All over Egypt thousands of people have taken to the streets to protest against Hosni Mubarak’s government. Blogs, twitter, Facebook and mobile phone footage have all played some part in mobilising the crowds and getting messages to the wider world. And this despite a draconian crackdown on media and an unprecedented blackout of the internet by the authorities. In today’s Witness we look back at a film made four years ago, when bloggers were relatively few and new in Egypt. They claimed the Egyptian government was nothing better than a dictatorship, using torture, intimidation and corruption to maintain its hold on power, and they were attracting a growing audience. Back then they were already making waves – and paying a high price. But they were sewing the seeds of today’s multi-media uprising. We are also joined in the studio by two guests who have been following the development of media in Egypt – Sharif Nashashibi from Arab Media Watch and researcher Ramy Aly who experienced blogging in Egypt in 2006 and 2007.

“United Nations El Baradei is CFR Endorsed.
& has ties with George Soros, Ford Foundation, Bill~ Belinda Gates Foundation
What about Israel’s NUKES?
Mubarak NATO Israel Puppet.
El Baradei is another SOROS funded scum. The colour revolution evolved. Bearing in mind EL BARADEI was part of the nuclear inspectors, that negated terrorist & nuclear armed israel. Later the nuclear AIEA team won a noble peace prize!! This alone is an indicator ghoulishness & demented ways.
EL BARADEI= ANOTHER SIONIST & usa PUPPET.
EGYPT REVOLUTION= Another PAKIstan.
I think, this time, in the end, it will be the Egyptian People who choose, who is to lead them. If God decides to use the internet, who will stop Him?.
El Baradei is currently being used by the Muslim Brotherhood to calm Western countries so they won’t interfere and end Western support for Mubarak. Once El Baradei is no longer needed he will be tossed a side along with other secular politicians and the Islamic Republic of Egypt will arise. EGYPT REVOLUTION =Arab version of Iran. If that were to happen people will finally realize that Islam is an empire of faith. The Muslims living in Western countries are agents of the empire
To stand in the face of likely torture in the name of one’s own rights takes an incredible amount of courage. Blessed are those who overcome their fear in the midst of such danger so that their peers may have self-determination.
Blessed is Al Jazeera who has faced attacks and threats but continues to speak the truth clearly for all those who are willing to listen.
A new dawn is on the horizon. The world WILL be a better place when it is finally wrenched from those that seek to destroy it.
lol, get over it man. These Robert Spencer conspiracy theories are pathetic.
