy over there, Obama is just another in a series of puppets.

Holy shit! That sounds terrible!

From Guardian:

The violence in Alexadria is happening in Mahatit Masr Square, the square near the main railway station. Things seem to have quietened down, but al-Jazeera's correspondent says the crowd on the square can be heard to be chanting "We want Mubarak" – suggesting a pro-Mubarak presence.

In the US?

 

[Fake Melo]

Shit! This is going to be a slobberknocker. Civil-war indeed.

 

[Martin]

In the US?

As if you didn't know it.

 

[Zé Tahir]

lol it's so classic of corrupt regimes to pay people to take the streets and chant how awesome they are. I hope people aren't falling for that shit.

As if you didn't know it.

I guess but you say this as if there is only one way of implementing democracy.
