Transitioning Egypt Still using Tear Gas


Those who were lost during the revolution were mourned yesterday in Tahrir Square, alongside demands to actually imprison members of the Mubarak regime for their committed ills and for killing protesters. 

However, when the tension rose security forces began to issue tear gas, reminiscent of the first days of the revolution. 

Tahrir Square still feels tense and is the litmus test going forward for Egypt's new government, and on Tuesday evening the litmus paper was showing acid levels of the colour orange. I don't find this alarming as tension levels are high amongst Egyptians, I do find it, however, unacceptable.

For all Those Wondering How Safe it is in Egypt ....

EGYPT FEELS SAFER THAN LONDON!

Throughout our trip I have not felt un safe once. 
As a visitor you can avoid areas, which may feel un safe, i.e. during protests etc,..
Every tourist-based area is covered with security and protection - think about it, Egypt is not about to 
lose it's most important assets, it's history, its tourism. 

Therefore, all I have to say is this:
Visit Egypt and Support its History, and its future! 



The King of Spades, Mubarak, has left remember ...
