So as some of you may know, I am 100% Egyptian. There is quarrel in my home country and it is my duty to evangelize those of our situation! Doom may come! But together we are strong!
First lets get some facts out:
Hosni Mubarak is the President of Egypt at the moment. Some people hate him. Some like him.
Riots and Protesters are abundant within the streets of Egypt.
They even took away Facebook.
So what's going on over in Egypt? Well, besides the poverty, unemployment, and a surplus autocratic governmental corruption, people can't even use Twitter any more! Which was blocked due to people collaborating protests against Mr. Mubarak. Some slightly less humane measures are being taken such as tear gas and baton beat downs, whatever. Freaking internet access country-wide was abrogated and thus many organizations and companies that were not even involved with primitive protesting are suffering due to this cat fight. At least they're letting the relatively affable military handle this instead of the police.
Anyways, enter stage left, USA. Aside from Israel, Egypt, parasitically, receives more aid from the USA than any other country. More than 1.5 billion dollars. Naturally, we're marching over there to see what's going on with our investment. Some of them, including reporters and human rights activists, are getting arrested and thrown in jail, or even being beaten by "gangs" that support the President. Anyways, back to the elite. Obama has been taking some actions to communicate with Hosni in attempts to persuade him to resign, allowing an interim, or provisional, government to be formed ... kinda like the one in Iraq. Either that or transfer the power of the government over to VP Omar Suleiman. A situation worth following.
With possible more than 300 people dead and a lot more wounded we have quite an itch on our planet.
