This morning I had the chance to talk with an Egyptian here in Italy. He told me that he was in constant contact with his friends in Egypt and that the situation isn't exactly what it is reported in the news. I'm not so sure of what he says, but I'm not so sure that the journalists are understanding well what's happening. Let's say that the situation is fluid and the true is in the middle. Anyway the things will change.
One interesting thing that this Egyptian wanted to note is that they feel a nation. He said: "Even if we have been occupied by the British we till speak arab. In the other countries after short periods they started to speak French or what else". And he was proud of this. A thing not to underestimate.

My 2 cents of info.


I have no delusions of what could happen... a worse dictatorship, Islamic fundamentalists like the Taliban, a slaughter like Tiananmen Square or Iran. Still, it's nice to see people finally get pissed off enough to take matters into their own hands. It takes some bravery, and desperation, to throw a rock at a tank or show your face on camera to a regime that does what Mubarak's does just to be rid of it.


At least the army hasn't started a wholesale slaughter of the protesters - this is a very good sign.
