Day of Departure... Update from Egypt

February 4, 2011
"I just got back from Tahrir Square where hundreds of thousands of people were demonstrating peacefully..as we have always been doing,
in spite of all the violence we've been facing from the pro-regime people..aka the hired thugs, police, businessmen and the threatened government employees.

Parts of the square looked like a war zone, burnt, turned over cars used to shield the anti-government demonstrators from the attacks, makeshift helmets and shields, barbed wire, stones and broken glass from the Molotov cocktail attacks.

There are signs that there might be solutions to the situation soon but it's all very fragile at the moment.
We're all hoping that this will all be over soon without going back to square one..for the people who died for our freedom can't have died for nothing.

We're all still safe and doing our best to help the cause in any possible way, the death threat I got really shook me, I never thought that I would ever be threatened in that way and it was very, very real..just because I was trying to help the trapped and wounded people.
Fortunately, today was a relatively good day and spirits are high and there's still hope."

Our hopes and prayers are with all of your brave people.  Stand strong Egypt!
