На этой неделе упразднили ихнее кгб - как институт, вообще и в принципе. Сегодня проводится референдум о поправках к конституции и устройстве выборов. Оппозиционеры голосуют против (потому что поправки слишком поверхностные), а мусульманское братство голосует за, п.ч. им выгодны не поправки, а скорейшие выборы (у них уже есть организация и кандидаты, у других с этим пока туго). Ясно, что исламисты рассчитывают на самые необразованные и бедные слои населения:

«"The Islamists are telling everyone it's against God's will to vote 'no'," said architect Ahmed Sabri, 35, who was among 50 or so people waiting to vote at a polling station in the Kasr El-Dobara school in Cairo.

"Islamists are not Egypt, so if we don't go to vote for a completely new constitution, the coming election for parliament will not represent Egypt," he added.

shabab chant barra barra + chase foreign woman down the street, looked like a journo.
army follows woman w raised rifles. Appear to be shielding her but makes scene look menacing.
Women in niqab were also part of the mob chasing whatever foreign woman that was. I saw at least one niqabi throw a punch.
many appeared to be working youths and salafis. A fair number of angry niqabi women. Saw one throw a punch.
Angry old woman in khimar: "we don't want elbaradei or anyone from outside egypt. Our country is best country in the world."
