Memorable Protest Signs

Egyptians' sense of humour rises above all. Even at hard times, & something big as a Revolution, this is what brings them through, this is what makes them unique :D

"My new address, Tahrir Square"

"Egypt, We're your children" "Thank you Mubarak, you brought us together. Now, leave!"
"Leave already, my arms hurt ."



"Leave, I wanna get married"





Protesting on cutting off the internet !!

Glimpses of the Revolt



For the first time in a very long while, the Egyptian flag is raised for its true purpose, - & not mere football games' cheering- " Which BTW,I was totally against"

Freedom & Prosperity of the Land.




The ugly face of the regime has been finally exposed to the entire world, suppressing the protesters with everything they could,

Tear Gas


Water " even while peacfully praying"



Rubber bullets and live ones

And one must mention here, that the tear gas was "expired"!!



It was a simaltaneous attack all over the country.

"Cairo"


"Suez"


"Alexandria"
This is a statue of Alexander the Great,
behind him, now that was smoke!! Huge fires were set off to keep protesters at bay.



In Tahrir Square,a mosque has been turned into a field hospital.


Police forces were actually stunned, for it was the first time in 20 years or more that protesters has gone rebellious and didn't just give up & go home,
for 4 consecutive days. (Tues 25th- Fri 28t)
By which then the Police has myseriously "disappeared", from all the governorates, and those uniforms weren't seen on the streets even till the moment I'm typing this.
A few has been down to some traffic areas, but Egypt still has some serious internal security issues.



On the night of Fri the 28th, Day of Rage,
major govermental buildings were set on fire by thugs ..that were later on found to be belonging to the ruling party who were trying to terrorise the citezens in a sick way to let them feel how safe they felt just 5 days ago before the people has gone rebellious, -or rather have finally woken up in my opinion-.
Just to prove how sick this scheme was, they have even set out prisoners and opened the gun storage for them & told them " Spread out & go Wild "!!
"Cairo on fire"
But as I said, People have finally woken up... try as they may,
there was no turning back.


the revolution has been ignited.....
Hint: Most of the Revoluton pics are not my personal, .
