EGYPT  ON THE  EDGE
EGYPT ON THE EDGE  Egypt Death Toll Passes 100 As Protests Continue  'WHAT WE HAVE BEGUN CANNOT GO BACK'  Tens Of Thousands Defy Curfew..  ElBaradei Addresses Massive Crowd..  Military Jets Circle Above  U.S. Embassy Urges Americans To Leave..  Al Jazeera Banned..  Police Return To Cairo Streets..  Hundreds Of Judges Join Protests..  Obama Calls For 'Orderly Transition'.. Gangs of armed men attacked at least four jails across Egypt before dawn Sunday, helping to free hundreds of Muslim militants and thousands of other inmates as police vanished from the streets of Cairo and other cities. The U.S. Embassy in Cairo told its citizens in Egypt to consider leaving the country as soon as possible, and said it had authorized the voluntary departure of dependents and non-emergency employees, a display of Washington's escalating concern about the stability of its closest Arab ally. Al Jazeera was ordered to shut down in Cairo. According to Reuters, more than 100 have died since the protests began. The army sent hundreds more troops and armored vehicles onto the streets of Cairo and other cities but appeared to be taking little action against gangs of young men with guns and large sticks who were smashing cars and robbing people. At least one Nile-side shopping mall in Cairo was on fire after being looted the previous day. The Arab world's most populous nation appeared to be swiftly moving closer to a point at which it either dissolves into widespread chaos or the military expands its presence and control of the streets. The demonstrators from all segments of Egyptian society have taken to the streets for nearly a week calling for President Hosni Mubarak, 82, to step down. Mubarak named his intelligence chief, former army general Omar Suleiman, to the new role of vice president on Saturday, a move that perpetuated the overriding role of military men in Egyptian politics. Many people have set up private vigilante groups in front of their homes…. People are afraid. This is no longer just a political movement with protesters on the streets, but there is a basic collapse of law and order

Egypt on the Edge

  • 1. EGYPT ON THE EDGE
  • 2. EGYPT ON THE EDGE Egypt Death Toll Passes 100 As Protests Continue 'WHAT WE HAVE BEGUN CANNOT GO BACK' Tens Of Thousands Defy Curfew.. ElBaradei Addresses Massive Crowd.. Military Jets Circle Above U.S. Embassy Urges Americans To Leave.. Al Jazeera Banned.. Police Return To Cairo Streets.. Hundreds Of Judges Join Protests.. Obama Calls For 'Orderly Transition'.. Gangs of armed men attacked at least four jails across Egypt before dawn Sunday, helping to free hundreds of Muslim militants and thousands of other inmates as police vanished from the streets of Cairo and other cities. The U.S. Embassy in Cairo told its citizens in Egypt to consider leaving the country as soon as possible, and said it had authorized the voluntary departure of dependents and non-emergency employees, a display of Washington's escalating concern about the stability of its closest Arab ally. Al Jazeera was ordered to shut down in Cairo. According to Reuters, more than 100 have died since the protests began. The army sent hundreds more troops and armored vehicles onto the streets of Cairo and other cities but appeared to be taking little action against gangs of young men with guns and large sticks who were smashing cars and robbing people. At least one Nile-side shopping mall in Cairo was on fire after being looted the previous day. The Arab world's most populous nation appeared to be swiftly moving closer to a point at which it either dissolves into widespread chaos or the military expands its presence and control of the streets. The demonstrators from all segments of Egyptian society have taken to the streets for nearly a week calling for President Hosni Mubarak, 82, to step down. Mubarak named his intelligence chief, former army general Omar Suleiman, to the new role of vice president on Saturday, a move that perpetuated the overriding role of military men in Egyptian politics. Many people have set up private vigilante groups in front of their homes…. People are afraid. This is no longer just a political movement with protesters on the streets, but there is a basic collapse of law and order
