Some Mubarak Financial documents DDos'd to dissappear found here

To see Tahrir battlepoints Google Earth + overlay


Egyptian anti-government protesters sleep on the tires of a military tank stationed on Tahrir (Liberation) Square,
which for the past two weeks has been the center of a sit-in protest by thousands of Egyptians demanding the government step down from power.
Protesters created a human shield and barricades to fend off pro-Mubarak supporters from getting into the square
and to prevent the military from an overnight attack to clear the square from the protesters.



Please rec if you read these, these get mercilessly unrec'd. Weird.

An Agenda for Peace
Preventive diplomacy,
peacemaking and peace-keeping


Report of the Secretary-General
pursuant to the statement
adopted by the Summit Meeting of
the Security Council on 31 January 1992
Introduction

...

5. The sources of conflict and war are pervasive and deep. To reach them will require our utmost effort to enhance respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, to promote sustainable economic and social development for wider prosperity, to alleviate distress and to curtail the existence and use of massively destructive weapons. The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, the largest summit ever held, has just met at Rio de Janeiro. Next year will see the second World Conference on Human Rights. In 1994 Population and Development will be addressed. In 1995 the World Conference on Women will take place, and a World Summit for Social Development has been proposed. Throughout my term as Secretary-General I shall be addressing all these great issues. I bear them all in mind as, in the present report, I turn to the problems that the Council has specifically requested I consider: preventive diplomacy, peacemaking and peace-keeping - to which I have added a closely related concept, post-conflict peace-building.

...

I. The changing context

...

12. The concept of peace is easy to grasp; that of international security is more complex, for a pattern of contradictions has arisen here as well. As major nuclear Powers have begun to negotiate arms reduction agreements, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction threatens to increase and conventional arms continue to be amassed in many parts of the world. As racism becomes recognized for the destructive force it is and as apartheid is being dismantled, new racial tensions are rising and finding expression in violence. Technological advances are altering the nature and the expectation of life all over the globe. The revolution in communications has united the world in awareness, in aspiration and in greater solidarity against injustice. But progress also brings new risks for stability: ecological damage, disruption of family and community life, greater intrusion into the lives and rights of individuals.

13. This new dimension of insecurity must not be allowed to obscure the continuing and devastating problems of unchecked population growth, crushing debt burdens, barriers to trade, drugs and the growing disparity between rich and poor. Poverty, disease, famine, oppression and despair abound, joining to produce 17 million refugees, 20 million displaced persons and massive migrations of peoples within and beyond national borders. These are both sources and consequences of conflict that require the ceaseless attention and the highest priority in the efforts of the United Nations. A porous ozone shield could pose a greater threat to an exposed population than a hostile army. Drought and disease can decimate no less mercilessly than the weapons of war. So at this moment of renewed opportunity, the efforts of the Organization to build peace, stability and security must encompass matters beyond military threats in order to break the fetters of strife and warfare that have characterized the past. But armed conflicts today, as they have throughout history, continue to bring fear and horror to humanity, requiring our urgent involvement to try to prevent, contain and bring them to an end.

14. Since the creation of the United Nations in 1945, over 100 major conflicts around the world have left some 20 million dead. The United Nations was rendered powerless to deal with many of these crises because of the vetoes - 279 of them - cast in the Security Council, which were a vivid expression of the divisions of that period.

Five Suez Canal companies workers go on strike, no major disruptions witnessed yet

Ahram Online, Tuesday 8 Feb 2011

Workers from 5 service companies owned by Suez Canal Authority in the cities of Suez , Port-Said and Ismailia began an open-ended sit in today.

Over 6000 protesters have agreed that they will not go home today once their shift is over and will continue their sit-in in front of the company's headquarters until their demands are met. They are protesting against poor wages and deteriorating health and working conditions and demanded that their salaries and benefits meet the standard of those working for the Suez Canal Authority.

A senior official from the Suez Canal Authority told Ahram online that the Suez Canal didn't witness any disruptions today, and that disruptions are not expected in the days to come.

"The strike will not affect the operation of the Suez Canal and movement of ships. These companies work in areas far from the canal zone and movement of ships," a senior official told Reuters.

Dissident Blogger Kareem Amer Missing in Egypt
By Curt Hopkins / February 8, 2011 12:20 PM



The blogger who served the most time in prison has gone missing again. Kareem Amer was a brave blogger who spoke out against Egyptian treatment of Christians and women and registered dismay at the religion he grew up with, Islam. He was arrested and served four years, much of which was characterized by beatings and other mistreatment. He was finally released in November. He went missing on Sunday evening in Cairo.

According to Cyberdissidents.org, of which Kareem was a member, he exited Tahrir Square at about 11:00 p.m. local time with a friend and has not been heard from since.


"They were warned not to go through Kasr Elnil because of ambushes and arrests there. It is not known if they used that exit, but Kareem and his friend have not been heard from since. Their phones are off and they are not in their apartments."

Wael Ghonim, the head of marketing for Google in the region, was recently released after a week in prison incommunicado. It turns out Ghonim was behind the Facebook page that arranged the protests, We are all Khaled Said.
