These are the update about the news regarding the Sunday 6th of 
April general Strike which Egypt is going to see for the first time in its history
First of all you must know the stock Market in Cairo and Alexandria fears that strike and its consequences , it is expected that it will be affected on Sunday , affected badly if things got ugly as it is expected to have protests all over Egypt .
Second of all The Muslim Brotherhood is going to join the strike along with the rest of the political forces in Egypt .
Third Dr. Ayman Nour is going to strike in his prison too , well I know that sounds strange because he is already jail yet you consider it as sentimental move .
Fourth there will be protests outside the Egyptian Embassies in major cities around the globe "Bring it on !!"
Fifth the regime is trying to crack down the strike by dirty tricks ,already today and yesterday "and probably tomorrow" several activists from Kafya and MB "mainly about 800 activists" were detained , also there are instruction to schools ,universities,private hospitals not to encourage their stuff to strike , they wanted the school to hold exams for the students despite the monthly exams are finished and we are in the beginning of the exam , they wanted the private hospitals , schools and factories to punish those doctors,teachers,employees and workers who will be absent from work.
The regime is terrified from the strike and its results , you are introducing the Strike culture to the people and they like it , the approval rates from the middle class is playing an important indicator here
About schools just for your information most families I know will not send their kids to schools for fear of protests on that day.
Sixth the Islamist group which is trying to find any opportunity to remind the people that they are alive and dangerous said that they are with the strike
Seventh the campaign in Face book is receiving a huge success every day I found one of my friends saying that he or she is going to strike and is calling all his friends to do the same thing .
The event of the strike already is attended by thousands , thousands confirmed that they will strike
More updates to come ,
I am adding a Poll to know how many people from my visitors in Egypt are going to strike ,it will be closed on Sunday
Guys I swear everyday I feel that we are going to have a historical day more and more insh Allah , today I received a very critical political email from a friend , a non activist who does not know I am blogger , the guy just sit down and wrote it with his feelings about the country and regime
Here is a very popular cartoon by dear Ahmed Nadi about the Strike , I allowed to myself to translate it in to English
Actually i heard of at least two school giving, either officially or not, their students and staff this Sunday off
ReplyDelete@arabesque, well I did not hear , in fact I know there is one school that told its students and stuff to stay at home on Sunday
ReplyDelete@Amr , I am sorry but forget Iran and the Shiite for an instance and look what is going in Egypt ,we are on the break of seeing a historical day and you are living in your fears that the Iranians are coming !!
