Just sickening.

Why is this post called Egyptian Elections Aftermath? There have been no elections. These are spontaneous protests (mostly inspired by the Tunisian protests) to remove their asshole of a dictator .

I was just going to ask.

There are tons but I've been mainly looking at these three.

The BBC one is useful because it has a clearly marked ticker of updates. (also, being the Beeb they don't post anything unless it's confirmed)

White house briefing's started...
chaya quick notes — 28th-Jan-2011 08:13 pm (UTC)
-Obama's PDB this morning was entirely on Egypt
-"we have... been in touch with the Egyptian govt... Obama has not spoken with them"
-"this is not about picking a person or about picking the people of the country... we are deeply concerned about the images and events that we see in Egypt today. We're monitoring this closely"
-both sides should refrain from violence
-Egypt should turn the internet and networking sites back on

Mmm, lip service from the White House.

Gibbs sounds really unprepared for this.
hazel_belle 28th-Jan-2011 08:17 pm (UTC)
I have a feeling that was a last minute thing that the Staff roped up, but he really does.
redstar826 28th-Jan-2011 08:18 pm (UTC)
goddamn, just got home but listening to NPR in my car, they were saying that there were protests in Jordan and Saudi Arabia too. I wonder how big this is going to get.
perfectisafault 28th-Jan-2011 08:20 pm (UTC)
mte. This has the potential to be fucking HUGE.
ladyumbra 28th-Jan-2011 08:19 pm (UTC)
This entire briefing is just the repeating of the words restraint, review and monitor. We get it the US can't actually do anything right now but be bystanders and condemn violence on either side.
teacup_werewolf 28th-Jan-2011 08:23 pm (UTC)
And in my opinion I don't think it's wise of us to flex our military anyway.
thecityofdis 28th-Jan-2011 08:22 pm (UTC)
I know it's sad and dangerous and whatever, but I can't get over how vivid and beautiful - in a twisted way - this photo from AJ is.



I am praying for just about every single person over there.

Guardian:

8.21pm GMT: "So the White House has called this press conference to convey with clarity and firmness its mixed feelings and uncertainty," tweets former Bush administration speechwriter Joshua Treviño.

Sounds about right, lol.

About traveling and Egypt: The last Delta flight will leave tomorrow. After that, travel to and from Egypt will be suspended indefinitely.

I'm taking a New Media class at university, and class last week EXPLODED with discussion of the use of new/social media in organizing protests/demonstrations and news-sharing. It's pretty unprecedented.

I'm taking a class on authoritarian regimes in the Middle East this semester, and I have never been so fucking pumped to show up for class. And I've always intensely loved school, haha.

What is it you're studying? Politics? That sounds amazing.

"The fate of Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak, his entire state apparatus, and that of the popular uprising confronting them now depends largely on the actions of his army and security forces, says BBC Security Correspondent Frank Gardner. This is the most serious popular challenge to his 30-year rule that anyone can remember, and if these protests continue and intensify there are bound to be senior voices within the military tempted to urge him to stand down."

The Onion. Twitter always sends me surprises.

Can anyone tell me how many causalities resulted from this?
