But of course. One of my Muslim friends is my doorman, he has a gun, and he's very protective of me. I'll check back in to see what the situation is like in the morning. Ideally, it will have calmed down - although I don't think people are going to give up that easily. The next best thing? A day off! Yay for a day off!

This is a very big deal. Stay safe with your kitteh. Kitteh says it's time for bed. Funny, these Egyptian kittehs. They have this idea they're worth worshiping or something. Mine is not Egyptian but she thinks that i have to worship her all the time when she's awake and sleeps most of the time, it's how kittehs are methinks, at least i taught her to massage my back for a game. :) Egyptian kittehs are a bit bigger than the typical western domestic one, still beautiful kittehs. |

Today's events are strictly internal among Egyptians, concerning an edict President Morsi put out giving himself dictatorial powers. He declared himself to be above judicial review. A council of judges has vocally opposed this. The general populous is rising up against Morsi, and to lesser degree, against the Muslim Brotherhood which pretty much installed him. This internal political strife, not religious or ethnic conflict. Few, if any, Palestinians or Jewish people are involved. This is not about Gaza.

Egypt just signed a deal for a fat loan package from the IMF, but there are other monies thrown in from other countries and if that goes, the whole deal is gone.

After, the launch of a hot debate started between Egyptian Twitter users and the embassy. Many Twitter users expressed their anger towards the United States' stance on democracy, yet the state has supported the Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi administration. "Please stop supporting the fascist Muslim Brotherhood. We used to think the US were supporters of Democracy. Now prove it!" Osama ElBatrik @OBatrik tweeted in response to the US Embassy tweet. The US Embassy Cairo tweeted in return: "We don’t support them." "We want to see the constitutional process in #Egypt move forward in a way that does not overly concentrate power in one set of hands," the US Embassy Cairo also tweeted. Another reaction was by Iaskmaie @maii who stated via Twitter, "Liar Liar pants (& ass) on fire." Furthermore, the US Embassy Cairo account denied the accusation of being a liar, asking the Twitter user to open a dialogue if she wants. [link to english.ahram.org.eg] And related imo to what's going on now... [link to www.bikyamasr.com] [link to english.ahram.org.eg] IMF will not grant Egypt loan without tough reforms: UK official Remember, IMF loan was approved November 20th, just 2 days before President Morsi issued that controversial decree. I keep reading on news tickers that IMF says it will not give the loan to Egypt if there's a change in policy. Hmmmm..... |

Yes, they called it off because they didn't want clashes to happen. Lets see what happens til Saturday, the way things go here it changes every second almost, lol. IF they do the protest, it will most likely be at a different location (at least I hope so). |
