The Suez city is like a war zone currently , the updates coming from the city currently describing very violent clashes between the locals and the police forces. The people of Suez are extremely angry for the murder of three locals “Mustafa Reda , Soliman Saber and Gharib Abdel Aziz Abdel Latif” yesterday during the #Jan25 Anger Day protest. This video below is allegedly for the first fallen victim in the #Jan 25 Anger Day.
According to the latest numbers from yesterday there were 130 injured in the general hospitals. There was a curfew imposed yesterday yet clashes exploded especially at Al Arbin square earlier today when the police refused to let the people organize a funeral for one of the victims that were killed yesterday.
The Al Arbin is witnessing some sort of war, the police reportedly is using live ammunition and the citizens are using rocks and Molotov bottles. Just today another citizen of Suez is reportedly killed by the live ammunition of the security forces according to Masrawy.com and 90 are injured according to Al Shorouk News.
The citizens have reportedly set the Arbin police station and NDP HQ on fire , attacked physically the head of Suez Security directorate along other 3 police generals and are currently encircling the city’s morgue. The police as I hinted is using live ammunition and started to target houses and shops using tear gas grenades
Again the people of Suez are suffering from terrible economic conditions as the factories owners there started to use cheap Asian labor instead of them creating a huge unemployment problem in the city. We are speaking about thousands without a job in a city. Suez has very strong history when it comes to fight , the IDF tried to invade the city several times and failed. Also many of the families in the Arbin quarter have roots in Upper Egypt , they do not give their rights easily.
Another thing , an important fact we all should know the army was not and has not been deployed there , the third army of Egypt is already stationed there and yes up till it is neutral and another important fact you all must know the police and CSF wear uniforms close to the army’s uniforms outside Cairo.
Here are a collection of videos in Suez yesterday and also today.

ReplyDeleteI am so scared that the army will crush the protests and all will be back as it was :(
ى الاستاذ حسني مبارك انتهى وقتك كفاية 30 سنة فلم تعد رئيسا
ReplyDeleteفلن تخلد فيها فلست اله
هل تراها دامت لاحد من قبلك؟
حتى الفراعنة ذهبوا الى غير رجعة
لوكان عندك ذرة من عقل باقية
لو كان عند من حولك ذرة حب لك فل يجعلوك تعيش آخر ايام حياتك
في سلام فلن تعيش 80 عاما أخرى
ارحل قبل تداس بالاقدام
Thank you for the update!
