*BREAKING* REVOLT IN EGYPT - 7 Dead, Dozens wounded, Reports Of Live Ammo Being Used - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Bluesummers;27687797]Why would the government not use live rounds?[/QUOTE] Maybe because slaughtering your own population isn't the brightest idea?

[QUOTE=Bluesummers;27687797]Why would the government not use live rounds?[/QUOTE] What Egypt needs now is massacre? Using live rounds = a warzone

[QUOTE=Bluesummers;27687797]Why would the government not use live rounds?[/QUOTE] Nothing makes a populace love its government more than [i]killing their family members[/i].

Only on your CNN son just checked telegraph and bbc news nothing about egypt atm just Yemen. Brb making thread.

Revolts? If a few more revolutions succeed this might be a huge problem. I hope they manage to suppress this before it gets out of hand.

But how will any of these North African/Middle Eastern revolts outdo Kyrgyzstan and it's anti-tank students? [img]http://insepia.net/kendricklo/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/34791672.JPG.jpeg[/img] [img]http://info-wars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/protester-rpg2.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=The Rifleman;27678899]First Tunisia now Egypt? The fuck[/QUOTE] Tunisia literally set the tone for a lot of North Africa. Which can be good and bad at the same time.

Arrests have reportedly gone up to 800. With Friday approaching (day off for Egyptians who are employed), more people are expected to join in the demonstrations. Casualties have mainly been in Suez where response has probably involved live ammunition due to the canal "security". Egypt has increased communications blackout from blocking sites to a near total internet blackout within its borders. SMS (text messaging) has been blocked too. Western response continues to be the same- they're putting pressure on Mubarak to institute reforms but are stopping short of telling him to listen to the demands of the people and step down. If this was another nation, say Iran, they'd be definitely singing another tune. Difference here is Egypt is a strategic ally, not an enemy. Some reports indicate that Mubarak himself may not even be in Cairo but at a resort in Sharm el-Sheikh on the Sinai. Can't comment much more on that. The reformer ElBaradei (former head of IAEA) has returned to Egypt to join the protests. He had also been building up for a presidential run in the next election. This adds another figure who can give the Egyptian government a more "humane" face while keeping the same institutions in place so far as the US's interests are concerned. Video of a protester getting shot- [url]http://video.ap.org/?f=None&pid=oT7qj_wiVHTbYae3scwok4_irYjJ2R8Z[/url]. A facebook message from inside Egypt sent a few hours ago before internet black out. TBH I am not sure where it's come from but it's being thrown around a lot of the facebook groups: [quote] "It's now 3 am in the morning in Egypt. Hundreds of political activists are being arrested from their homes at this moment in a very large scale operation. Almost all leaders of Muslim brotherhood are confirmed arrested. More reports that Police agents are pouring petrol in the streets of main squares to set them on fire during protest. Please act."[/quote] I'm going to move to the thread here now- [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1053531-I-love-baton/page8[/url]

Fucking disgraceful that no other nation is doing anything about the Egyptian government and just ignoring it

That shit should be illegal even for the government. Shit is going to hit the fan very soon.

Now shit is going down for real. Unless the dictator says he is ready to negotiate with the demonstrators, instead of just cracking down, then Eqypt will go banana. You can hear live fire. Automatic weapons, sounds like kalasnikovs.

[QUOTE=The Rifleman;27678899]First Tunisia now Egypt? The fuck[/QUOTE] Yemen too.

Holy crap, it's a full blown uprising. This isn't just going to fade away.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;27710842]Using capital letters make it seem important, but really revolutions happen all the time.[/QUOTE] But they are important. It may not be an isolated occurrence, but that doesn't make it any less important.

[QUOTE=hurts;27710882]Yemen too.[/QUOTE] Please, let this be a sign of major reform in that entire area of the world.

Watching the livestream... that's some scary stuff. It feels like I'm watching something live that will be in history books.

[QUOTE=Melnek;27710987]We are witnessing a historical event right now.[/QUOTE] This might just be the start of a massive change of the middle east.

Tanks on the streets

They interrupt the demonstrators in Friday prayer, guess what the hell is going to happen now, when you've pissed off the islamic believers...

Lets hear a few words from the average Fox viewer. [quote]GET READY AMERICA, THIS TURMOIL IS COMING TO OUR STREETS.

Oh hell no, firing tear gas in the middle of their prayer? That's a new low.
