As an old backup Egyptian interests me Of course the situation in Egypt, very, especially as I've already booked my annual vacation in this region. I for years to Egypt holidays down and I'm still driving, it may be ordered from me hypocritical seem Mubarak and his regime at the same time to throw my money in the throat, but read for yourself: in Egypt makes the tourism of 11.3% of the gross domestic product and denies almost a fifth of the foreign exchange revenue. Some 2.5 million Egyptians working directly or indirectly in the travel industry. That is about eleven percent of the working population. On average, a household has five people. That is, approximately twelve million people live on the travel industry, especially unskilled workers, who otherwise have no chance in the Egyptian labor market find plenty of work in the tourism industry. Also, if Egyptian clans and high Government officials in corrupt manner mutually profits play, (the Egyptians called these people the way, "fat cats") as the "little man" in Egypt has a relatively large amount of tourism. It would be an ethical balancing act if you go out there or not. On the one hand, the Mubarak regime would not be so long been without the tourist traffic in power, but once in the face of a Bedouin boys (who are mostly not real nomads more) has seen, if he was a 20 pound note (about € 2.80 uro) squeezed in the hand, will understand why tourism is so important for poor people there. It is not about charity, but about the people there be approached with respect and to allow these very children the prospect of a future job, because the waiters, cooks, Annimatoren, gardeners, boat captains, cleaning and service staff deserve to Egyptian conditions are not bad and, in one season as much earn it, sparingly provided, can get along for the rest of the year. If all the tourists so for political reasons, ruled Egypt as a holiday destination, so have many people there had no money and no work and food ... .. no matter what you have done .... a boycott would have no solution, so I drove to Egypt on holiday . All that remains let's hope that after the upheaval of Egypt tourism may come in better hands and profits from it are more the Egyptian people as before. First of all is probably just the tourism industry have to suffer through the changes, which to me for many Egyptians I have met there sorry, but it could also be a new start to a better and fairer Egyptian travel industry. Enough now of traveling really well ... it never really went to the Egyptians, most of the gains were accessible to foreign "investors" or exhibiting them to government officials the appropriate licenses and permits. Actually, it should not have too many illiterates (whole 50%) give , hungry and poor people in Egypt, as the country would have to be relatively well off, but it's like anywhere in the world. Even Mubarak's regime no longer had enough money to repair even the flagship projects of the country to hold. For example, the power generation facilities at the Aswan Dam has long maintained only poor leading to constant power cuts throughout the country. This is due to the national debt of Egypt, at least 105% of GDP, which must be served. Also, a strong debt relief was granted as a reward for Egypt's stance in the Iraq war did not help much. It's just always there too little money, especially for education and social! And so the very poor public school free only until the age of 12, a sound academic training costs according to European standards in Egypt at least 50 000 Egyptian pounds and is hardly affordable for an ordinary Egyptians. Something of a revolt, many Egyptians have seen it coming, only one spoke about it in the face of strong police presence in the country always very quiet. I am surprised the riots and protests, however, very much, I knew the discontent of the Egyptians, would not expect so much open heart, because you still had a lot of respect for the heavily armed police and hard in the country. Given the obvious choice manipulation have been after the last election in November have the frustration of most Egyptians so large that the tolerance attitude has been transformed into the population. Even parts of the ruling party felt that things could not go, 80 percent for Mubarak's party were deeply implausible. "We then followed the pictures from Tunisia," said an Egyptian named Husin easier. It stated in the Egyptian state television: "Tunisia is just a country in which people could not tell their opinion freely, while the Egyptians are doing very well is." Husin said then added: "For me, the government has misjudged the mood of the country quite wrong!" Better it would have no political analyst can say! Even Mubarak's stance on the Iraq war and the Egyptian arch-enemy Israel faces put a seed of anger in their own people, it seemed like it had come. Their own people was directed against his self-appointed life president. Already on Tuesday, 25.01.11, at the first protests on the Tahrir Square in Cairo, there were violent clashes of protesters with the police, who were apparently provoked by the police. To date, the clashes last in which to complain about any deaths and injuries are on.
Here's a small taste of how ruthless the Egyptian police on peaceful demonstrators adds:
also marched on the military with heavy equipment, but acted contrary to the police quietly. The USA will now obviously a change of power in Egypt. While President Hosni Mubarak holds on to his office, there are some media reports occurring negotiations behind Mubarak's back, in which Obama is negotiating a government interim solution involving the military - why and the only reason why the Egyptian military behaves reasonable, it is in Obama's chess held and wants to be on the winning side. Whether the former Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Mohamed el-Baradei, the as opposition leaders are not even brought into play, is the right choice for Egypt's emergency well is more than questionable, as it is ambitious in its own country as American and UN stooge.
While all of these events began suddenly interfere with the Egyptian communications services, by telephone to the Internet, so many Internet services and mobile phone networks were no longer available. Then, it happened on Thursday. ... Egypt is offline. At one stroke, it seems, was almost the whole country disconnected from the outside world. The shutdown occurred on Thursday evening at 23.34 German time clock, reports the Internet consulting firm Renesys. Thus nearly 85 million people been excluded from the exchange of information with the rest of the world, a unique event in the history of the communication age. First collateral damage to Egypt's economy can be seen now, but there was one exception. For a single Internet service provider had been exempted from the restrictions applied by the Egyptian government apparently: Noor Data Networks. The services of this company, whose name in Egyptian, the word for "light" are also on Friday to one hundred percent yet been reached from all over the world. A gap in the gate? A mishap? Hardly. Noor Data Networks is the provider, on the Egyptian stock exchange is connected to the Internet. Mubarak Men have set priorities, or it has been so ordered them. Whether the financial elite is now behind the insurgency lies or angry about it is an open question, at least they were able to bring your little sheep on the Egyptian stock market to dry. ... What a coincidence! I definitely keep that in mind.

your Micha
