Egypt's public transit workers threaten to strike again

It seems that calling off plans to strike was a bit premature. The workers had an agreement with the government.

But then a shocking thing happened: The government reneged on its agreement.

Public transport workers threaten another strike

Drivers for the Public Transport Authority are threatening to strike on 3 October. They say the government has failed to follow through on promises made during the negotiations that ended a two-day strike in August.

You mean the Egyptian government lied, that revolutionary, friend-of-the-people, military dictatorship lied?

And here's a great short documentary which cogently debunks the "Facebook, Twitter, Wikileaks (or any other of the CIA's fronts)" revolution bullshit. Love this woman! She cuts through all of the military/industrial/media complex' ruses, canards, obviations, obfuscations, tropes, memes, shibboleths etc. which the usual purveyors of such like CNN et al have been spreading like fertilizer. The real causes of the Arab Spring are capitalism, racism, Zionism/occupation, and Islamopohobia.
