8:00pm
The situation is getting worse. The city is out of control. Apparently the police have retreated from the streets, but the army has been in the streets for two hours and they haven’t done a damned thing to control the situation. Someone just robbed a bank in Tahrir. A famous movie director came up to a camera and begged the soldiers to protect the Egyptian Museum from being robbed too.
No way to know if the looters and violent people in the streets are protesters or government people creating chaos to threaten the protesters…
I am fighting back tears and praying more earnestly than I have ever prayed in my life. My excitement is once again being overcome by fear, and stronger than before. Wa Nabi, I did not know true anxiety and fear before this week, and it’s taking all my nerve to keep it at bay. Thank God I am with family. I would have had a nervous breakdown by now otherwise.
Just announced that people have broken into the Television headquarters. This is exactly what we feared. If they take over the TV tower, they could cut TV reception for the entire country. Then we will REALLY be in crisis. The TV networks are our last outlet. Without them, we have no way of knowing what’s going on…
The curfew has officially been extended to all of Egypt, including Sinai. However, it is not helping to calm the violence.
Oh my God I can’t even keep up with my thoughts. The news networks can barely keep up with the events either…
