Mubarak sends in army

   Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has assembled the army and he also announced a curfew in all 28 governorates in the country. The reason of this decision is due to the protesters rampaged through the street of the major cities.

 

   In the capital Cairo, the protestors destroy the infrastructures to show their anger. They poured the mosques, throwing the stones and torching the police stations as the police try to catch them by batons, firing tears gas and rubber bullets.

   As the prevail of violence, Mustafa al-Fekki, National Democratic Party (NDP) member and the chairman of parliament’s foreign affairs committee have mentioned that the security forces alone would not stop the revolution in Egypt, the reformation was more necessary.

   Mubarak and his government have shown no cue of concession to the protesters who want the political reform. In another development, the internet still maintains the cut off situation in Cairo. Cell phone text services were all stopping function and this appeared as a step to disrupt the organization of demonstrations.

   These are all about the HUMAN RIGHT. People need a better protection and they expect that the government at least will listen to their opinions so that there will be no inner-war. The protesters did everything to hold their human right. They hoped that the government will listen to them, reconsider, and if possible or necessary reform the government structure. However, the violence action of them turned everything into disasters and became a tragedy not only for the country and also their family right now. But from my point of view, the most important thing is the protesters should have think another good and safe ways or methods to show their rights instead of madly destroying everything around them.
