pray for our egyptian brothers ladies and gentlemen

As the entire country protests and riots against the Government and has plans to stop, Egypt Government in a last ditch effort to stop any media from leaving the country of whats actually happening, has shut off the internet, as well as mobile outlets.

People were literally tweeting as they died from police brutality, as well as while being arrested.

So far, Al Jazeera had been the only media source successfully covering this for the people, however with the entire country being blacked out, I believe they are not being allowed in the country as well.

Its chaos down there, and I'm not seeing to much attention brought to it, so I figured I'd let you guys know.

Some random updates from the riots.

Riots successfully took over a Police Station.

Easily over 1000 people detained.

Rioters ran over by tank.

?????????? ??????? - Public Figure | Facebook?

This is a facebook page where everyone uploaded their pics and videos of the rioting.

Yemen has begun its own protesting, seeing Egypt rise up against corruption, and is demanding their President step down. Shit could get very nasty there very quick.

Disturbing reports of a massacre at the coastal town of Suez, in Egypt, are coming through Raw Story and the Egyptian Association for Change USA.
From what we can ascertain, the whole city is on lock-down with a complete media blackout. Journalists from Al Jazeera and other reputable media outlets have been prevented from getting any where near Suez...

Suspected Massacre in Suez, Egypt – Activist Post: Further Information WorldWright's …

Quote:

The situation in Suez copied and translated word for word from an Egyptian living in Suez: Now everything is fully destroyed, it is as if we are in emergency curfew, armored vehicles/tanks are everywhere in the area of ‘Irbieen’ and in the governerate – and we hear the sound of bombs/grenades every few minutes and there is still live ammunition and the protesters are brave men and women and none of them are afraid nor did anyone run or escape, even though they know that alot of protesters are detained in towers since 9 o’clock and there are no networks to confirm that parents are okay and security forces and fully in charge and we have yet to see the mayor, he hasn’t even made a statement about what has happened and to comfort the parents of those who were jailed and the parents are enraged. One of the parents hasn’t even received the body of her daughter until now and chaos is filling the place and we do not know what fate will being to us tomorrow with this government…

Protests in Egypt - live updates | News | guardian.co.uk
The Guardian live updates.

It's disgusting, the Egyptian gov't is shooting protesters with rubber bullets and burning cars in the shittier(read: more likely to fight back) neighborhoods, they shut down the internet and is trying to block all mobile communications.
All the while CNN is interviewing Chloe Kardashian and rambling on about ridiculous partisan politics.

José · 01-28-2011, 07:47 AM
