“We need to know one another, and who’s doing what in each province.” said Na’eem Ramadan, an Arabic teacher from Dessouq, in the northern Nile Delta province of Kafr el-Sheik. “We can’t stay fragmented… We have to strike. The people (teachers) have reached their limits and cannot take it anymore. Before Kefaya, no one used to demonstrate in the streets. It’s different now. But we will not be able to do anything unless we unite ourselves. In Dessouq, we are staging a sit-in 20 September, on the first day of classes. We are not going to our schools. We will go to the Teachers’ Syndicate Club in Dessouq and assemble there. Other provinces need to do the same.”

SS detain dozens of Karama activists in Kafr el-Sheikh
State Security pigs raided a flat in Balteem (located in the Nile Delta province of Kafr el-Sheikh, where Karama Party leader Hamdeen Sabbahi holds a parliamentary seat) arresting a group Karama Party activists were staying during a summer camp, taking them into custody following an interrogation.
Kefaya’s website said more than 40 youth were detained, but I was told by a journalist that the number is about 37.
No more information is available.
Kafr el-Sheikh citizens fight back the police
Two videos surfaced online, purportedly from Kafr el-Sheikh (the Nile Delta Governorate that includes the town of Burullus), of a police force, in the beginning of July, trying to disrupt a wedding (something the corrupt police officials frequently do in the provinces and in the poor areas, unless paid a royalty) by taking away one of the attendees.
However, the people resisted, beating the police officers, their corporals, and plainclothes informers, liberating the detainee. The officer leading the raid, Muhammad el-Qadi, fled the scene with his car, leaving his corporals and soldiers behind, to get their sorry butts smacked by the people of Kafr el-Sheikh.
