World: Pro-Mubarak Egyptians starting to raise some hell with protesters

  • The demonstrations I saw yesterday looked like they were orchestrated. If these people were really pro-Mubarak where on earth have they been the past week? People on the streets were saying these demonstrators were hired by the NDP (ruling party).
  • PR professional Mayan Fawaz • Throwing suspicion at a number of pro-Mubarak supporters (tens of thousands, roughly) that first showed up yesterday not long after the Egyptian president made his speech. The counter-protesters broke through human chains set up by the protesters. They held up signs and chanted things of their own. They got into fistfights with the protesters. People got injured. Are they real? Or is Fawaz right? source
