Dilaporkan di Cairo, Mesir ketika ini sedang kecoh di mana underground network ditambah dengan social media seperti Twitter mahupun Facebook sedang merangka pemberontakan di sana. Anak Hosni Mubarak yang dikatakan bakal menjadi Presiden Mesir, dikhabarkan telah lari ke kota London. Entah apa yang yang ditakutkan sangat, tak tahulah. Adakah beliau ada buat silap kepada rakyat Mesir ? Hosni Mubarak sudah terlalu lama memegang tampuk pemerintahan di Mesir. Dan dikhabarkan selepas rejim Ben Ali “runtuh” baru-baru ini, kerajaan seterusnya yang dijangka tumbang adalah rejim Hosni Mubarak, akibat daripada kebangkitan dan kesedaran rakyat di sana.
Walaubagaimanapun, kami fikir tak semudah itu untuk menjatuhkan kerajaan Hosni Mubarak, sebab beliau pun boleh tahan kejamnya. Kalau setakat pelajar Mesir yang pernah dimasukkan ke penjara bawah tanah , sudah menjadi perkara biasa, apatah lagi rakyat Mesir yang dilaporkan hilang tanpa berita. Tambahan pula, Mesir terang-terang berkerjasama dengan Amerika untuk hancurkan rakyat Palestin di Semenanjung Gaza. Pastinya Israel juga takkkan semudah itu membiarkan sekutu rapatnya tumbang begitu sahaja.
Walaubagaimanapun sejarah sudah membuktikan yang mana pemerintah yang zalim dan diktator cara mana sekalipun, kuasa rakyat yang bersatu tetap mampu menumbangkannya. Contohnya, Marcos, Suharto dan Shah Iran.
Kami quotekan semula faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan rejim Ben Ali tumbang baru-baru ini :
Ben Ali mengharamkan semua parti Islam serta pemakaian hijab di Tunisia
Akhbar-akhbar dan media massa dikawaloleh kerajaan. Realitinya, Tunisia memenjarakan paling banyak wartawan berbanding negara-negara Arab yang lain di mana TV dan radio berat sebelah kepada kerajaan
Semua projek mesti melalui isteri presiden dan pembodek kerajaan pasti dapat kerja dan projek pembangunan kerajaan
Opponents of Hosni Mubarak regime gather in Cairo prior to resumption of demonstrations, communications suggest

Egyptian protesters demanding an end to the 30-year reign of the president, Hosni Mubarak, were today preparing to take to the streets again and resume their demonstrations.Calm returned to the streets of Cairo after violent clashes in Tahrir Square that lasted into the early hours of the morning.
But communications on Twitter – which people continue to use despite the Egyptian authorities blocking the official website – suggested opponents of the Mubarak regime were gathering prior to a return to the square, in the centre of the city.However, it was unclear how many people were planning to join the protests after the unprecedented scenes yesterday.Last night, the US urged the Egyptian authorities to show restraint, asking them "to respond to any protests peacefully"."The Egyptian government has an important opportunity to be responsive to the aspirations of the Egyptian people, and pursue political, economic and social reforms that can improve their lives and help Egypt prosper," the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, said.Egyptian security forces said protesters would not be permitted to reassemble, raising the prospect of further clashes.Four people died, including Ahmed Aziz, a police officer, who was hit on the head by stones, according to reports based on information from security and medical sources. Two protesters were killed in Suez, east of Cairo, as other demonstrations took place around the country.Protesters waved Egyptian and Tunisian flags, hauled down a billboard for the ruling NDP party and chanted: "Depart, Mubarak." The 82-year-old leader faces elections later this year."This is the first day of the Egyptian revolution," Karim Rizk, who was at one of the Cairo rallies yesterday, said.Protests against decades of poverty, oppression and police torture had been declared illegal by the authorities and were met with a fierce response. Teargas and water cannons were fired into the crowd, and rocks thrown by demonstrators and security forces."We have taken back our streets today from the regime, and they won't recover from the blow," Rizk said.Protests also broke out in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, where posters of Mubarak and his son, Gamal, were destroyed. Roads were also blocked in the Sinai peninsula, and large rallies were reported across the Nile delta and the Suez canal region.The protests were called by a coalition of online activists, who promised that 25 January would be a "day of revolt".Apparently taken by surprise at the size of the crowds, police initially stood back and allowed demonstrators to occupy public squares and march through the streets – unprecedented in a country where political gatherings are outlawed and demonstrations normally shut down quickly.But as the marches grew, the government moved to isolate them.
Access to the internet, phone and social media networks was blocked, spreading confusion among protesters and temporarily sealing the largest Arab country off from the rest of the world. Access was later restored, although services remained intermittent.As night fell, thousands of demonstrators stood their ground for what they vowed would be an all-night sit-in in Tahrir Square, metres from parliament and other government buildings.Security forces moved in, arresting people, chasing others into side streets and filling the square with clouds of teargas. Protesters collapsed on the ground with breathing problems.The sound of what appeared to be automatic weapons could be heard as riot police and plainclothes officers chased several hundred protesters who scrambled on to the main road along the Nile in central Cairo. Some 20 officers were seen beating one protester with truncheons."It got broken up ugly with everything, shooting, water cannon and [police] running with the sticks," Gigi Ibrahim, who was among the last protesters to leave the square, said. "It was a field of teargas. The square emptied out so fast."Ibrahim said she was hit in the back with something that felt like a rock. "Some people were hit in their faces," she said.Some protesters turned violent amid the crackdown, knocking down an empty white police booth and dragging it for several yards before setting it on fire while chanting that they wanted to oust the regime. A police truck was overturned and set ablaze.Protesters also set fire to a barricade and blocked traffic on a major bridge over the Nile.Police at the bridge fired teargas and protesters mounted a charge, forcing officers to retreat, although they quickly regrouped. Two protesters suffered head injuries and were taken away in ambulances.Ehsan : TheGuardianMohon Share SemaksimaCredit :http://u-jam.blogspot.com/2011/01/terkini-mesir-yang-merusuh.html
