I'm afraid my colleagues and I haven't been able to give much attention to the security situation in the suburbs or the provinces, simply because in the end the future of the country has seemed to depend on the events in the centre and in Heliopolis, where we assume Mubarak is bunkered. But I haven't heard of anyone killed in lawlessness. Fifty pounds was the usual wage for taking part in vote rigging activities and I doubt anyone would put his life at risk at that price. I have heard 5,000 pounds several times but that is pure rumour.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026403603195204802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012147012497511867.post-78710901750888816762011-02-03T07:56:56.302-08:002011-02-03T07:56:56.302-08:00Long time resident of Cairo, currently in Doki, ho...Long time resident of Cairo, currently in Doki, hosting friends and journalists who have had to leave downtown. Your blog has really helped me get through the past couple of days. Your post on the army is spot on. Quick question: a friend from Shubra just got in touch with me. He reports widespread violence throughout his neighborhood including looting and killing starting Friday through the weekend and the wholesale purchase of support for the regime at 50 EGP per head yesterday. Any more information on this?
