The Middle East Revolution [2010-2011] Thread: I love baton - General

[QUOTE=NOD Engineer;27712407]Yes, just saw it[/QUOTE] That happened 1 hour ago, Al jazeera English apparently gets reports from he Arabic version and then translates them.

Just would like to note they can't accuratley depict how many who are dead.

[QUOTE=Starpluck;27712499]The Shah for example. He was pro-Western, pro-Israel and various other shit that got the instant support of the U.S, he's identical to Mubarak.[/QUOTE] But the sad thing is that he was replaced by some one who wans't any better.

[QUOTE=Thom12255;27712497]The guy on the steam right now is really finding it hard to make America seem to be on the 'good' side.[/QUOTE] I think that they are waiting for the outcome before taking a side. Can't really blame them. What if they support the revolution and the government wins?

[QUOTE=Random94;27712538]But the sad thing is that he was replaced by some one who wans't any better.[/QUOTE] Well women at least got the right to vote.

Lol, Bedouin in Sinai are firing at the police with hunting rifles, and these people have rarely seen what civilization is like so i bet there is going to be trouble.

Rumours goes that the government people have been transported out of Cairo by helicopters.

[QUOTE=Starpluck;27712558]Well women at least got the right to vote.[/QUOTE] But in rigged elections so what's the point.

[QUOTE=phaedon;27712541]I think that they are waiting for the outcome before taking a side. Can't really blame them. What if they support the revolution and the government wins?[/QUOTE] Would love it if they sided with the people just as the people took over, just so they can wave around the fact that they supported the revolution.

[QUOTE=TrulliLulli;27712413]400 people wounded actually?[/QUOTE] Those are the confirmed numbers. There's probably a lot more, since hundreds of thousands of people are involved.

[QUOTE=clanratc;27712617]Would love it if they sided with the people just as the people took over, just so they can wave around the fact that they supported the revolution.[/QUOTE] Probably what will happen, imho.

[QUOTE=Miktor.;27712609]Rumours goes that the government people have been transported out of Cairo by helicopters.[/QUOTE] The BBC are / were reporting that it was the people in the Israeli embassy (they were quoting someone on Twitter)

The protesters are now outside the Egyptian national television station, they are trying to break in.

They're reporting on Army/Police clashes again.

[QUOTE=Thom12255;27712646]They're reporting on Army/Police clashes again.[/QUOTE] Unconfirmed.

I wish they would get videos of what is actually happening at the television station. Its boring just listening and the only thing outside their news building is loiterers.

[QUOTE=sebmck;27712661]Unconfirmed.[/QUOTE] It's true they are climbing on an APC a few seconds ago.

[QUOTE=Miktor.;27712609]Rumours goes that the government people have been transported out of Cairo by helicopters.[/QUOTE] Where will they go?

[QUOTE=LarparNar;27712688]There you go.[/QUOTE] Ah, thanks. Not sure how the youtube tags worked.

[QUOTE=Mr. Sun;27712669]I wish they would get videos of what is actually happening at the television station.

[QUOTE=RebeccaChambers;27712697]Where will they go?[/QUOTE] Obama's bedroom.

I hope this doesn't backfire like the 1905 Russian Revolt.

[QUOTE=Random94;27712708]Well i can describe it if you would like, they were pushing the Gates of the station and trying to ram them down, but i think there are soldiers in the station.[/QUOTE] Thanks, I am seeing a few videos of whats going on around the streets and just saw the videos of the people cheering on the APC's. This looks good. Is it possible that the military was sent in to defend the protesters against the police? I'm still a bit confused on that because they are welcoming the army.

I just hope that the military won't take example from the "Turkish model" as this guy suggested.

I'm still a bit confused on that because they are welcoming the army.[/QUOTE] The army are rarely used - apparently the people don't have the same negative sentiment towards them as they do to the police. The protesters are therefore assuming that the army is on their side from optimism, though we cannot know for sure what is actually going on. It looks hopeful though: the army haven't fired on protesters yet.

Wow, i turned into an amateur Journalist from the looks of things
