I was crestfallen to see on the evening edition of the news, that the press has been gagged and pro - Mubarak supporters seemed to have gained an upperhand over the anti - Mubarak forces. There has been loss of lives and hundreds of people have been injured in the scuffle between the two forces.
Aren't the people, clamouring for Mubarak's ouster, convinced about their aims and aspirations? If they aren't, their grievances about Mubarak's omissions and commissions can only be taken as a figment of their imagination! People's movements take a long time to crystallise and once it's on stream, it becomes unstoppable till the 'change', that they aspire for, is brought in - this is the truth, based on historical facts.
The Egyptian armed forces' allegiance is still not discernible though their pro - Mubarak stand seems to have taken a dent but from their actions of the day, doubts have crept into my mind but I'm a novice in my understanding of international affairs.
