Under pressure from protesters:
Egyptian state television has begun broadcasting live coverage of the corruption trials of officials who served under President Hosni Mubarak.
Scheduled programmes were interrupted to show former Information Minister Anas al-Fiqi and the former head of state TV, Usamah al-Sheikh, in court.
There has to be an official youtube channel where the trials are posted online too.
And of course the Tunisian government is behaving exactly like our SCAF and Essam Sharaf.
Tunisia’s prime minister on Monday accused protesters who held a wave of demonstrations over the weekend of plotting to destabilize the country, six months after the revolution that inspired the Arab Spring.
I wish the Tunisians all the luck in continuing their revolution. Both in Tunisia and Egypt, the old regimes are alive and well. Our mission is not yet accomplished.
