What's going on in Egypt?!

There seems to be a lot going on around the world these days............

The people of Egypt are in protest to call an end to their current President Hosni Mubarak's almost thirty year term.  They seem to be upset with the way their government operates and want their voices to be heard.  The protesters were submitted to their internet and mobile services being cut off in "certain" parts of Egypt.  According to WSJ Blog :

Vodafone Group CEO Vittorio Colao said “Egyptian authorities” had asked the company to “turn down the network totally.” Mr. Colao said Vodafone determined that the request was legitimate under Egyptian law, and therefore complied with the request.


They were also ordered to comply with a nationwide nighttime curfew.  As far as I know President Hosni Mubarak does not plan on stepping down. Many have been injured, about 8 have died.


While some people are protesting for democracy others are abusing this time to rob banks and spread unwanted harmful chaos, including fires.


I wish them the best and hope they find some peace.
