The police have pulled back and the speculation was "let'em burn it down and they'll come crawling back". Of course after seeing them dancing on the tops of apc's and tanks I'm not so sure.. Something is going to have to come out of this.

Seems the riot police aren't bothering any more and the army are keeping control pretty well without resorting to violence. They're just flying a helicopter about to show a presence.
Hilary Clinton seems to be supporting the protesters from what I can read.
e: might seem crazy but I think a military or police govt. would solve the power vacuum problem until they can sort out some form of election. Risks the army taking control though and just setting up another dictator

I'd type my pc specs out all fancy again but teh mods would remove it. Again.
He'll leave soon enough. So will the power vacuum. What did happen - and is quite pleasant in itself - is that the people finally took matters in their own hands.11 Bravo wrote:

no they really have not. rioting and looting is not taking matters into your own hands.
Rioting and looting is an essential part of making the omelet. What is more alarming is that these people primarily define themselves in religious terms. For something genuinely good to come out of all this, the religious part of the equation needs to be undermined.

Well, I agree with the "religious part needs to be undermined" part. If Egypt, Tunisia, or Yemen become anything like Iran, they'll be jumping straight into an even more oppressive system of government.JohnG@lt wrote:

Good luck with knives, axes, golf clubs, firebombs, metal bars and makeshift spears, But if the Government can't trust the people. . .With Police Absent, Egyptians Arm Themselves to Protect Neighborhoods.
Civilians armed with knives, axes, golf clubs, firebombs, metal bars and makeshift spears watched over many neighborhoods in the sprawling capital of 18 million this weekend, defending their families and homes against widespread looting and lawlessness.
Sounds familiar. . .The thugs had exploited the chaos created by the largest anti-government protests in decades and the military failed to fill the vacuum left by police.
On Saturday, the army sent out an appeal for citizens to help.
Don't think it never happened here or never will again. It will probably play out in the next few hours. It seems like the worst is past. I fear many people will ' disappear' if the regime stays in power. If it does not I think blood will run for years on end and spread across borders. This could be the start of something very big - Global even. I hope not."The military encourages neighborhood youth to defend their property and their honor," it said in a statement.
On Sunday, joint teams of civilians and military were patrolling, some with guard dogs.
Mohammed Gafaar, a 34-year old salesman in the Nasr City area, said his neighborhood watch organized soon after the night curfew went into force at 4 p.m. They did it at the behest of residents, who appealed for protection of their property, sending out the call from the local mosque.
"I feel betrayed by the police," said Gaafar, who had carried rocks, a stick and a firebomb in a soda bottle. "They have to be tried for the protesters they killed and for their treason. They left the country to be looted. I am angry at the regime."

Why haven't some C5's landed and gotten our citizens out?

That would require a Military presence on the Ground, and how would the people get to the Airports ?
I don't think we are going to see ' tough calls ' like that being made. Just my guess.

I have a friend who was there a couple of days ago. She got out just before the riots started. She was so darn lucky!
