than 50 people were killed yesterday in Egypt, 23 in Alexandria alone,
many were "riddled" with bullets, some with faces blackened, crushed
and unrecognizable, according to latest Al Jazeera (english) reports
from the morgues. There is huge anger and rage, from the families who
have lost loved ones. There have also been reports and images of people
shot by metal pellets from shot guns. At present on the streets, it
seems the police have stepped down and the army are protecting
buildings of interest (embessies, government buildings, banks), but,
the army are reported to be on the side of the people against the
"common enemy". The army are asking people to not gather in the
streets, but people are paying no heed. If things heat up again today,
as they are very likely to do, who knows what way it will go. There
seems to be a very large level of support of the army, whereas little
or none for the police. <br>
<br>
The main headquarters of the ruling National Democratic Party was
burned to the ground last night when 10`s of thousands broke the
cerfew, along with many police armoured vehicles, cars and barricades
in the streets. The internet was nearly totally shut down by the state
(97% in 1 day), to stop facebook and twitter being used as a chief
organisation tool for protests. This is an unprecedented move. Also
yesterday, to add fuel to the fire, wikileaks released further cables
related to Egypt. Mobile phone networks were shut down, thereby making
it very hard for people to coordinate. <br>
