Egyptian Chronicles: Follow Up : The day of the strike ; the birthday was a normal day

Ok guys here are the latest updates from Cairo and also from Egypt in the 4th of May strike , the birthday of the President.

I did update anything since the morning till I reached because I did not find anything worth for posting at least till 12 AM when the news of Mahalla began to come.

This was a normal work day for the Egyptians in the capital , I do not know about the universities or the other Governates but in Giza and Cairo , it was a normal. People went to their work after a whole week vacation with headaches from coming back.

I heard news about two demos . The First one was cracked by the NDP thugs in front of the Lawyers Syndication downtown , some activists tried to organized but there were too small in number and the police was quick enough to act. The second surprisingly took place in Shobra ,oh yes Shobra , the famous populated Shobra , no further information about it is available to me right now.

It was reported that the anti Forces were present extensively in front of important Mosques and Churches in Cairo like Al Hussein Mosque and Zatioun Church because it was suggested that people go to pray peacefully in Mosques and Churches for Egypt. "Is this bad??"

Out side Cairo ,things were not different , I know that Mansoura and its university are quite , it was normal day there.

May be outside Cairo there was nothing but in Mahalla there is something that is happening. Mahalla is said to be a ghost city currently , the only city that responds to the strike, I used "is said to be" because Mahalla is completely isolated. No journalist or photographer is allowed to enter the city ,BBC and Al Jazeera crews were not allowed to enter the city . Not that only the presence of the security forces in Mahla and Tanta was heavy one , I have heard that there were orders to the factories owners not to hang black flags on their factories as it was suggested.

Also The telephones lines were cut temporarily same things like mobile phones . There are strange news saying that the Police forces cut off the TV Dish Cables !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am putting for any news coming from Mahalla ,I expect the police to be aggressive because of what happened last month .

The news is not over yet , Mobinil and Vodafone today freezed their SMS services , both operators Customer service said that you can use the SMS service if you register your name and address , already I do not understand , is not the line is yours ??

Updates :

In public sector and also some private sector companies there were restrict orders for the employees not to be absent on Sunday.
Some people actually wore black clothes today when they went to work
I heard that some people actually put a black flag on their balcony "very brave"
The NDP and the shadow parties are putting posters praising Mubarak and attacking the strike across Egypt
Down Town today was like a security base , the officers were more than the civilians
