The day it all started. On January 25th, 2011, political opposition to the ruthless Mubarak regime organized mass demonstrations starting from urban poor areas such as Shobra chanting against high prices and political corruption heading all the way to Tahrir, where it turned into a revolution. Many protests like this happened before and many took place that day just like this one all over Egypt, but this time the people decided “we’ve had enough” and we are still saying it. Revolution continues.

Brutal clashes took place today in Shobra, as police cracked down on Coptic protesters (joined by leftists and rights activists). There are around 15 activists kettled as I’m typing now, and at least five in police custody.

The Coptic church had a disgraceful role as always today trying to persuade the youth not to protest or attack the regime. The church continues to be a diffuser of dissent. But it’s clear the militancy and resistance of the young Copts cannot be easily contained.
