Prime minister Sharaf to address the nation today- The minister of culture is blaming Mubarak's regime remnants

- Rumor that Eissawy , the minister of interior has been heard on BBC Arabic radio service , another rumor that he will attend the derby game tonight !! There is news that Major General Etman will attend the game as well. Update : The ministry of interior has denied the news officially on ON TV from short while ago.
- A new video from Tahrir square by Lilian Wagdy
- Lilian has also published a great photo gallery in Flickr from Tahrir today.
- According to the statements or rather Wall note updates issued by MOI in its official page the security forces were only protecting the ministry of interior from the thugs attempts to break in out the ministry's HQ !! The MOI says that its forces were working according the orders of the ministry when it comes to deal with peaceful protesting !! The officers restrained themselves indeed !!?
- The best statement published by a potential presidential candidate was the statement of Dr. Abdel Manam Abu El Fatouh where he demanded the resignation of Eissawy and purifying the ministry of interior from Mubarak's era traces. The statement was more than a great and balanced. Abu El Fatouh wins a lot of points with it without a doubt.

- Almost all TV night talk shows are speaking about the matter , of course as someone who followed it since yesterday I feel that there is nothing left to say except that the ministry of interior needs a stand.
- More videos from last night
- Should not that solider be punished for breaking military laws !? It is interesting that they are hiring thugs in CSF now !!?
- That video below is allegedly for one of the dead in the clashes today , I am still not sure though. It is graphic , I repeat again.
How about some proof of these "saboteurs"? Government officials and the army have been using this excuse for far to long to cover up their incompetence, what a farce!
ReplyDeletefrom the testimony of the Mohamed saber's sister..this was a set up...clearly after dissolving the local councils yesterday..the thing is what is all this fight about? it is really a mess..
ReplyDeletei saw contradicting videos here ..so i can't understand clearly what's your point of all this mess happening ?
Tired? What do you live again the way? Summer vacation is not something to do?
ReplyDeleteThe point? have you been living in Egypt recently? the point you brainwashed twat is the trial of Adly and 6 top officers for the murder of over 1000 civilians have been postponed for the third time without any reasons given by the judge. The point is the trials are not televised. The point is the criminal pigs are being treated like royalty when they arrive at the court and the martyrs' families are treated like trash and shoved outside the courtroom. You see the point now?

ReplyDeleteWell done and thank you for all these links, videos, and information. Keep safe...
ReplyDeleteMaybe all this is staged so there can be another prison breakout to free mubarak's sons...
ReplyDeleteOK I am a foreigner and this is not my fight; although somehow it is becoming my fight too. How can someone stay silent watching such injustice done to brave, honest people, who are demanding freedom and not much more than a decent living?
ReplyDeleteI can understand the families of those who got murdered by Mubarak and his henchmen demanding justice.
It is too obvious that the old regime plays a game here. Just some scapegoats, who get ridiculous exaggerated sentences, while murderers enjoy a happy life in Sharm El Sheikh or in luxury apartments in Tora.
While there are endless empty talks about the constitution, money is laundered into Swiss bank accounts and religious fanatics are playing with the minds of the honest.
I wish you Egyptians all the best from the bottom of my heart! My deepest condolences to the families of all victims for their terrible loss.
I must close this by admitting that I feel so much ashamed of my government and all those hypocrite Western politicians who were feeding puppet rulers like Mubarak, Ben Ali for such a long time at the expense of their people.
Herd rolling into the abyss .....
