[quote:ºEATº:MV8xMzQ5MDM3XzIyMjM1NTgyXzI4NUEyQjhE] [quote:Johntaraz] If its civil war, shouldn't there be two sides/ethnic groups/regions within the country fighting? This seems to be millions of people protesting with some fighting now breaking out between some of the protesters and a group of government sympathizers/police. "Facts and Statistics Egypt Location: North East Africa bordering Palestine (Gaza Strip) 11 km, Israel 266 km, Libya 1,115 km, Sudan 1,273 km Capital: Cairo Climate: desert; hot, dry summers with moderate winters Population: 76,117,421 (July 2004 est.) Ethnic Make-up: [b]Eastern Hamitic stock (Egyptians, Bedouins, and Berbers) 99%, Greek, Nubian, Armenian, other European (primarily Italian and French) 1%[/b]Religions: Muslim (mostly Sunni) 94%, Coptic Christian and other 6% Government: republic" http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/global-etiquette/egypt-country-profile.html I expect that what started as a peaceful revolution has now crossed the threshold into violent revolution. [/quote] There is 2 sides to this civil war. The anti Mubarak camp and the pro Mubarak camp. Also, there is the Christian/Islam thing that will come into play, and like what happened in Lebanon... thousands of Christians will end up leaving Egypt over the next while. [/quote]
