so since Tunis revolted against their leader, Egypt and Yemen did the same. Tunisian people got what they want (almost), Yemen just started, and Egypt... well if you don't know, then you're fucking brainwashed.
TL;DR version of what's happening: The people are fucking the system, the president and his family escaped, police are making random arrests, some are joining the people, and what was planned as a peaceful protest has exploded into total chaos.
Recent events: (with the most recent at the top)
-Police is withdrawing from Central cairo completely and leaving protesters....Freedom... :-)
I can see protesters talking to policemen gently and trying to convince them to join
-Aljazeera english now: Groups of Egyptian protesters in Tahrir are praying in hundreds in the streets now right infront of Ramses Hilton hotel, in Tahrir, Cairo.
-Aljazeera: Military leaders declares: Curfew declared in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez. Army moved in to the national TV building. and their commander is that fucking pig named Mubarak.
-Police are firing live rounds in the air in Tahrir, Central cairo now. Qasr El Nile bridge has flames of fire.
-Aljazeera reporter in Alexandria: I cannot see a SINGLE policeman in Alex. Protesters are around 500 thousand (he said that). They are walking on Corniche street (next to the sea). Reporter is also saying: Protesters are arresting policemen (yes he said that) and when someone try to hit policemen, everyone else defends the policemen. Their only demand now in Alex is: Regime change.
Freedom, Change & Justice.
-Egyptian Army is now moving into Central Cairo....................... I don't know what will happen.... usually the Army is good..but...we just dont know...

Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director of Human Rights Watch, gives this detailed account of how police overwhelmed protesters in Alexandria today.
After prayers, the protesters came out of a mosque and started shouting slog...ans. They were saying "peaceful, peaceful" and raising their hands. They were immediately attacked by police in an armoured car firing teargas. Fierce clashes started then, with exchanges of rock throwing. About 200 police faced about 1,000 protesters. The clashes lasted for nearly two hours. Then a much larger crowd of protesters came from another direction. They were packed in four blocks deep. Police tried to hold them back with teargas and rubber bullets, but they were finally overwhelmed.
Then the police just gave up, at about the time of afternoon prayers. Protesters gave water to police and talked to them. It was was all peaceful. Hundreds of protesters were praying in the street.
Now walking down to downtown Alexandria, the whole road is packed as far as we can see, people shouting slogans against [Hosni] Mubarak and his son Gamal. Asking others to join them. It is a very festive atmosphere. Women in veils, old men, children, I even saw a blind man being led. And there are no police anywhere
-Alexandria, Suez, Damanhour, Monoufeya centers are under protesters control.
Protests start in the tourist resourt Hurghada and the nice bit: Foreigners and tourists are joining protesters in the streets calling on Mubarak to go... :-) ...
That's a physical international support.
-Kafr AlDawar: Police station is burnt down. Protesters are now heading to town hall.
Tahrir is on fire: Police there is very very brutal. hundreds of teargas canisters fired. protesters disperse and then gather again in different streets protesters split into 3 different areas.
-Rawya Rageh, for al-Jazeera, says she has seen evidence of a protester killed in Alexandria, a bloody body being held aloft through the streets with people chanting "There is no God but God". She adds that police have now been overrun by protesters in the city.
Aljazeera says: Portsaid has tens of thousands of protesters.
Protesters break into police stations and free arrested protesters.
-Damanhour centre is now under full control. Our control. Amn Al Dawla building has been burnt down. Amn Al Dawla are the notorious National security forces who specialise in torture of activists and political opponents. Also the ruling National unDemocratic Party building is destroyed in Damanhour.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE WHOLE SITUATION? COMMENT BELOW. THIS IS BOLDED AND IN CAPITAL LETTERS TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION. NOT TO ANNOY YOU =P
