10th February
The news that Mubarak still sits in his ivory tower refusing to leave is typical of the arrogant position that dictators take. These dictators feel they have a divine right to rule and look where that got us in our regal history.
I have visited Egypt on a number of occasions on holiday and found them in the main a vibrant very youthful based set of communities , extremely friendly and struggling to make ends meet to keep their families fed , housed and educated.
Here again we in the West are just as guilty in supporting such regimes that are rotten to the core. the human rights abuses continue, the political prisoners of conscience remain behind bars. May democracy win and such tin pot dictators as Mubarak go.
stand in solidarity & defiance with the protestors.
We will stand with them in their demand for an end to the crackdown, for their freedom, their basic human rights and immediate reform.
There will be demonstrations, protests and stunts held in cities around the world, as well as online, so there are plenty of ways in which you can get involved.
