While on the burning streets of Cairo, much like what I saw and personally witnessed at Tunis at the very start of the Jasmine Revolution, the brave protesters were being slaughtered by
plainclothes thugs and government paid agent provocateurs and outright murderers dressed in police uniforms. As with all dictators, they feel they are invincible and the longer they stay in brutal power the more they believe they're even more invincible until the day of reckoning sees the real possibility that they'll be publicly lynched by the people for all the years of their evil tyranny. The raw reality for Hosni Mubarak will take time for it to sink in, but by then he may well find such raw reality as unmerciful as he has been to his own people for the past 30 long years. And, none of the billions of dollars in US foreign aid will ultimately save him from his final days of fate. It didn't for Tunisia's Ben Ali as the people there finally revolted against him and his wicked and greedy family at the expense of the poor Maghreb people.

Now 24 hours after Mubarak told the Egyptian nation he would hold on until his term expires in September, 2011, there are new and ominous developments inside Egypt that could see a dramatic change on the ground in favour of Hosni Mubarak's continuing to cling to power despite the march of a million protesters at Cairo. It appears the army is now instructing the protesters to disband and basically telling them go back home to where they're from. Up untl now, the army has been, if you will, rather neutral toward the anti-Mubarak protesters. But today, clashes emerged against them by the sudden emergence and arrival of organized pro-Mubarak street supporters. The longer Hosni now stays, the greater is the danger of a massive bloodbath coming into play. If the army decides to end by force the anti-Mubarak protests, then the country could find itself in some kind of civil war that could impact far beyond the borders of Egypt and other copycat revolutions could soon be taking place inside Jordan, Syria, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Yemen, and even Saudi Arabia. In the meantime, mass evacuations of tourist Brits, Yanks, Loonies, and other foreigners are taking place as Egypt enters a more dangerous phase against Mubarak and his stubborn regime that appears to be digging in at all costs no matter what. But whatever happens from here on out, nothing will be ever be the same either in Egypt or the Middle East as more lives are lost against the powerful forces of those sitting tyrants who have never had it so good until now. Now they aren't so sure if their own people will finally turn against them and seek to overthrow them by open revolution and widespread protests. More power to the good and oppressed people!!
I shall update this story "Game Over, Hosni" has matters develop inside Egypt and/or other parts of the Middle East in the coming days and weeks. All of this seems to have stemmed from Tunisia's impressive Jasmine Revolution. I mention that again simply because much to my surprise my 60+ postcards posted by me at Carthage-Tunis on The Epiphany have now been arriving over the past few days at America, Australia, Italy, Canada, Mexico, UK, etc. I think that may be a good sign that things inside Tunisia are finally on the mend and business is getting back to normal after the end of the Ben Ali regime by the good Maghreb people. I basically kissed goodbye to my Tunisian postcards from ever arriving due the massive uprising in the country. But thankfully I was proved wrong. It's interesting how small things tell us alot about what is really going on inside a country torn by internal revolt - when the mail stops is a clear sign things are unsettled, while when the mail gets delivered it tells us things are much like what we expect ... stability and normalcy is what we think!!
A few parting words for now must include Iran, Belarus, and Libya. What a pity that such tyrants like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran and Aleksandr Lukashenko of Belarus can still thrive and live openly with their evil dictatorships along with others like Col. Maummar al-Gaddafi of Libya, which I visited last month before heading to then Ben Ali's Tunisia. Let us hope the people bring an end to such tyrants whereever and however they are ...

MOSCOW — The United States and the European Union on Monday imposed sanctions against President Aleksandr G. Lukashenko and scores of other officials in Belarus for a broad crackdown on the opposition after the fraudulent presidential election late last year.
