Embrace The Flaws

I'm a refugee conflict mediator, classical guitarist & former newspaper editor. I've lived in #Tahrir since 2009.

Most surprising part of Rabaa is the smell.. we're 3 days post-assault & STILL smells like dead bodies & burnt garbage. #rabaa #cairo

In #Rabaa Al-Daweyya: Line of 15 cars burnt to a crisp in front of Hospital, can't see the ground.. totally covered with charred Morsi signs

NOTE: Every1 inside Ramses Square now cheering Al-Sisi had to pass a strict military check to enter. (they must have Army connection) #Egypt

[Embrace The Flaws @EnjoyBeingHuman]

8 more military APCs entering Ramses Square. 200 pro-Sisi individuals inside the square cheering their arrival. #Cairo #egypt

[Embrace The Flaws @EnjoyBeingHuman]

Military now targeting most active protesters, since they're the ones who typically hold protesters' territory in squares overnight. #egypt

[Embrace The Flaws @EnjoyBeingHuman]

Would love to see footage of a protester throwing a rock at security forces with State TV's "Egypt Fighting Terrorism" moniker underneath..

[Embrace The Flaws @EnjoyBeingHuman]

If MB supporters can hold their ground in #Ramses until 10/11am, week-long protest may succeed. Next few hours critical. #egypt

[Embrace The Flaws @EnjoyBeingHuman]

Security forces will do anything to prevent Ramses from being a new Tahrir. Protest there would mess up local transportation greatly #Cairo

Taliban condemns #Egypt government for violence against protesters. Call for Morsi to be reinstated http://t.co/ruoswNdUzn

State news agency quoting health min officials saying they will not be giving any death tolls, numbers will come from the cabinet #egypt

Plain-clothed men close off side streets surrounding the Middle East News Agency near #Tahrir #egypt

[Embrace The Flaws @EnjoyBeingHuman]

The plain-clothed gov't officials inspecting vehicles could easily pass 4 MB supporters. Important 4 ppl 2 remember looks can be deceiving.

[Embrace The Flaws @EnjoyBeingHuman]

All cars driving on the roads near Abbassiya & 7th Settlement were inspected for weapons by gov't officials in normal clothes. #Cairo

[Embrace The Flaws @EnjoyBeingHuman]

MB protesters were organizing outside the smoke perimeter until an Army APC parked behind them. Appeared to be a distraction tactic #rabaa

[Embrace The Flaws @EnjoyBeingHuman]

Rumor MB blew up cars in parking lot at #Rabaa's perimeter, but seemed to me explosions created a smoke screen to hide army violence inside

Fly-bys over Tahrir by Air Force jets. Display of military might? Early Valentine's Day stunt? You decide: http://t.co/cNil9PI9kP #egypt

[Embrace The Flaws @EnjoyBeingHuman]

Just a casual evening in my home in Tahrir, watching Al-Jazeera English on TV report that Al-Jazeera English is blocked in #Egypt. wh-what..

[Embrace The Flaws @EnjoyBeingHuman]

If #Egypt wants an actual democracy the Constitution must be balanced FIRST. Electing some1 under an imbalanced system will not fix it.

Inviting the MB to join political process post-overthrow = Israel inviting Palestine to peace talks but refusing to stop settling their land
