@arachid2004 Кто ты такой! Вместо того чтобы призывать к миру, ты не живя в этой стране призываешь их к насилию! Мне жаль таких как ты ничтожеств!!!!

@arachid2004 Вот из-за таких как ты погибают невинные!

Всегда есть подстрекатели! И это волнение ярко-выраженный пример клеветы на Президента Египта! Хоть я и не живу в этой стране хочу сказать я уважаю этого человека и ненавижу тех подстрекателей, из-за которых были ранены сотни невинных жертв! Эти люди жестокие и бесчеловечные! Тем более я ни хотела бы чтобы в мой день рождение и вообще были такие стычки! Да хранит Аллах невинных и пусть проклянет убийц и подстрекателей!

I read that the soldiers are just standing by holding their rifles and occaisionally firing a shot.. So much for security forces, this is pure mayhem, it looks like a civil war in Cairo. I imagine the Egyptian people want freedom and democracy but this is a terrible way to take hold of it!

I hope not too many people were hurt today.
