NATO to help Mubarak police his borders

Posted on By 3arabawy

From AP:

NATO will provide equipment to help Egypt monitor its porous borders under a new partnership agreement, the Egyptian presidential spokesman said Wednesday.
Egypt became the second country in the region after Israel to sign Tuesday the North Atlantic alliance’s “Individual Cooperation Program,” which aims at improving political and military ties with the Mediterranean.
“Providing equipment for night surveillance is one thing they can do for example,” said spokesman Suleiman Awad about what NATO would do to help Egypt protect its borders.
“It’s not about the deployment of troops,” he added, quashing reports in the Israeli media that NATO troops might help patrol the Gaza border.
According to the NATO statement, the agreement will give the alliance’s cooperation with Egypt a more strategic dimension.

Revolt in Burma

Posted on By 3arabawy

I received this message from a Burmese journalist in the US:

Dear Colleagues,
Another sad episode of Burma is happening starting from last night (Wednesday daytime in Burma)
Ruling junta use arm soldiers and polices to disperse the protesting crowd and mass arrest is going on.
Many of my friends can’t manage to come back home from protest although curfew time started and streets are deserted. Before the shooting started in downtown, one of my friend send message from nearby Internet café and said ‘we are a living dead under this dictatorial regime and death itself is not a matter.’
I am praying for safety of people in Burma. That all I can do right now.

Make sure you also read what Lenin has to say about this.
