Entry 16:

It is 12:20 am Feb the 3^rd officially. A whole tense hour past since last entry. People are tired and calling in less. The latest is that there is no more direct contact with the very few “thugs” still around apart from throwing rocks back and forth from both sides. The rough tally is 3000 people injured and there are 20 ambulances surrounding the square.

The captive “thugs” have cited as much as 5000 Egyptian pounds of pay off for their participation. Protestors are starting to leave because of normal “human” reasons such as back aches, head aches and the need to hug their children and loved ones. I am tired but plan to stay up all night as long as phone calls are coming in. I am tired and afraid that maybe the calls are traceable. I, like everyone else, do not know what the president has planned. But we will stay the course.

If you would like to end it all today… It is unanimous for everyone on the ground that if he steps down and leaves things to Vice President as transition until elections, we will go home. This blog promises on behalf of protestors that everyone will go home and stay home if this compromise is met. Be a hero Mubarak and do it for the youth of Egypt.

You are so close to meeting with God soon and you have so much to answer for. Please reconsider and do it for us. We will know that that you were being honest and you truly love Egypt and its children.
