Recommend Mothership thread, please.
UPDATE: Getting conflicted reports about Tahrir Square, and military activity. Protests ongoing at 2 AM Egypt time.
UK’s The Guardian newspaper is now reporting that Egyptian police are siding with the protesters. This is exactly how Tunisia fell to democratic forces. We are now seeing the same shift occur in Egypt.
“[The Regime] is already falling. It can’t stop.” Said a State Journalist to Jack Shenker, a reporter for the Guardian.
This comes on the heels of the news that El Baradei, one of the regime’s most famous opponents, has been taken into custody.
This is the biggest political shakeup since the fall of the Warsaw pact. The protests have moved out of Tunisia, the protesters are winning in Egypt. Yemen and Lebanon are expected to see further protests today. The Anonymous hacking group is planning to make attacks against Algerian government websites.
I will continue to update this Diary as the news moves forward.
OllieGarkey’s diary :: ::
- Update Scarce posted the audio report.
Update:
The police have now given up fighting the protesters. The police and protesters are now talking, with protesters bringing water and vinegar (for teargas) to the police. Afternoon prayer has just been called and hundreds are praying in front of the mosque in east Alexandria.
The reason for the protesters bringing vinnegar and water to the police is because of posters distributed on twitter. I was in the Anonymous command center yesterday while hackers changed targets. Last night all of Egypt was under a total telecom blackout. The only information getting out was through western journalists with satellite phones. Anonymous had been making Denial of Service attacks on Egyptian websites. There was only one internet service provider still running in Egypt. It made no sense to continue attacks on websites that were already down, and attacking the very ISP providing the world with information would be counterproductive, so Anonymous began setting up a mass Tor Relay to get information out of Egypt once internet services began coming back up, bypassing censorship completely.
Other activities included getting this poster translated into arabic, and distributed on social media sites.
Anyone who wants to help with Tor Relaying can go to Mibbit and join the IRC channel #OpEgypt.
