Routine Updates

-After Egypt Military has taken control of the country after Mubarak's resignation, they have pledged to ensure civilian rule. This is huge news tot hose who feared Mubarak's crones would regain power or that the military would rule.

-Algerian protests are still going strong. It's still unclear whether they will pick up enough steam to make a significant change. Meanwhile in Yemen, protesters have been getting savagely beaten by riot police.

-Similar protests are scheduled in Iran for Monday. The US has urged Ahmadinejad to allow the rally in an unexpectedly forceful stance.

-In the EU, the notion that multiculturalism has failed is spreading. First the Prime Minister of the UK and then the President of France have made official statements to that effect. This will most likely serve only to heighten anti-muslim sentiments across Europe.

-I've reached 200 followers! Thanks, all.

-Here's Al Jazeera's recent News Update

    I wrote a shortstory and planning to write the next part.
    "Devil over deepsea" with egyptian proverb 'Because we focused on the snake, we missed the scorpion." - nothing to do with Military rule in Egypt:)
    But goodthing is tht army took sides with people or else this would hve been forgotten revolution like China, Srilanka and Yemen.

    Last pharaoh- Cleopatra
    Last proconsul - Caesar
    Last dictatory - Mubarak??

    A short story- last despot of Egypt
