SOCIAL MEDIA REVOLUTION
AND TUNISIAN YOUTH
UNREST SPREADS TO EGYPT

Egyptian youth have once again used the Internet and social media to spark massive and unheard of protests in the streets of Egypt, protesting the harsh police state of the Hosni Mubarak regime, and as ANONYMOUS says, the citizens of Egypt are being denied their freedom that was set by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

JTMP has been reporting on the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia (see posts below), and it seems that the unrest in Tunisia has spread to Egypt and inspired the youth there to also rise up and demand their human and civil rights from their government. Cell phones, Facebook, Twitter, Google, and more have been used to spark, organize, document, and even report to the outside world the events going on inside their country. The Mubarak government has furiously tried to shutdown Google, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, in an attempt to silence the unrest. It is reported that Mubarak's security forces are attempting to silence and censor foreign journalists from reporting what is going on inside of Egypt.

Initial reports seem that the citizens have welcomed the army, for the Egyptians are upset with the police forces of the Mubarak regime, and not the army. Al Jazeera English is carrying the events in Egypt LIVE, and has good analysis of the events.
