Egypt: The revolution will not be exported
Essam Sharaf, our “revolutionary prime minister,” is flying out on Monday to meet the Arab Gulf monarchs, in a bid to attract foreign investments, and to “assure them the January revolution was a purely Egyptian affair and will not be exported to other countries.”
Sharaf, shame on you. Our revolution should extend its hands to the oppressed people of those countries. The success of our revolution is a function of its spreading in the region. We cannot build a democratic Egypt surrounded by an ocean of dictatorships (and that includes Israel).
State Terrorism
During its crackdown today on peaceful protesters, the army brought the military police and Force 777, which are those “counter-terrorism” masked dudes in the picture above. The army raided buildings around Tahrir Square snatching activists and citizens from local coffeeshops, just like State Security Police or, more accurately, the Israeli army.
