Too many rumours flying around, nothing to confirm.

Protests @ Tahrir square in Downtown is growing by the second. Twitter is down, thanks to the help of internet and cellphone service companies. They disgust me.

Over 50,000 protesting at Al Raml Station in Alexandria....no news being reported on Al Jazeera, nor Al Arabiya or BBC Arabic. Its obvious they have struct some kind of deal with the regime (especially Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya).

Well Aljazeera Mubasher has been showing recorded footage for a while now. not to mention Aljazeera Arabic & Eanglish channels just giving "news" about it but not as wide spread as the Lebanon coverage.

Well its weird, cause Al Jazeera has been known to be quite Anti-Egypt (Egyptian regime), and now when something this big takes place: no coverage!

Anyways, I hope the protests continue to grow in numbers.

Just imagine what will happen if the police decides to protest. I'm so happy right now, lets just hope that all this fighting will bring result.

Wow, I'm just overwhelmed by what's happening. I was in class following it on Twitter, then the damn teacher confiscared my phone. So now I ditched class, and went to the computer lab to follow, this is incredible!


Police are now using rubber bullets against protesters, a correspondant has been shot in the head!

Also from what I understood from my limited time so far:
  • At least 50,000 people stormed downtown Cairo, breaking through police cordons, and surrounding the police for the first tim in Egyptian History.
  • Similar numbers gathered in Alexandira, and hundreds and thousands gathered in Sinai, Suez, and Upper Egypt.
  • Twitter has been blocked in Egypt!
  • All Egyptian news outlets have been banned from reporting. And why is CNN, BBC etc coming in so late. THE WORLD IS TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THIS!
  • Protesters have now decided an overnight sitin in Tahrir Square, Central Cairo. Tahrir square is now revolution HQ!

The crowds continue to grow, this is the largest show of force by the population in Decades!

Live stream from Downtown Cairo where a protest is taking place NOW:
