Day of Gathering (Links)

Every Friday (known as Yom el-Goma--'the day of gathering' in Arabic) I will post links here under this heading that I have accumulated over the week that do the best job of summing up the week's events in Egypt.

Not sure whether I will separate them by day or event at this point, we'll just see how it evolves over time. Unless in quotes, all the commentary underneath links is my own.

Since I just decided to rejig this blog yesterday, this post is very light on linkage.

As the Anniversary Approaches

Street protests in Cairo are expected to grow significantly today in anticipation of tomorrow's one-year anniversary of Hosni Mubarak's abdication.

Ahram Online reports that at least ten separate marches are slated to converge on the defense ministry building in the Nasr City neighborhood throughout the day from different parts of the capital.
