This is epic. Protesters in Tahrir tomorrow will march to the US embassy to
protest the violent crackdown of #occupyoakland protests.

The Daily Kos, which has been closely following these developments Thursday,
noted that earlier in the week, Egyptian activists -- writing under the pen
name "Comrades in Cairo" -- had published an open letter of support to the
Occupy movements in the Guardian.
"To all those across the world currently occupying parks, squares and other
spaces, your comrades in Cairo are watching you in solidarity," the letter
began.
Indeed, we are now in many ways involved in the same struggle. What most
pundits call "the Arab Spring" has its roots in the demonstrations, riots,
strikes and occupations taking place all around the world, its foundations
lie in years-long struggles by people and popular movements. The moment that
we find ourselves in is nothing new, as we in Egypt and others have been
fighting against systems of repression, disenfranchisement and the unchecked
ravages of global capitalism (yes, we said it, capitalism): a system that
has made a world that is dangerous and cruel to its inhabitants. As the
interests of government increasingly cater to the interests and comforts of
private, transnational capital, our cities and homes have become
progressively more abstract and violent places, subject to the casual
ravages of the next economic development or urban renewal scheme.
The common aims and tactics of the two movements have occasionally led to
direct ties. In early October, The Huffington Post reported on an Egyptian
activist from Tahrir Square who delivered a powerful speech to the Occupy
crowd in downtown Manhattan.
And as Wired noted recently, Ahmed Maher, one of the leading figures of the
Egyptian movement, recently came to Washington, D.C., to help organizers
there extend their reach.
But after a dramatic Tuesday night in Oakland, where police officials
attempted to disburse a crowd of Occupy protesters using tear gas and other
non-lethal weapons, many have seen growing similarities between the two
movements -- and the type of resentment they seem to stir up.
Numerous people were injured in the police action Oakland, which filled
American television screens with images strikingly similar to those
streaming from Tahrir square during the early days of the Egyptian uprising
in January and February.
Although no one was killed in Oakland, HuffPost reported that an Iraq-war
veteran was critically wounded when a projectile allegedly fired by police
hit him in the head. | p******u
