| "Pro-Mubarek Demonstration" WE WERE DENIED OUR OWN DEMONSTRATION IN TAHRIR so we moved it to Mohandiseen CLICK HERE * Lots of great pictures, new info * BEING WARNED VIA TEXT by the ARMED FORCES * IRANIAN WAR SHIPS in the Suex * But, Egyptians finally got to express their sadness via chanting, banners, etc. |
| "Police Day" (a national holiday) turns into the "Day of Anger". The beginning. (CLICK HERE) * Info about what Police Day stood for * How it turned into riots, looting, fear * How my neighborhood formed a neighborhood watch and was given 2 moltov cocktails and a billy club by the military to protect myself. * I also filmed rioters breaking into a police station and releasing all prisoners |
| "Who Are the So-Called "Pro-Mubareks?" (CLICK HERE) * They are not the way they were portrayed in the news * Even pop and film stars spoke out and created songs for Mubarek * Good photo of a military man crying when Mubarek resigned |
| "The Day Mubarek Resigned" (CLICK HERE) * It was the opposite as to what was shown on tv * The average Egyptian wept in sadness * Fear of extremists, etc. without Mubarek's world-type leadership * RE: corruption (what a joke) * What the Imams were saying * My first visit to Tahrir after the destruction (photos: tanks, NP headquarters, AUC) |
| "Demonstration of Feb 25, 2011" After watching the news showing violence in Tahrir-- yet receiving phone calls from many friends who were there and saying: "You've got to come see for yourself--its a party and fun" . . . we joined it. (CLICK HERE) * Lots of interesting photos * More of a carnival atmosphere with people from the country-side coming just to 'look' * Military at the bridge--wouldn't let me through at first * Essam and I got separated when he tried to talk 'pro' Mubarek--some frightening moments for us * Lots of singing, dancing in the streets that had nothing to do with the movement--just plain fun--but the opposite of what they showed on tv when we got home! |

| Goes in order as it happened, i.e. most recent update at bottom. For a MAP of Cairo, the island of Zamelek (where I live) and to orient yourself with Tahrir, the bridges, etc. (CLICK HERE) |
| Over the years I've taken some good pictures during prayers when they put their head to the ground and their butts in the air--its kind of a funny site (if you have a warped sense of humor like me--and take the photo from 'behind'). But my hubby freaks every time I threaten to put one of my butt photos on my website, hence here is a normal site every Friday of unity and brotherhood (but no butts) |
