Egypt: Internet down, police counterterror unit up

EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION. LIVE REPORT. MINUTE FOR MINUTE. HOUR FOR HOUR..R..

EXTERNAL LINK

Just like the Iranians learned now the Eyptians are learning! Sure it's easy to take down a tiny government noone heard about or cares about...
But noone takes down a STRONG POWERFUL government!

Let that be a lesson to you who want a revolution in the US!







you betcha!

I'm longing to see how this turns out.. and eagerly waiting for any news reports.. BBC announced this curfew as breaking news a few minutes ago..

To the citizens of Egypt, good luck.. Make your stand, have your say and be heard.. Many others have fallen for less over the course of history...I hope the military choose their side, and their actions, wisely.

Egypt Expands Communications Blackout

Not only Internet access has been disrupted by government order in Egypt as protesters continue to clash with police in anti-government demonstrations. The Egyptian government's blackout extends to mobile phone operators, who have been ordered to suspend service in some areas.

"Under Egyptian legislation, the authorities have the right to issue such an order and we are obliged to comply," said a company representative of Vodafone, which runs a network there.

The cut-off of Internet access happened just after midnight, local time, according to Internet monitoring firm Renesys, when the largest Internet Service Providers operating out of the country stopped providing the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing information used to connect the rest of the world with computers in the Egypt.

You know actually Mubarak is a close friend to USA right?

The Army are being called onto the streets of Cairo

So here come the big guns. Curfew time means go time for everyone. All hell is about to break loose guys.

That was a lot of riot reinforcement rolling in. 1 more minute till curfew.

One of the army trucks is on fire.

Looks like a building too may be on fire.

Reports say the people/protestors have taken over Alexandria completely now

This is great.

Long live the voice of the people!

R.I.P to the boy shot in the head by the police in Cairo..
This is proof they not only use rubber bullets...

Authorities are losing control.

Egypt is the second worst Western backed fascist state in the Muslim world, behind Saudi Arabia, (Funny #1 terrorist is Osama from Saudi Arabia, #2 is Al-Zawahiri from Egypt - what a coincidence). Thousands of opponent leaders, supporters and candidates have been arrested without any charge, tortured, killed and mysteriously disappeared Egypt.

I'm kinda shocked you said Egypt is a Democracy lol.

CNN is streaming live video.
Launch the live player in the story window to view.
CNN

A good time for the Second Coming.. Or alien Intervention.

President Mubarak should be addressing the nation here shortly.

The address should be on the livestreams.

Unfortunately, much is cencosized I got a feeling of it, and I'm not only thinking about the blocking of internet here...
Looking on this violence there must be lots of more killings than we have seen..

My official newspaper in Sweden tells me the army only use Rubberbullets, water canons and batoons.
I personally believe this is bull#.

Seeing as Mubarak is allied 2 USA this is one interesting 'cencorised' revolution..
So take all information you hear and receieve here with that 'analyzing type of mind' folks.

Hopefully we will get more insider reports here that can be trusted soon...

Cheers!
