The chant is íÓÞØ íÓÞØ ÍÓäí ãÈÇÑß
Tell the world he is killing us
As the Sun rises in Cairo on the tenth day of the Egyptian
uprising, the protesters opposed to the government of
Hosni Mubarak still hold Tahrir Liberation Square. They
still hold it in spite of a night of horrific violence by
pro-Mubarak thugs that attacked the peaceful protesters
with machine guns, other guns and fire bombs. Overwhelming
evidence is already mounting that this murderous gang was
composed of police in plain clothes, NDP functionaries and
loyalist and hired thugs. The army, which in previous days
made sure all the protesters that entered the square were
unarmed, stood by and did nothing while the assault took
place.
The goal of the thugs was to drive the protesters from the
square. In this they were not successful.
The price these freedom fighters, men, women and children,
have paid so far is high. As I write this, the number of
dead is being put at 5, but since over 800 are reported
injured, the number of deaths is likely to rise. One
witness said she saw seven bodies.
But they held! They held that now bloody
ground which is the symbol of their fight against a tyrant
and now a beacon for the liberation of all humanity.
When night falls, the thugs will strike again.
Unless while the Sun is still shining on Cairo, the
pressure of the people of the world can be brought to bear
to make Mubarak call off his thugs. The U.S. bankrolls the
Egyptian military to the tune of $1.3 billion USD a year.
President Obama can make him call off the thugs so
pressure should be put on him too.
You should make it your mission for the next 24 hours to
make sure your voice is heard and tell
Mubarak, Call Off Your Thugs!
Here is one thing you can easily do for starters. Sign
this
petition
and retweeted it to tell President Obama
"to Stop
all Aid to the Mubarak Regime and Condemn its Violence"
Other campaigns and protests will be forming up
shortly so stay tuned.
In Solidarity,
