No Internet In Egypt

Ok something crazy bad that happened. Adams friend Mohamed that he grew up with was guarding the flat with some other guys and some bad guys came in a car and came to get to the flat and to fight them. He and some of the guys guarding the flat got into it with them, one bad guy got stabbed in the stomach and died and another guy they stabbed in the back and hes just injured and they are keeping the other guy like arrested. Mohamed and his neighbors are trying to reach the army to get them to come over but they cant reach them. This is in Alexandria. Mohamed just told Adam... I've never killed anyone in my life until tonight

I'm soo sorry your good friend is having to live like this. May God protect all your friends, family and loved ones!!

A few updates if you haven't heard.........

CNN annonced that The US Embassy in Cairo is Closed .

Delta Air Lines Inc suspended service to Cairo indefinitely amid the civil unrest in Egypt. The U.S. government is offering evacuation flights to Europe for American citizens who want to get out of Egypt.

The State Department is prepared to evacuate thousands of U.S. citizens from Egypt on chartered planes.

My Hopes.....

I hope tomorrow will bring the annoncement of President Mubarak saying Goodbye to the Egyptian people.

I hope everyone has gotten in touch with your loved one's and that they're fine.

May God Bless Everyone In Egypt through these difficult days and the days ahead.

Hello, I talked with Hany and he told me that in Ismailia things were better but they were trying to find food. He went to work and they told him to return home for today. He said he had been watching alot of TV. I will be calling him later today to check in. The best to everyone

Thanks for the pictures of the stuff going on here. By the way, UmmSqueaker, just as I saw your post I had Al Jazeera's live feed up in another window and a man in Cairo was holding a very similar sign, except instead of dates identifying the US president by number...

LaL, Adam and I didnt make it down there either, but we our friends Sandy and Maged which live about an hour from Houston went. It was both of their first time to do that! I wish we could have made it down there with them!

I had originally seen the sign at a protest early last week and copied it. It's too good of a message to pass up!

Latest via twitter is either that the last ISP has been shut down, or will soon be shut down. Another internet blackout coming?

Gee, it worked so well the last time, let's do it again!

So I suppose they don't care about their stock exchange. Brilliant.
