There is a tense stand-off in the Egyptian capital's main square, after fights broke out between supporters and opponents of beleaguered President Hosni Mubarak. Thousands of the president's supporters had surged into Cairo's Tahrir Square, dismantling barricades set up by anti-Mubarak groups. It followed a call by the army for protesters to return home after nine days of anti-government demonstrations led Mr Mubarak to pledge he would not stand for re-election in September.

Mubarak has to go, his days are numbered. But he is not Ben Ali. His name rings the bell in the Middle East. And beyond.
They owe him an honorable exit. As he said in his speech, "I'm not gonna die in a foreign country". And that I support entirely.
BBC
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Wed Feb 02, 2011 06:27 AM PSTI had a long drive and listened to BBC for 2 hours covering Egypt the whole time. The BBC was totally on the side of the protesters. They were not reporting rather providing opinion. And their opinion is very much one sided.
Now I am not a Mubarak supporter. He is a dictator and IMHO has to go. But if you want to report you don't put words in people's mouth. BBC is doing exactly what it did in Iran. They are actively promoting an anti-Mubarak revolution.
I am not sure what their goal is. Or where they get their marching orders from. But after this "reporting" they would have lost all credibility to me. The only problem is that they have already lost credibility with me so there was nothing to lose.
People are slowly coming to realize
by Rea on Wed Feb 02, 2011 06:02 AM PST"People's power" needs to be focused, needs a voice. Yet to see one.
PS. unless there is a voice, "people" turns into a mob.

The Army is on the Sidelines Not interfering ...
The BBC has a different take and say's that the Army does not interfere but when people in the crowd seek safety from the violence in the street, the Army gives them custody.
