I would like to say I am praying for Egypt too, and that Egypt is very important to me, seeing as it's the homeland of Kemeticism.

Thanks MS
There is less tension at the moment, though on the other hand it seems there have also been many arrests
We hope that this transition will end positively for all Egyptians, and that we soon see a new Egypt which is ruled in a fair and democratic way
All positive thoughts/prayers and good wishes are welcomed, as Egypt really needs it

It was on fire when I laid down on it.

The Regional Manager of Google in the Middle East has just been released after 11 days detention by security forces
From the BBC
Wael Ghonim, the Google marketing executive who was behind a Facebook page credited with sparking the demonstrations, was freed on Monday after being detained for 11 days.
He said he had not been ill-treated in custody but was shocked to be branded a traitor.
"Anyone with good intentions is the traitor because being evil is the norm," he told a TV channel.
"If I was a traitor, I would have stayed in my villa in the Emirates and made good money and said, like others, 'Let this country go to hell'. But we are not traitors."

Egypt Releases Google Executive
Ghonim was born in 1980 to a middle-class family.
He obtained a bachelors degree in computer engineering from the Engineering College, Cairo University, in 2004.
He also completed his masters in business administration from the American University in Cairo in 2007.
Ghonims tryst with the Net began in 1998 and he later worked for e-mail-based Gawab.com, from 2002 to 2005.
From 2005 to 2008, Ghonim and his team set up the information gateway: Mubasher.info, which is the largest information portal in Arabic for business marketing.
Ghonim also worked as a consultant for several projects, including the development of an e-government system for Egypt as well as the Sindbadmall.com commercial website.
In March 2009, the Dubai-based consultant proposed the development of a knowledge encyclopedia for the Arab world.
On his Twitter bio, Ghonim describes himself as Constantly changing. Serious Joker. Internet Addict. Love challenging status quo.
