Today was the ministry of interior Friday , yes I will call this Friday with that name with my all due respect to the martyrs but seriously Friday we had a common goal : To deliver one message that we had a revolution Mubarak’s ministry of interior !!
Before speaking about today’s Friday protest I have to speak about yesterday. I visited Tahrir square afternoon in a quick visit where I saw the families of martyrs speaking to political activist/blogger/TV hostess Nawara Negm about their sons as well as the wounded.
The families of martyrs and the wounded are extremely angry from the claims of the sick media and the ministry of interior that they are thugs.
Great piece.

The Mubarak-Regime-Sans-Mubarak is up to its old tricks.
“No to the return of police terror,” read one banner from Friday’s protest, when approximately 5,000 converged on the square. The demonstrators have called for July 8 to be the next massive protest, with hopes from organizers on social networks that thousands of Egyptians will take to the streets in continued pressure on the government to bring about the change that they called for during the uprising in January and February.
Activists in the country have accused the military of following Mubarak-styled crackdowns on dissidents speaking out. Already, one blogger has been arrested and imprisoned for criticizing the military earlier this year, while thousands more have been detained and put before military courts.

Since the dictatorship cannot survive a real election:
Egypt looking at e-voting
“E-voting is not a dream,” said Gamal Gheitas, Editor-in-chief of Loghat al-Asr Magazine and IT Editor at al-Ahram. “We need to build the right foundation first by centralizing voters’ information in order to ensure that the elections are conducted fairly and without manipulation.”
He added that synchronizing information from all groups and ministries is an important step in creating a database of voters, which would then be linked to a National ID database for potential voters.
Intel Egypt’s Business Development Manager Hisham Arafa added to this by saying ICT can be instrumental in facilitating parliamentary and presidential elections and that it “can help in the development of e-government and e-democracy.”
That's "e" for ersatz.
