#Flagman : Our Egyptian Spiderman "Updated"

At 2 AM in the morning I found my iPhone twitter application sending notifications that made me get up from my bed and see what it was going on , it should be something big ; well it turns out that there is something big indeed but not a sad thing.
A young man has climbed the 13 floors without a rope till he reached to the Israeli embassy floor’s balcony and brought down the Israeli flag to put the Egyptian flag instead of it.
Nobody knew that young man or how he was but we were all afraid on him from failing, from being arrested but mainly from failing because we are speaking about 13 floors at night without a rope !! Nice people living in one of the floors opened their balcony for him so he could come down through the elevator and take some rest. When he came down , he was arrested by the military police whom I believe wanted to know who , why and how in the first place he managed to do what he had done. Of course down at the embassy’s entrance thousands were cheering and waiting for their hero that was being called “#Flagman”. When they saw him detained by the Military police , they screamed “We want him, we want him" thus the MP released so he would be received like a hero carried over shoulders.

Now this Spiderman is non other Ahmed El-Shahat , a 23 years old young from Sharkia who though for not less than 3 hours while standing at the bridge confronting the embassy’s building on how he could do it even if it would cost him his life. El-Shahat got in to the building during the switch of shifts through the building next to it. He said that when he was on the eighth floor he found an officer standing in some window with a weapon , Shahat gave him an ok sign and the officer replied back with an ok sign.

I believe Ahmed El-Shahat was the young man who used to climb the street lights at the heart of Tahrir square especially on July 8th.

This is the first time something like this happens in Egypt by all means , I think in the world as well for someone to climb like that to bring down the flag of another country.

The protesters launched fireworks since last Friday's night in order to reach to the flag and burn it.
El-Shahat turns to be a house painter who is not a political activist.
Tonight there will be a sohoor held on the honor of Shahat at Egypt's Renaissance statue at 11 PM Cairo local time in front of the Israeli embassy.
