5 tanks have entered Suez. The army is not the friend of this revolution. It is being deployed on the orders of Mubarak.

The BBC's Ranyah Sabry, in Cairo, reports: "There has been some sympathy towards the demonstrators from the security services. Right near to where I am stationed near the police hospital - which is only for officers - they are said to have been throwing masks out of the windows so that the protesters can cover themselves and avoid the effect of the tear gas."

If this happens in Saudi Arabia it will be a turning point, if not just more stooges. Saudi has the power.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Live gun fire now

 

[Kanda]

Saudi is a considerably richer state isn't it? Never happen.

sounds like the cunts bought guns... directions of explosions, fireing cannot be confirmed but the sound of gunshots can... :-(

 

[butchersapron]

Some worrying sounds now...

Mubarak has to go. Nothing less will satisfy people. Either he goes or he unleashes a bloody repression on his people using the army. I see no evidence that the army will not follow his orders to crush this revolution.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

@BA Yep

Yes, but they are the equivalent of the US propping us corrupt regimens.

In the middle east Saudi's are key.

You are not an armchair supporter Dennisr. I have no doubt if you were there you would be on the streets.
