I read the Article in the New York Times titled "Protesters in Egypt Defy Ban as Government Cracks Down" by Kareem Fahim, and it made me worry about the intense situation in Egypt. Human rights groups are saying that more than 2,000 Egyptians have been arrested for protesting an end to the government of president Hosni Mubarak. Skirmishes involving fire, chanting, marching, rock throwing, and gasoline bombs are occurring, and it is thought to be engineered by the illegal Brotherhood organization. Egypt has an extensive and widely feared police force, and it "deployed its might in an effort to crush the protests". Egypt's allies, including the United States, are starting to worry and its stock index fell more than 6 percent. I hope that the situation in Egypt will calm down and the protesting will come to an end peacefully.
