What is happening in Egypt and a few other countries might be a historical change to a better, more honest and peaceful world. At least that is the hope. Therefore it is shocking how much violence the authorities use to keep the population down. At the same time most of the social networks seem to have been shut down.
Friends of mine have sent me this appeal with the plea to spread the word and push for their cause. While I cannot do much more from here, I want to support them by spreading their words in solidarity.
a message from egypt
Um fine now, my bf got beaten up and a friend of mine was kidnapped by the police and we have no idea where he is!The conditions here are very bad, they’ve shut down facebook and twitter and tumbler and bambuser, u can only check them on ur mobile now and soon we won’t even be able to do that. 4 protestors have been killed and hundreds are injured, the police is attacking the protestors using rubber bullets and tear gas and cold water and in some areas they are even firing real bullets. People are now being kidnapped from the street its almost like a curfew in cairo down town, any person walking on his feet is taken with no idea about the destination.
But we won’t stop, hopefully we will survive until the weekend and every egyptian will be in the street! Please help spread the word because news channels both on tv and on the internet are not getting the real picture, the pictures and videos that are airing are both old and not getting the honest full reality of how brutal the police is here. If you need to check things the most honest page right now both on facebook and twitter is RNN Rassdwehda.
Please share the news!
Love
That said, there are also other places to read up on what is going on in Egypt and the middle east: e.g. Global Voices or Al Jazeera
May peace, truth, openness and fairness prevail!
