  • The beginnig that had no end

    The beginnig that had no end
    An Egyp­tian man sets him­self on fire out­side Cairo’s par­lia­ment build­ing after a dis­pute with loc­al au­thor­it­ies over re­ceiv­ing his monthly coupons for sub­sid­ized bread. This fast-food stand own­er was ap­par­ently in­spired by the Tunisi­an fruit seller whose self-im­mol­a­tion triggered a pop­u­lar up­ris­ing in Decem­ber 2010. I started with that because i think that the revolution spread really fast just like fire. All of a sudden egypt went on fire!

    In a speech delivered shortly after midnight, Mubarak announces that he has sacked the cabinet, but he himself refuses to step down.
