Egypt Arrests "April 6 Youth Movement" Activists | Cairo - April 6, 2010 شباب 6 ابريل

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_6_Youth_Movement - The April 6 Youth Movement is an Egyptian Facebook group started by Esraa Rashid and Ahmad Maher in Spring 2008 to support the workers in El-Mahalla El-Kubra, an industrial town, who were planning to strike on April 6.

Activists called on participants to wear black and stay home the day of the strike. Bloggers and citizen journalists used Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, blogs and other new media tool to report on the strike, alert their networks about police activity, organize legal protection and draw attention to their efforts.

The New York Times has identified the movement as the political Facebook group in Egypt with the most dynamic debates. As of January 2009, it had 70,000 predominantly young and educated members, most of whom had not been politically active before; their core concerns include free speech, nepotism in government and the country's stagnant economy. Their discussion forum on Facebook features intense and heated discussions, and is constantly updated with new postings.

TO EGYPT:

I'm watching and wish your country all the best. Egyptians are good people.

Just be careful, as you know governments can be ruthless when they feel their power is threatened.

Elect Amr khaled, he would be approved by almost everyone!!

He has the modern twist, the moderate speech, the christians and Muslims approach, and the youth movement! He doesn't approve of Israel but would be "not so radical" He is not from the brotherhood nor the army.

He is not a political figure but might just work, I bet it never even occured to him to run!!
