They are the (now ex') President's thugs, the corrupt police. Egypt is a police state ever since Mubarak took over 30 years ago. With Emergency laws for 3 decades, they can arrest anyone they want.
All those pro-Mubarak rallies were organized by them (out of uniforms), trying to incite.. umm created chaos. Thus, trying to instill a sense of fear if Mubarak lose power. But thankfully, the Egyptians made it through but it's not over.
It made me really sad to see these peaceful protesters massacred like that - so unnecessary. I can't help sounding naive and stupid when i think out loud how the FUCK can people do that to other people. Killing in cold blood. While their families and friends are all around. :( Rest in peace, martyrs of Egypt.
Egypt was pretty tame for a regime change.. err... government change. The other countries; Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, etc... are using more force. What happened (first in Tunisia, as a protester, Alaadine Kmat set himself on fire) in Egypt is sending shock waves in the Near East and Middle-East.
Sorta like what happened during the French Revolution, sending a geopolitical earthquake to the rest of Europe.
I heard that the Egyptian military ended siding with the people ... Lybia, from what i hear, is another story :/
Let's just hope that all this causes what those governments fear the most - a global influence to take down all dictatorships / military regimes ...
