So far reports of gun fire, lots of fires, protesters got a troop transporter on a bridge trying to push it into the Nile, curfew in effect but being ignored, reports of few people killed....



Also some coverage on CNN....

Hildebeast calls for Egypt gov to turn the internet back on and not resort to violence. Says people have rights of expression....




Some military tanks giving thumbs up to protestors and greeting them. Sounds like some military units are siding with the protestors....



Gov has little to no handle on the situation....

This could easily turn into an Iranian style Islamic revolution. We should be watching

Looks like they are getting their open political competition eh?

WHEN HE met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in September, President Obama brought up the need for "a vibrant civil society, open political competition, and credible and transparent elections in Egypt," according to a White House summary. It was a well-timed intervention: Egypt's parliamentary elections are scheduled for next month, and a broad pro-democracy movement is pressing for reforms, beginning with the regime's acceptance of domestic and international poll monitors.

Al Jazeera showing protesters welcoming military APC's. Cheering and waving flags.




Maybe the mil is taking control of the country? AJ reporter in Alexandria says protesters there welcoming military, too.



The military taking control sounds like A LOT better option than Muslim Brotherhood. No one wants a radical muslim government in control of the Suez Canal....

Maybe:

A coup followed by military dictatorship with fake elections.

I wonder if that is the change that Egyptians were hoping for.

Hey, they just burned a nice truck.

[GermanSynergy]

A military dictatorship friendly to the interests of United States & Israel beats a country run by the Muslim Brotherhood.
