In a sign that open defiance against authoritarian rulers is spreading, police also clashed with protesters in the Arabian Peninsula state of Yemen and Gabon in West Africa.

Police and demonstrators have fought running battles on the streets of Cairo in a fourth day of protests by tens of thousands of Egyptians demanding an end to president Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule.

Interestingly, there seems no animosity towards foreigners. Many journalists have been protected by the crowds and – despite America's lamentable support for the Middle East's dictators – there has not so far been a single US flag burned. That shows you what's new. Perhaps a people have grown up – only to discover that their ageing government are all children.

Fuck me, looks like the whole regions destabilising...

Good for them. I hope they get a nice new society.

There may not have been a single US flag burned, but there's still plenty of animosity towards the Americans which is not surprising, to say the least.

WikiLeaks: Qataris say Egyptians "blame America" for troubles

Berlin - Egyptian citizens fault Washington for their stagnated political situation, Qatari leaders told senior United States officials in early 2010.

'The Egyptian 'people blame America' now for their plight. The shift in mood on the ground is 'mostly because of Mubarak and his close ties to the United States,' a leaked US diplomatic cable reported.

Hosni Mubarak, our man in Cairo: Egypt's protesters have grown impatient with U.S. realism

CAIRO - Last night, as the second day of popular demonstrations that have gripped huge chunks of downtown Cairo and beyond continued past dusk, a hundreds-strong crowd outside the Lawyers Syndicate suddenly swapped slogans.

After hours of chanting, "usqut, usqut ya Mubarak!" - "Fall, fall Mubarak!" - they turned their tongues toward another target: "Mubarak 'ameel American!" - "Mubarak is an American agent!"

It remains unclear where these demonstrations are heading and what their long-term implications will be. But there remains one long-term certainty: Someday, President Hosni Mubarak will either retire or die. And when this happens, he will leave behind approximately 80 million constituents, many of whom will blame the United States for backing his brutal rule even in its most unsympathetic moments.

And the blame game is already starting.

Biden says: Egypt's Mubarak an Ally, Not a Dictator, But People Have Right to Protest



Yeah, the ruler of a police state makes premium ally material. Keeps thing nice and quiet and that's what Joe looks for, as it seems.

Israeli Minister: Mubarak regime will prevail in Egypt, despite protests

Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom said Thursday that the government is closely watching the situation in Egypt.

"Egypt is the most important country in the Arab world. Egypt has a peace treaty with Israel and we think that the treaty, that the peace treaty with Israel is very strong and the (mutual) interests between the two countries are very, very big and important," he said. "For the time being," he added, "Israel does not see a threat to those relations."

Eli Shaked, a former Israeli ambassador to Cairo, said it is in Israel's interest for Mubarak's regime to survive since the alternatives, ranging from an Islamic government to the secular opposition, would be far less friendly to the Jewish state.

No wonder why the Egyptians don't like Israel. The Israeli officials even reject the prospect of a secular regime in Egypt.

Timon has probably got the shakes now as he can't watch anymore porn with the net being down, that's probably why there are so many rioters on the streets, they want their internet access back.

No wonder why the Egyptians don't like Israel. The Israeli officials even reject the prospect of a secular regime in Egypt.

The Israelis are openly opposed to democracy in the middle east:

Time magazine talks to "a minister in the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu," and reports that Israel appears to be backing the Mubarak regime:

With a deep investment in the status quo, Israel is watching what a senior official calls "an earthquake in the Middle East" with growing concern. The official says the Jewish state has faith in the security apparatus of its most formidable Arab neighbor, Egypt, to suppress the street demonstrations that threaten the dictatorial rule of President Hosni Mubarak. The harder question is what comes next.

But this was the most eye-catching quote from the unidentified minister:

"I'm not sure the time is right for the Arab region to go through the democratic process."

maybe the Egyptians should wait another 300 years?

It seems it is an organic movement and not staged. But the CIA will try hijack it. Thats why they shut down the entire internet in the country. Yes the "kill switch" exists and can happen here.

You keep pushing people to the brink and they will revolt. Good on the Egyptian people. I just hope they get someone grassroots to replace the scum in their Government so their country can flourish.

My best wishes are with the Egyptian people fighting these corrupt scum New World Order puppets.

It's spread to Jordan:

Thousands of people in Jordan have taken to the streets in protests, demanding the country's prime minister step down, and the government curb rising prices, inflation and unemployment.

In the third consecutive Friday of protests, about 3,500 opposition activists from Jordan's main Islamist opposition group, trade unions and leftist organisations gathered in the capital, waving colourful banners reading: "Send the corrupt guys to court".
