The scuttle is there will be another revolution, starting August 24.

Can anyone confirm this?

We were just saying the opposite - saying that things feel more stable / safer - atmosphere is a bit more like before 25 Jan

Can't exactly pin point examples but less tension around

Well there wouldn't be 25 Jan if it wasn't for how it's been like before 25 Jan

But seriously though, more stable/safer atmosphere? You are joking, right? I mean look at the mess with fuel, electricity, water, food, the cabinet, etc.! And most of all, the MB's attitude and hypocrisy towards "America and Israel" (Which is something that even the idiots that actually gave Morsi their votes hate both him and the MB )

Yes something is gonna happen in August's 24, but my guess is that it's not gonna be THAT big, not in the beginning of it anyway........

I'm not talking about the government or economy Just the atmosphere on the streets

Last week my brother-in-law sent an employee to the bank - when he got back to the factory he was shot twice and robbed. I really don't think it's any better - I think less is being shown in the media so as not to scare people who will come in and spend their money. Also recently a man was shot very close to my husband's factory. Also a lot of things that have been reported in Sinai. Why would you think things are more stable?

I agree, Janice.

Cursory review of today's headlines:

Street shooting in Giza
One killed, two wounded in "Ala_khasas" (family squabble)
Stealing cattle in Kafr El Sheikh
Three dead, three injured in Assiut (family squabble)
Five arrested for kidnapping and raping a girl in Suez
One injured in a brawl over bread in Ismailia
Car jacking in Ismailia


Of course, there's more. Egypt is far from stable and secure.

From where I am (outside of Egypt), Syria is the only conflict that is shown on tv or written about. The only thing I've seen about Egypt is a little article/story on BBC.

Along with pathetic political analysis from armchair quarterbacks reporting from anywhere but Egypt itself.

Wow! This almost made me teary eyed, and made me feel homesick Provided it all happened on the same day, otherwise disqualified immediately!
