Pro-democracy protesters call for 20 million Egyptians to march tomorrow after Friday prayers.

[Matariki]

TWENTY MILLION! How in the world can anyone in their right mind stubbornly stand against that. It's really inspiring to see.

1. If you can get 20 million in the streets...anywhere in the world....

You can do anything you want.

[Matariki]

2. That's a quarter of the population

That would be something. Even a couple million should have sensible people making real concessions.

7. They had a couple million last week.

[Matariki]

14. I just read 7 million. That's SEVEN million. Jesus.

Across the whole country, not just Cairo. But still... wow.

This is a great article from Robert Fisk, btw

[Bragi]

15. Fisk is on fire! /nt

[Matariki]

16. Indeed. That was an amazing article today.

[tekisui]

17. Wow!!! Everyone should read that article.

Great analysis and narrative.

3. If they manage even half of that it'll still be incredible. (nt)

4. The one advantage to having so many people attending Mosque at the same time is

When services finish (at the same time) you have all those people out and on the streets at the same moment.
So, millions can go from prayers to the protests

[Poboy]

19. Yes, good strategy.

5. K&R...n/t

6. This is real trouble. Every despot in the ME is backing HM. they

are simply not going to let democracy happen.

[Raksha]

9. I suppose some whackjob can always nuke Tahrir Square,

otherwise I don't see how they can stop it.

8. K&R Let's get this on DU's homepage, it needs as much publicity as possible as there's no other news

about it yet. Not in English, anyway.

10. I wonder if HM has done the math about how long security can hold

off twenty million people when they all want to see him hang.

I loan him my calculator if he needs one.

[Turborama]

18. Thanks! If the media won't report on it, it's up to us.

I'm new to Twitter and can't believe I left it so long. I was worried it would take up more of my time, but I'm just having to multitask more, is all.

:hi:

BTW what's your Twitter name?

[Dappleganger]

20. You've got it.
