| Liberation Square, Cairo |
More than a million people are estimated
to be taking part in the ongoing protests across Egypt, demanding Husni
Mubarak, the US backed dictator to step down.
Tens of thousands of protesters have
taken to the streets of Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan, Giza, Luxor, Ismailia
and many other cities defying the curfew to demand that the 30 year old
reign of terror must end.
Violent clashes between the Egyptian
security forces and the demonstrators have continued onto its second day
killing more than 100 people around the country.
Despite the deployment of army on the
streets of Cairo, protesters have set fire to numerous buildings,
including the headquarters of the ruling NDP. Internet and mobile
services in the country remains blocked in a bid to quell
anti-government protests.
The upheaval continues as the protesters
are hammered with batons, rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons.
There have been reports of police firing live rounds into the crowds.
The long suppressed patriotism, pride
and courage of the Egyptians have been finally awakened, and the
dramatic events unfolding in Egypt continues to ring alarm bells in
Washington and Tel Aviv for fear of not knowing the fate of the shaky
peace established between Egypt and the Zionist Israel.
