Situation is Stable

Entry 32:

6:09 pm Cairo Time Feb4 2011

It has been more than two hours since the last entry and all the calls said the same thing. People are chanting and singing and discussing the 7 demands on display. Spirits are high and as the sun sets there is a sense of achievement that the day light passed without violence.

A protestor who had brought his wife with him today opted to take her home before nightfall indicating that there is no need to let our guards down yet. He will return on his own. Generally though, no one appears to be going home.

From past experience, they seem to linger till dawn. If you are at home, and you have been glued to the set since this morning, now is the time to give yourselves and your children a break. Say a prayer for those in the square and check up with us in an hour.
It is now all about the wait and see.

Thankfully today because of the sheer number of those supporting us, food and medicine was allowed in. Stomachs are full and wounds are bandaged and the wait for a reward for past efforts begins.
