Wow, that was just... that was just unlike anything I've ever seen before. That just made me realize how truly pure and innocent this whole revolution is... unstaged, unpaid, undirected... It just seems impossible in our world. Humans are so greedy by nature, it seems everything is setup by someone, everything is directed, everything is controlled - but this isn't, I don't even know how this was possible.
Wow.

Bloody dangerous, that's for sure.

So is protesting in the streets of Cairo.
Egypt is hardly in the news any more, correspondents are being called back to the Netherlands. :smith:
Well, thing are taking a different turn now. Government buildings are surrounded by protesters (PM had to relocate to the Ministry of Civil Aviation in the last 30 minutes) and Suleiman just announced that the protests are no longer tolerable, which means more violence is to be expected. We'll see how this turns out.

Hahaha, changing a lightbulb in Egypt would be a hazardous practice by your standards.
I've seen electricians cutting live wires with their teeth.

I knew this would end in blood, hopefully more of muburak's than the people's
I demanded it in the states. I think it would be awesome if I got this news channel. We REALLY NEED an unbiased Non-American news source in the US.
3 Kills (1 confirmed) and 100 injured at [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Valley_Governorate]Alwady Algadeed[/url] and Asyut in a confrontation between the police and protesters.
It's hard to get any news out of there.

Unbiased media is a myth.
Less biased ones are good to have though.
Edit: This just showed up on my facebook:

Since 48 hours, the Police kill people in cold blood by live ammunition. Please help them, what is happening there is a bloody massacre and a crime against humanity![/quote]
What's happened in the last 3 or 4 days anyway? I haven't read up much on it as it seems to just be protests

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Russia Today international?

What, so now the cops are just shooting people?
[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;27954397]What, so now the cops are just shooting people?[/QUOTE]
More like a stupid, corrupt cop taking advantage of the situation, triggering a series of events that he'll regret ever starting in the near future. The full story is [url=http://www.elaosboa.com/show.asp?id=21186&vnum=fesal&page=mahalyat]here[/url] but I can't translate it right now.
Reuters mentioned this but didn't go into the details: [url]http://af.reuters.com/article/egyptNews/idAFLDE71822Y20110209[/url]
What's the most recent news from Egypt?
[QUOTE=Fycix;27953735]Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Russia Today international?[/QUOTE]
Never heard of it. Even with cable. And when you have only basic cable, you get your local news, CNN and FOX and that was about it (at least what I could remember)
and neither of those is doing a good job. Well seeing as the CNN reporters were messed with by police and FOX just being FOX.
I found this while searching through threads.

They just found this small chamber underneath the state security building at Almansoura, inside they found the remains of 4 people that seemingly have died a while ago.
I think I get Russia Today on VirginTV here in the UK.

That doesnt sound good.
People massacred in a small city where noone can get the news out because nobody is there.
Makes sense, but terrible.
Edit: Guys, watch this: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b_OIOAayjY[/url]
Basically sums up all the lies and crimes of the recent days of the Egyptian regime, good video to send to someone to quickly fill them in on the wrongs of the government and why the people are out there on the streets.

The world needs more Anderson Coopers.
In other news, it looks like the revolution has spread to the USA:

The video has been removed?
[QUOTE=Fycix;27953735]Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Russia Today international?[/QUOTE]
It's also state controlled if I'm correct.

As you know, around a 30 year totalitarian Regime from the Asshole Mubarak, people got pissed and have been camping near Tahrir square for about two weeks I believe.

Wiki has sweet summaries of every day so far.

But Mr. Mubarak and his private army of fanatics are part of the population of Egypt and, by extension, its people!
