Egypt anti-government protests grow
- Thread starter stuff_it
- Start date
Disturbing if they're sending in the military to shut down Al Jazeera, not very surprising mind.
I'm still pretty worried about all of this, I fear the protestors may have been lulled into a false sense of security, there were images of folk celebrating in the street, maybe they've been told that Mubrak has been toppled by the army.
I hope I'm wrong.

Mubarak is finished. Game over. Expect news of him leaving soon

The police knocked on the Al Jaz door earlier, not the pres guard.

Lets hope so.
I really hope you're right, might even pray that you're right.

OK Im going to do my own detective work here.
Seen the couple of seconds of footage on Al Jazeeras current loop that shows military and protesters not getting on outside a building?
Found a picture of the Nile TV building, it appears to match the footage, in that its lower sections are round.

US have given his marching orders...he'd be an idiot to make a stand.

If he was very arrogant/deluded wouldn't he have been on telly by now thinking his authority would resolve things?

The army have just been told they are going to lose 1.5 billion dollars a year unless Mubarak leaves.
Game over.

More to the point, anybody else making a stand with him would be an idiot. I'm guessing he's losing allies by the second. He must be being advised to go.

Suez: 11 dead, 150 injured (of which 20 in serious condition). Blood doners are called upon to help deal with situation

Latest from Al Jaz - no idea where Mubarak is. Protester numbers growing on the streets - "no sign of any police, they may be hovering around corners"

Dylans - I think your scenario of someone like El baradi being smoothed into positon with US bakcing is very likely; but if/when mubarak goes the govenrment will have to grant free elctions, press and political freedoms, and release of political prisoners at the least - which would be a fantastic victory for the frankly courageous egyptian people and will put the shits up all the other tyrants in the region.
