[energiadecreixent] Solidarity with the revolt in Egypt, and beyond, against 30 years of Dictatorship

[Fun Peace]

Egyptian revolt - 50+ dead, government building burned to the ground, tanks on 
the streets

More 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. 


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.
