Egyptians fight for their rights

Just knew last night about the chaos in Egypt. It was in Cairo, Alexandria, and Suez. My brother is studying in Cairo, with hundreds of other Malaysia students and also in Alexandria. The citizens of Egypt could not stand it anymore with the lack of jobs, poverty and increase of goods, so they stood up and fight for their right by demanding the president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, after 30 years ruling, to step down.


The president promise them with new cabinets and better enhancement. But that's not what they want. They want him DOWN. The damage was massive, death toll is increasing, thousands were hurt but the president wont back down.The crackdown on protesters has drawn harsh criticism from the Obama administration and even a threat Friday to reduce a $1.5 billion foreign aid program if Washington's most important Arab ally escalates the use of force. Because their stock market has had a sharp fall and it was the worse since 6 months ago. No wonder...


In Cairo, curfew has been implemented in order to keep people safe. Connection such as internet,sms has been blocked with reason protesters wont create chaotic situation in the internet, which makes it hard to know whether they are doing fine or not.


It has been said these demonstration is one of the worst that has ever happen. May Egypt finds the way out and may our loves one there are in safe condition. Amiiiiiin
