We’ve already seen two major massacres by security forces against anti-coup protests in Cairo this month, and it seems like the junta is setting the stage for more today, ordering the police to use “all necessary measures” to stop the demonstrations.
Sit-in protests appear to be the biggest problem by the estimation of junta officials, who termed them a threat to national security on both “terrorism” and traffic disruption grounds.
The police don’t exactly have a great record in this regard, having only last weekend attacked a sit-in in Cairo’s northeast, killing 120 of the protesters and wounding several thousand others.
Protest leaders say they don’t accept the order to stop the protests, saying they are an attempt to “terrorize” peaceful protesters. Many of the Muslim Brotherhood protest leaders are already in hiding, with the junta ordering them arrested for “incitement” for criticizing the coup.
People of the middle east reminds me of how the lions of the great plains of Africa lives. A pride of lions is made up of about six females and their cubs and one dominant male who protects the pride at some point a nomad male lion will attack the pride kill the dominant male along with the cubs and takes control of the females and territory. If you go back to biblical times you only have kings and rulers, its in their genes there can only be one dominant male and they kill their own citizens to achieved that status.I wish the west would respect those people culture and let they live their lives like the lions of the great plains of Africa, then we will have peace.
Jitt, you are right only by requesting the western governments to leave people alone. Otherwise your post is a fine example of extreme simplicity. in your analogy, the western people will be like a troupe of Apes fighting for an alpha male and female every 4 years.
