well, let me explain what happened exactly.
friday, 12:00 am, no internet, no cellphone...people started going mad at the government, after the friday prayer on about 2:00 pm, protests started happening along with riots, and the cops started fighting back by throwing tear gas grenades at us, alot of people died choking including the cops themselves (and believe me, the cops DESERVED it), 5:30 pm, all of a sudden poof, no cops, no government officials, no one, protests turned to riots, fires and destruction everywhere, since there were no cops, people started stealing stuff from everywhere and everyone and started killing people, from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm, prisoners began escaping from prisons and burning them down, taking weapons with them and start rampaging, so saturday 7:00 pm, the army started appearing inside the country and some army dude came on TV telling egypt's youth to form groups around blocks armed with short range weapons like knives, swords (yes swords), giant sticks, chains, daggers...etc...and around my block, i was one of those people, and yesterday we were up like 14 hours, egyptian youth have caught over half the escaped convicts over the last 4 days, and mubarak finally yesterday said he will not be president in the polls this year, and that he formed a completely new government and will begin fixing the country, and finally the cops started coming back, and they are ofcourse not so welcome by the people since they betrayed us all...and we are recovering, one bit at a time.
i am really tired now, so i'll be talking about this later...
