A harrowing, historic week in Egypt - The Big Picture

A harrowing, historic week in Egypt - The Big Picture - Boston.com

articles, videos and such on Egypt.

two great videos i recommend watching :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeD9B3b4xzs (sums up everything in 8 min)

http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/rizkhan/2011/02/2011238843342531.html

the second one, is REALLY worth watching. it's a stimulating discussion with Muslim scholar Tarik Ramadan and philosopher Slavoj Zizek <--this guy is awesome.

and watch this video ...i love it.:). not that i need to prove that music is awesome, but just look how music can also be so influential. It helps raise awareness of issues and concerns of our days either to ourselves or to the public. It also helps well the emotions inside of us allowing us to speak up with strong passion beautifully. power to music!...Here you go.

funny how suddenly the gas pipeline in egypt has been called a "terrorist attack" so quick and so fast...perhaps an attempt to manipulate the population? quite possible. Well, it will fail the people are done with b.s.

‎Ayman Mohyeldin has been detained by military authorities.. can it be anymore obvious how threatened the government continues to feel. release him now!!

‎30 years of repressive rule, of course mubarak has more tricks up his sleeve

Muabark lied people died.



whitecrayon people of Egypt, the solution is not hard. You've got the crowd, now all you need is Dance Dance Revolution and a few projectors ;)


CNN REPORTS: "Man on opposition loudspeaker chanting "women stay back from front lines, men defend your positions, we will have victory soon."



Nicholas D. Kristof : Mubarak thinks that he's necessary for order in Egypt? When he sponsors today's brutality and chaos

White House: 'the time for change has come and that time is now' Robert Gibbs, press secretary on Egypt - http://aje.me/dKyIQt

my status: Yo Mubarak, im heading to your best friends place, The white house, be afraid be very afraid.
YO Obama, continue your sweet talk but honey we won’t buy it. It’s time you stand with what you plea-justice, freedom and DEMOCRACY..
im afraid but i'm holding onto belief. These tears are tears of joy and not tears of sadness, tears of pride and tears of meaning. egypt ♥

"how can i trust someone that has been killing us for 10 days" salma, a protestor in tahrir square"

your a murderous dictator, mubarak. i don't like you. go away.

"on a day like today...gotta hold on, smile on my face 'cause I know the sun's gonna shine my way" ;) .....☮ out mubarak.

I have the chills just watching Al jazeera. This is so beautiful.

my sickened stomach is relieved by the remembrance of all the peaceful and determined believers of freedom. beautiful.

yo Mubarak, get the heck out of Egypt already. I want to sleep!!

open this if you want to laugh hysterically

Mubarak says he "TAKES PRIDE IN SERVING EGYPT AND THE HOMELAND, I DEFENDED IT'S SOIL AND I WILL DIE IN THE SOIL OF EGYPT" I guess he wants to get assassinated.

"without music, life would be an error"

Protesters in Tahrir Square break into song


yemen, a beautiful country that has turned ugly

QAT: the social narcotic that has come to mean everything for the life of a Yemeni. it has destroyed the country and the people one by one.=(


Laid-back attitude leavens the revolution
www.washingtonpost.com

we must tackle the qat epedimic in yEMEN. by way of boycotting Qat. you can't claim to advocate those things without trying to eliminate a major factor impeding on them in the first place! We're not talking about a small group of people - the vast majority of the population... is in a constant state of false euphoria induced by a legal psycho-stimulant drug (yes, a drug.. same molecular make-up as amphetamines); whichever way you look at it, it's a disaster personally, socially, economically, culturally.. and now, politically. People don't chew because they have nothing better to do, they do nothing because they're too busy chewing. Sitting around in jalasat qat having heated 'discussions' about the government and status quo isn't going to change things. We'd be better off if heroine took it's place, at

unity.

dear friends,
this is what unity looks like.
