Egyptian Google exec is 'ready to die' for change
From Ivan Watson, CNN
February 9, 2011 -- Updated 1642 GMT (0042 HKT)

Video

Cairo, Egypt (CNN) -- Egyptian Google executive Wael Ghonim is "ready to die" to bring change to Egypt, he said Wednesday.

In an exclusive interview with CNN, Ghonim also said it is "no longer the time to negotiate" with the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

...

Ghonim appealed to top officials in the Egyptian government, saying "If you are true Egyptians, if you are heroic Egyptians, it's time to step down."

...

As he walked down the streets of his upscale neighborhood Wednesday, clutching a laptop, passersby recognized him and ran up to kiss him on the cheek and embrace him. A taxi driver stopped his car in traffic, got out and hugged the 30-year-old executive. Another driver handed a cell phone to Ghonim and asked him to say a few words to his daughter.

...

CIB creates youth-driven fund, CI Capital's Karim Helal talks economy


Helal said, “Egypt is not going to be the same.”

By Amira Salah-Ahmed/Daily News Egypt February 10, 2011, 12:09 am
CAIRO: “Egypt is going to end up stronger, freer, a better place to do business and more attractive ,” Karim Helal, Group CEO of CI Capital, told Daily News Egypt.

The immediate effect will be a short-term lull as investors pause to see how ongoing protests will play out, but at the same time, “there are already people calling wanting to see what they can invest in now,” he added.

Muhanad Awad, CFO of Al Hokair Group — undertaking the construction of Mall of Arabia — said that the group’s “investments are safe in Egypt,” adding that they “just transferred cash to Egypt to boost equity for construction of projects here.”

As mass nationwide protests calling for the ouster of the current regime continue into week three, businesses have been slowly coming back online since Sunday after several days of a complete economic standstill.

Twitter apparently can't keep up. I'd noticed my own Timeline wasn't updating, and when I refreshed the page I got random results, some really old tweets.

It seems to be working slightly better now, but not back to normal.

Don't you believe a word of that.

update on Bahrain
A comrade in Bahrain sent me this:
"Dear Asa'ad (please do not quote name).

You are aware that there have been mass calls for protest on 14 February in Bahrain. We have turned a day that is supposed to celebrate the 'imposed' constitution into a 'day of wrath'. The government is on high alert and is extremely paranoid. Bahrain TV has non-stop propoganda and cheesy songs about 'King' Hamad (his imposed constitution changed Bahrain from a 'state' to a 'kingdom' and elevated our little man from 'emir' to 'king'). Well the Bahrainis have had enough of their trickery and lies. And we are expecting a speech on the 12th in which he announces some 'concessions' like the release of political prisoners. He also just announced more subsidies, paid out of more national debt (which means our kids will end up paying because they will be introducing taxes soon). I am sure this will not be enough to appease the street. In their pathetic attempts to stave off the protests. Our buffoon foreign minister has called the Qatari Ambassador - presumably to ask the Qataris to ask Aljazeera to not cover the Bahraini protests. Aljazeera was kicked out of Bahrain last year. Also BBC correspondants have been harassed in the past. This is a call for journalists to try their best to send undercover reporters to Bahrain on 14. In other news, the Head of the National Security Agency has been to Egypt to visit his counterpart, the head of security in Egypt - presumably to get a lesson or two on managing (or not managing) the protests. I really hope we won't see camels unleashed on us. I can vouch that there is no party behind this movement, it is completely grassroot, with both sunni and shia activists. There has been a marked step change in the rhetoric on the street and it is much more nationalistic. Aljazeera and all other media MUST send reporters to Bahrain immediately.
There has been some coverage so far(see below)"

Bahraini dictator
Fawzi sent me this: "The bahraini dictator is blatant in his piblic support for mubarak, every day he is either calling him or sending him an envoy or somthing, he is sweating with Feb 14 approaching".

#Jan25 Public transportation workers call for overthrowing Mubarak
February 9th, 2011 at 7:05pm

Tags: Cairo | Egypt | Mubarak | Public Transportation | strikes | unions | workers

My sources has just confirmed this now… The Cairo Public Transportation workers, who started a strike today in five Garages: Nasr Station, Fateh Station, Ter’a Station, Amiriya Station, Mezzalat Station, Sawwah Station, have issued a statement with a list of demands, calling for overthrowing Mubarak. No public buses will roam Cairo tomorrow, except those buses that will bring the drivers to the central station in Nasr City’s el-Gabal el-Ahmar, where the strikers have announced they will declare an independent union.

This comes as strikes have spread literally everywhere… It’s happening people… It’s happening… The working class has entered the arena with full force today. Mubarak’s regime’s fate will be sealed off SOON!
