As the group passed me I joined them. Emotions were so high and passions so great it was almost tangible. I've never seen men so angry, yet so happy to be expressing their anger. I walked next to girls in hijabs (Islamic headscarves) screaming for the downfall of Hosni Mubarak. I walked behind men begging God for freedom . In the middle of the tumult, I spotted two Muslim men praying in the middle of the sidewalk. I soon heard screams from behind me and realised that the police had sent tear gas canisters flying into the air. Everyone began to run away from the source. Fortunately, I avoided the full force of the gas but my fellow protesters were not so lucky. Screams for water filled the air as men dropped to their knees, covering their faces. I saw one little girl furiously rubbing her eyes as tears streamed down her face. I stayed for another hour, on the sidelines. I felt different about Egypt as I walked away, like the political stagnancy had finally come to an end . As I walked across a bridge to Zamalek I could still hear chants coming from Tahrir, "Horreyya, Horreyya, Horreyya!" - "Freedom, freedom, freedom! Courtney Graves, American living in Giza

^^ Is not just the cheese - you'll need heavy dose of camel meat to go with that to have the proper effect - Apparently the Book of Revelations was authored under this influence.

Haye - 'the information age' = media stoking the fire = arab immolation = awaiting revolution. Mubarak - possible heart attack!

yeah, a graduate from London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine but unluckily from him - he is from Wal.aweyn (i can not believe that town's name is censored) instead of Oodweyn

i remember attending an islamic lecture once and they made joke about him wining elections always with 95% - never less or more - just the 95% always and Qadafi's - lets talk about what is in locker A before we talk about Locker B

^is it a condition that you have to recognise SL as an independent country?

^^what did AS do to that one they caught in Bay or was it Bakool?

Gheelle.T;690236 wrote: What has happened in Tunisia was not a politically motivated uprising nor was it organized as such. It came about people's frustration with their government and the lack of social equality( jobs, high price foods, and etc..) To replicate it in Egypt or anywhere else in Arab world, will just be futile. What's happening in Egypt is political movement trying to take advantage on people's emotions. Those who support Egypt and the system in place will not accept, nor will Papa Mubarak go easy on these demonstrators. They rather come with something unique and sophistication. Not chaos that will produce death and destruction. As for Yemen, it's more likely be Next Somalia or Where Lebanon once were than the Tunisia's peaceful power transfer. Exploiting public emotions is a well known ingredient for the formula of bringing down dictators Ngonge - what do you make of the BBC campaign of stoking the fire in Egypt?

and what happened to the other one?

^how about a cow? Wa hagaag, waa maxay micnaha - Al comondo viloli urbani eatoizzata costruine una baraca per uso.......... Tto di tereno demenale della dimensione di ml...... Mahadsanid -

Somalina talyaani ma turjumi kadhaa?

I thought Egypt was still under marshal law?

According to the BBC they already had two Bouazizi and today the marches started.

malaha waxaad ka waday maahmaahaha Xamariga ah ma fahmaan reer Mudug

^OMG that is recipe for disaster and what will happen to my cousin Abdullahi?

The BBC wants Egypt to be next Tunisia - I don't know why thought!

^are you saying Juxa (and reer Xarardheer by extension) do not understand somali too?

^ I agree and we all look forward to the day you fall by your own sword Ngonge. As for the these two - i think they will be back!

There are certain things in life that are and should be always beyond reproach - this is one of them. Have the decency to recognised it people and offer whatever help you can. When i became aware of this issue and i wrote to the Puntland Authorities - offering my humble views as to how best confront this phenomenon - i was disappointed that their response was in a nutshell - Adigu haayad la imo maal gelisa - and we will help you establish it. Thanks Somalina for keep us updated on this.
