Egypt has banned street protests

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12283849

Apparently, one day after thousands of people joined a "day of revolt" against the government of President Hosni Mubarak, Egypt has decided to ban all "public gatherings, protests and marches".

  2. How convenient - ban the protest just as it's happening. It seems like much logic has gone into that action. Doesn't the government realize that when people are protesting it, it means that they PROBABLY won't listen to its rules anymore?

  3. The decision to ban all the public gatherings in Egypt is going to intensify the turmoil. I don't really know how Egypt operate in term of civil rights, the people have the right to express their anger towards their government, especially if the government is not performing at the people's level of expectations.
