200 ? Look those Reuters journlists are pretty lazy and don't care to attend and cover an event to its end. Probably it started at 13:00 with 200 indviduals but then the march which ended two and a half hours later saw a number ranging from 1000 to 2000 persons.
Thanks Mostafa for the update. That's an impressive number.
Aren't a lot of the opposition forces Islamists?
Superluli,
We can never continue promoting Islamists in that manner.
What about you and me and many others who want true changes? Aren't we counted, baro 3ala el ballad wala eh?
yeah, but we need to distunguish ourselves from the Islamists.
It's not clear anywhere - that those people like you and me and oppoition but not Islamists
Islamists are organized and they get the help of the regime. So they are powerful but with no credibility like the regime's National Democractic Party NDP. We all know that the NDP is there because it is the regime's. If the regime is gone, the NDP will have no seats even next to a tree.
