Egyptian activists in second revolution

Egypt is having its second revolution in a year, I am told by one of my Egyptian friends in Cairo today. Over a million people are in Tahrir square and protesting in Alexandria today, calling for the ouster of military interim rule. At least 80 people have been killed as the protest, mostly non-violently, in just the past two days.

Tomorrow, she and I will be co-facilitating a live video conference group of 9 university students from Egypt, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Europe and US, discussing how to better understand each other and events like this.
