"An imminent change in the leadership of the Egyptian security services is expected ..."
"...the most senior national security directors are expected to resign or be replaced, possible along with the interior minister, Habib al-Adly."
I hate them all on a personal level. But I would loved to see them go away with peacful dissent that comes from us. And not from …
Ok, I am starting to recover from my shock. Here are some links related to the Sharm El-Sheikh bombings.
Since this is probably the largest terror attack to hit my home country in my lifetime. I think I have to post something.
My reaction is very different to other attacks, I am avoiding the news, television and other sources of information. On other similar events I would be glued to the TV and the Internet. Trying to follow every news piece or report.
I am glad, I didn't lose anyone I know. But still …
Although, I am glad they are going to leave kids alone and use robots. Take a look at the robotic jockey. It is finished and ready for racing.

Some plain clothes police (they had a walkie-talkie) stole my camera and four or three of them dragged me from my shirt violently in the streets. They did the same to my friends. We were no directly upseting them we were just taking photos of another one of my firends being dragged and beaten.
