Over the last 12 days Egypt has taken over the news channels on TV.

If one swims through all the data that is fed to the viewers, one realizes that one fact stands out:

PEOPLE OF EGYPT ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE REGIME & THEY HAVE FINALLY TAKEN IT IN THEIR HANDS TO OUST THE REGIME

This is a very important truth that all regimes in the world need to consider. It is also a reality that Imam Ali informs about to Malik-e-Ashtar in his letter to him about governing a people.

The puppets in the arab world (and elsewhere, Africa?) are shivering at this realization. The puppet regimes are well aware of how unhappy the masses are with them. It is but a matter of time.

One wonders what secrets will be revealed about the ruthlessness of the Mubarak-regime once Mubarak is thrown out. Perhaps Abu Ghuraib will seem humane in comparison. Who knows?

The real question for us in Tanzania is, how do we support our brethren in their struggle? How do we assist in ensuring they complete the task they have started?

The danger of the uprising dying out is a real one and if that happens then many a door in Egypt will get a knock-down late at night and the up-risers and their families will suffer.

Egypt protesters mass in Liberation Sq.



Much larger crowds of Egyptian protesters have been entering Cairo's Liberation Square on the 13th day of anti-government protests as the government is trying to back everything to normal.


The Egyptian army on Sunday tightened security around the square in the Egyptian capital as the massive countrywide demonstrations entered their thirteenth day, which was dubbed “Day of Martyrs”, a Press TV correspondent reported.

The soldiers patrolled Cairo's streets as the Egyptian government tries to reopen banks and shops in the city center after almost two weeks of closure.

The government moved to get people back to work following twelve days of protests while the protesters have pledged to continue the revolution until Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak steps down.

The incumbent Egyptian president, however, insists that he will stay in office until the next presidential election in September.

On Saturday, Egyptian state television announced that Mubarak has resigned as chairman of the ruling National Democratic Party.

Senior members of Mubarak's party also resigned on the same day, but demonstrators staging a 12th day of revolution rejected the shuffle as a cosmetic move.

Mubarak also reportedly held talks with key cabinet members to try to kick-start Egypt's economy, which has been hit hard by the ongoing protests.
