11:50 pm
it wasn't just a group of thugs attacking beating and killing others that's not the point whoa whoa hold on and the point is that they punished fans what they had done for the sake of the revolution. this means that the all stories are to blame what with the military council interior ministry and other government structures but this i believe all of them have a hand in those events i think that the media has a juicy to come out with a clear position instead of distorting the truth as. people in revolutionary egypt have changed their attitude towards the revolutions principle mouthpiece the qatar based al-jazeera news channels i hate the promotion you'll never hear it's true but during those eighteen days al-jazeera and other channels did a good deal to the public about the goings on it was quite unlike what gyptian television was trying to demonstrate but after that channel began was in line with the requirements of the government sons or its own. three journalists from al

a long time he was in charge of the channel's iranian purer they just held a similar post at the office in lebanon in the spring of two thousand and eleven because i left the child for saying he was not going to. cooperate with a news outlet which sacrificed objectivity for politically sponsored programming out of here one of them and i realized that i could not work and resigned with it i suddenly understood that i was afraid of those revolutions such thoughts appeared when the revolution in libya broke out of course i think that moammar gadhafi was a despotic and he ought to have stepped down but my fears grew on something that on face value looked like the beginning of a new arab reality with its revolution and change something very different underneath as in any a few years at least let me. lead this that it was a shock. that the law was. not.
11:53 pm

leisure center on the banks of the mold and downtown close to the young revolutionaries play on the usual instruments. strictly speaking they are instruments of tool they make music from trash picked up from the street the progressive musicians pulled a group designed by leading which is local slang for garbage collectors. this is where the actual zabbaleen are found. one hundred thousand people in this district on the outskirts of cairo. their lives depend on garbage designing gather it from all of that harbor and bring it back to their neighborhood these people to have opposed the view of the revolution.
11:57 pm
get their main concern isn't that some tyrant is being toppled or because freedom has arrived rather since they could business has been booming for the zabbaleen. surely as she did a good deal of collecting during the revolution everybody was running apart like mad or enjoying themselves in cafes all that produced a lot of garbage. it is for that reason that the inhabitants of the trash neighborhood pin great food on the arab spring they don't want it to dry out and to come a scorched summer that is so typical of the middle east public unrest means garbage and garbage is that life.
