“The people have become the police.” - Jacky Rowland, Al Jazeera Reporter in Cairo.
On AJE: Nawara Negm, a journalist and activist, says police and security forces have taken off their uniforms to dress as civilians, ‘reeking havic…everywhere’ as a ‘last ditch attempt from Mubarak’. Negm says ‘every single youth in Egypt has joined civilian watch groups’ and are armed with sticks, in order to watch the neighborhood, protect their families, and protect their households. She says ‘anyone suspected to be from outside the neighborhood is stopped and searched’.
Referring to President Mubarak, she says, “This man has smashed our humanity.”

As police stations and ministry of interior installations continue to burn through the night in many of Egypt’s cities, the Arab World is waking up to a new dawn.
In more than 18 years of living in Cairo, I have never felt the sense of cautious hope that exists in Egypt now, particularly among young men and women who feel that for the first time in their lives they may actually be able to determine their own destinies.
Don’t stop until you have won, people of Egypt!

They are analyzing his speech right now.
My full support goes out to these people who are standing up against corruption, and trying to do something about it. They should be heroes to all.
