With fighter jets passing low over protestors in Egypt’s Tahrir Square, there seems to be no sign of Mubarak bowing out. As protestors defy the 4pm curfew for a second day, the spirit of the Egyptian people seems truly unbreakable; after the first pass of the jets, the crowd actually grew. These people might be scared, but more than anything, they’re determined and they’re defiant.
When the protestors said on Friday that they weren’t going home until Mubarak was gone, they meant it. They’re fighting for their freedom and their future, and no amount of intimidation is going to make them back down.
Godspeed.
