On the Earth's day : A victory for Ras El-Bar

Ok today is the Earth's day , the 22nd of April , many blogs around the world is dedicating their posts today to speak about environmental issues and this is what I will do , I will speak about very good news , very promising to all the green world supporters.
The people of Damitta have won the battle against the ugly Agrium factory.
The factory stopped its operations and the news is saying that they will announce tomorrow the transfer of the factory to another place. Yes they will leave Damitta; Ras El-Bar is saved folks
The bad news they are going to transfer to another location on the coast of the Red Sea to pollute the area there and threaten nature and sea life there.
Anyhow I am happy for Damitta and its people. Already I think what happened there is historical , for the first time the people succeeded in doing something like this to stand against a company and against a terrible regime and succeed .
I am so happy because actually the people of Damitta they were the one who did it ,no body was behind them like the Regime media claimed as usual from MB and Kafya , no it was the people , the simple people from the beginning to the end !!
The simple people who hanged black cloth label in their balconies scan0001 and their windows , who protested, who gathered signatures and petitions , who sent delegations to the Presidency with statements and who offered to buy the land of the factory with a price twice its original value.
The people of Damitta acted in a very civilized way , seriously a real civilized way .
This is a victory for Earth and it should be mentioned today in the Earth's day .
Updates : Unfortunately the factory is not closed yet , its operations were only stopped , the battle is still on
