Revolutie in Egypte #122: Vesting Tahrir

Laatste news van de BBC (van onder naar boven lezen!) Tijden zijn GMT.

0836: Like Tarek, many of the president's opponents are highly mistrustful of the government. Years of repression have made people very wary - and in recent days their pent-up anger has boiled over in a way no one was predicting when Tunisians overthrew President Ben Ali in January.

0831: Like Tarek, many of the president's opponents are highly mistrustful of the government. Years of repression have made people very wary - and in recent days their pent-up anger has boiled over in a way no one was predicting when Tunisians overthrew President Ben Ali in January.

0825: Tarek in London, says: "The regime even at this late stage is deceiving the population. Earlier today state television announced that a number of former ministers have been prevented from travelling abroad and have had their bank accounts frozen. The reason for this announcement is that the population would want any new government to do just that. So Mubarak is trying to decrease the resentment among segments of the population."

0816: Israel's gas pipeline may not have been hit by the blast - that's coming from Israel radio, quoted by Reuters. The news agency is reporting that the Jordanian branch of the pipe has been damaged. In any event it looks like Egypt's gas supply to Israel has been stopped as a precaution.

0815: Mosa'ab Elshamy writes in a couple of tweets: "We're sitting in front of their tanks after the army tried to remove the barricades we set up near the museum. Thousands of protesters surrounding them now, making it clear the tanks will have to run them over before moving any further. #Tahrir"

0808: Egypt's government may be hoping things go back to normal and the mass protest fizzles out - but the BBC's John Leyne says they may be underestimating how much they have lost control. The demonstrators in Tahrir Square aren't going anywhere for now.

0800: Al-Jazeera's Ayman Mohyeldin tweets: "No casualties in gas pipeline explosion fire now contained investigation underway #egypt #tahrir #jan25"

0758: Latest reports say the Egyptian army has closed off the main source of gas to the pipeline on fire in Sinai. The authorities are saying it was blown up but that's not been confirmed yet.

0751: Nora Shalaby tweets: "People need to start heading towards #tahrir as it seems the army has an agenda today #Jan25."

0744: Will they, won't they talk today? There's still no word on this from the anti-Mubarak camp who have so far refused to enter discussions before the president steps down.

0739: Egyptian state TV says the gas pipeline is on fire in the northern Sinai Peninsula. "The blast and the fire erupted Saturday morning near the Egyptian town of El Arish. Residents say they heard the sound of an explosion, and that massive flames shot into the air," the Associated Press reports.

0728: AFP news agency is now also saying there has been an attack on gas supplies to Israel. Reporting from Cairo, it quotes an official and says: "Unknown attackers blew up an Egyptian terminal supplying gas to Israel near the Gaza Strip on Saturday." If it's confirmed as an attack it would be the first of its kind since the crisis began nearly a fortnight ago.

0724: Latest word is that newly appointed Vice President Omar Suleiman WILL meet opposition leaders in Cairo today. Egypt's Finance Minister Samir Radwan also told the BBC in a telephone interview that he is expecting banks to reopen on Sunday, and the stock market to resume work on Monday.

0720: Reports say there has been a blast near Egypt's gas pipeline with Israel in north Sinai. So far only on Reuters news agency.

0717: On the subject of talks, US officials are saying a meeting between Egypt's leaders and the opposition could be held in the coming days, perhaps even this weekend. The Muslim Brotherhood is not expected to attend.

0708: Hossam Abdallah, a member of Egypt's National Association for Change tells the BBC that dialogue is required with the authorities - but it has to be orderly and meaningful and arrests of activists have to stop. On the role of other countries, he says: "This is an Egyptian matter and it has to be solved internally."

0653: The BBC's John Leyne says there are still substantial numbers in Tahrir Square - it was a relatively peaceful night although there was some gunfire for a short period. "The strategy now seems to be to kill the protest with kindness. The authorities have used rubber bullets and baton charges and - some strongly suspect - paid thugs and nothing has worked, so they are saying 'it's ok, you can protest as long as you like'."

0642: Welcome to the BBC's live coverage of events in Egypt - it's day 12 of unrest since mass demonstrations began. Thousands of people have spent the night in Tahrir Square in central Cairo, after another huge rally demanding the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak.

Het is niet de leiding naar Israel maar die naar Jordanie

Goedemorgen!

Vreugdevuurtje !

Kost Mubarak weer extra geld

Zullen er nog marshmallows in de winkels te krijgen zijn.

Verder natuurlijk erg dom om een pijplijn op te blazen.

Gaaf fikkie

AJE: Volgens de VN zijn er tot nu toe 300 doden in Egypte.

Ik vind het we meevallen, het is algemeen bekend dat Mubarak onder de prijs gas aan israel llevert.
Nou daar heeft iemand dus een stokje een bommetje voor gestoken.

Dan vergis je je: het is niet de lijn naar Israel zoals door velen wordt gemeld maar die naar Jordanie volgens AJE.

Offtopic:

Ik kom er net achter dat de autorefresh niet altijd alle posts meeneemt, ik mis er een nu ik hetzelfde topic in 2 tabs open heb.

Je kan dus updates missen.

Dat is idd wel een redelijke schatting volgens mij. In Cairo waren het er vorig weekend al meer dan 100 en ook in Alexandrie werd paar dagen geleden 100+ doden gemeld.

Jap en die 5000 gewonden van de staats tv lijkt me ook wel redelijk te kloppen
