"I Don't Understand What Has Happened"
Feb 4th, 2011
When Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq said these words yesterday, many were stunned. Personally, I don't think any of Mubarak's people could have put it better. They really, really don't get it.

Egypt Unravels And We Are Reminded...
Jan 25th, 2011
القمع يخلق مقاومة
History seems to be repeating itself. In a stunning scene many are comparing to the moment when "Tank Man" stood alone in the path of soldiers moving into Tienanmen Square more than two decades ago,
an Egyptian protester this afternoon obstructed an advancing water cannon unit in the streets of Cairo. The video below shows the event. As of this writing, Egypt has blocked Twitter and 3 are dead amidst calls for President Hosni Mubarak's resignation. There are reports the president's family has fled the country.
Early reactions on the part of authorities were muted. We see again what is always the case with repressive regimes. When you loose the yoke of real tyranny, even very briefly, it does not take long for a people to bare their anger and their bravery.
