Things have calmed down now. The army has officially taken control of the country and everyone is waiting to see what happens. People are walking freely in the streets. Even the army seems to have disregarded the curfew completely, as they haven’t done anything to enforce it thus far. Egyptians are glued to the news channels, as they have been all day (unless they were on the streets), waiting to see what will happen next…
Everyone is reeling. Egyptians are reeling. The entire world is reeling. Everyone in the world and especially in Egypt is trying to process exactly what happened today and how we’ve arrived at this point. No one has any idea what will happen next…
Needless to say, this will be a long night… though I’ve lost all sense of time at this point as events have been unfolding so unfathomably rapidly… I’m so grateful that I had the presence of mind to document events by the hour as of this morning…

BREAKING NEWS: HOSNI MUBARAK HAS FINALLY SHOWN HIS UGLY FACE… I was totally wrong. I don’t believe this. I honestly thought we would not see him again until he was found dead or in a rabbit hole. But here he is, clean cut in a suit, delivering an address next to the flag of Egypt, talking out of his ass… I fear that Egyptians are about to show the world what anger really is.

My cousin Osama just called, very choked up, with news that Amr was FINALLY able to contact them. He’s safe and ok and he’s on his way to Zagazig to be with the family. THANK GOD. My nerves can relax a little.
