CAIRO (AP) — President Hosni Mubarak imposed a night curfew and signaled he was about to send the military out in the streets for the first time to quell an unprecedented challenge to his regime by tens of thousands of protesters who rioted on Friday. One demonstrator was killed and even a Nobel Peace laureate was placed under house arrest after joining the protests.
State television said the curfew would be in force from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. in Cairo, the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria and the flashpoint city of Suez east of the capital. It said the military will work in tandem with the police to enforce the ban.
It was the most drastic measure so far to quell daily riots and protests that began Tuesday and spiraled into chaos on Friday after noon prayers.
Groups of thousands of protesters, some chanting “out, out, out,” defied a ban on any gatherings and turned out at different venues across Cairo, a city of about 18 million people. Some marched toward major squares and across scenic Nile bridges. Burning tires sent up plumes of black smoke across the cityscape as the sun set.
Security officials said there were protests in at least 11 of the country’s 28 provinces.
It was a major escalation in the movement that began on Tuesday to demand 82-year-old Mubarak’s ouster and vent rage at years of government neglect of rampant poverty, unemployment and rising food prices. Security officials said protesters ransacked the headquarters of Mubarak’s ruling party in the cities of Mansoura north of Cairo and Suez, east of the capital.
Some of the most serious violence Friday was in Suez, where protesters seized weapons stored in a police station and asked the policemen inside to leave the building before they burned it down. They also set ablaze about 20 police trucks parked nearby. Demonstrators exchanged fire with policemen trying to stop them from storming another police station and one protester was killed in the gun battle.
The death brought the toll of those killed in four days of protests to eight.

Posted on January 28, 2011 at 1:30pmWe the people give Egypt 3 billion a year. Egypt receives the second largest sum of taxpayers money next to Israel. Egypt, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Western Europe, Middle Eastern partners, enemies etc… should be paying us for military protection not America borrowing money to pay them. America is the first empire in the history of the world to do this.
It makes me wonder if we are just a cash cow for the Internationale. In other words, we lost our independence years ago! And we talk about spending cuts, what a joke. One day we will celebrate a new Independence Day, representing our independence from the Internationale!

Posted on January 28, 2011 at 11:44amYes, just like the sixties. The communists were behind that then and can’t be far off now. My sister worked for the govt and knew a lot that wasn’t being reported. That’s why when Bambo won, I was very afraid this would start all over again. I lived in NJ at the time, close enough to Newark where so much went down. I went to school with a guy who lived in Newark. They slept on the floor to be safe from the snipers shooting through the windows. Parts of Newark looked like Europe after WWI.

Posted on January 28, 2011 at 11:32amThis is the Muslim Brotherhood, the ‘radicalized’ religion of peace. Hezbollah wants to take over Egypt so that it can get to Israel. Right now Egypt keeps the southern border of Israel somewhat ‘safe’. But if Egypt is turned over to the CHAOS seekers then Israel is a sitting duck.
Israel is NOT the aggressor despite the left claims. The British mandate after WWI gave a huge portion to Israel but 80 % of it went to the Arabs before 1948. That became the nation of Jordan and others. Later the Jews gave up another 60%.
There have ALWAYS been Jewish communities in Israel, even since the Ottoman’s took control. The Arabs promised their brothers living in the new Jewish nation to leave in 1948 and then wouldn’t let them in their countries. There is no ‘Palestinian People’. Both Arabs and Jews lived there for centuries. The Jews paid the absent Arab landlords for the land they have and have developed. This was a setup to make the Arabs the victims, just as they are doing in Europe and here.
The left protects them because they mistakenly believe that when the Muslims have overturned governments, the Globalist Marxist can then get rid of them. But, will they be able to??????????

Posted on January 28, 2011 at 11:16amEgypt has a low literacy rate and a high poverty rate. The Muslim Brotherhood began in 1924 in Egypt, to rebuilt the caliphate after the Allies defeated the Ottoman Empire in WWI. The MB would probably win any election. None of this is good.
The hope for Egypt and other “Islamic” countries is that they remember their true history. Egypt was one of the first Christian countries before Islam invaded.
This historic interview on Israel National Radio shines light on the Pre-Abrahamic history of the “Middle-East” and exposes Islam for the reconstituted Baal worship under the guise of a pseudo-monotheistic “religion” that it is.

Posted on January 28, 2011 at 11:29amThese are protests against authoritarian rule just as in Tunisia and last year in Iran. Yes there are islamist groups that will take advantage of the confusion to try to take power and some may succeed. But memory of the ability to oust the ruling authority will make any authoritarian replacement regime tenuous.
Report Post »We certainly should hope for peaceful transistions as much as possible, but this is the regional transformation we were trying to promote by establishing democratic rule in Iraq. We have allowed the leftist anti-war protesters to obscure the fact that the death toll in Iran and Afghanistan have been relatively low for civil wars.

when will we realize, that these people need to figure out their government on their own,
when they get tired of dictatorship , let them overthrow it their own way, we should remain silent,
when the radical muslims hijack this democratic movement ,and they get tired of theocracy, we should remain silent while they hunt down and weed out the radical elements THEMSELVES……..
the problem now is, instead of the us remaining silent, our politicians have been taking sides for years to get temporary political or strategic gains at the expense of the egyptian people,
