Egypt's June 30

Some stuff on  what's happening:

Woman gives birth to ‘Tamarod’ in Tahrir.  Newborn of the revolution is a good sign that the regime will fall, group says.  An Egyptian woman on Sunday gave birth to a baby girl in Tahrir Square where she was attending a rally by the opposition demanding President Mohammad Mursi step down, activists said.  The woman named her baby “Tamarod”, Arabic for rebellion”, after the popular opposition group, which is leading a nationwide campaign for Mursi’s removal and holding early presidential elections.

...Tahrir Square protesters show President Mursi the ‘red card’ In the past week, Egyptians have been stocking up on food and filling up their cars with petrol, in a showdown that has already seen eight people killed, including an American, and scores more injured as protesters from both sides took to the streets. 

Why I would rather live in Gaza than Egypt, my birthplace.
Despite having Egyptian citizenship, family ties, and more than six job offers in my field, the Monitor's correspondent in Gaza explains why he has decided against moving back......
.....While filming, we were in front of Tahrir Square, the birthplace of the Egyptian revolution. A Yemeni colleague was taking photos with his mobile phone of the place that means a lot for a Yemeni who demonstrated in Sanaa’s Change Square to topple a dictatorship.

As he was taking pictures, a teenager snatched the iPhone 4 from my colleague’s hand and walked away confidently. The Yemeni followed him and tried to stop him. To his surprise, the boy turned back with a knife in his hand and threatened that he will stab my colleague if he continues to ask for the phone.

We were nine guys and three women. We thought that we could help him if we all go out of the minibus and frighten the boy, but the boy went wild and started to scream.

A few seconds later, more than 20 of his peers came with knives and sticks and were about to attack us. An older guy riding a motorbike came and the boy jumped behind the biker and they sped off. No one even tried to stop and watch what was going on. At this very moment, our fear made us get into the minibus and drive away.....

....At midday in Cairo, Soraya said on Weekend Edition Sunday, things were peaceful. But there were concerns that pro-Morsi Egyptians might clash with the protesters later in the day. Many eyes, she said, are on the Egyptian army. Its leaders have said they will "protect the will of the people." Protesters say that means the army will defend them, as it did at times during the Arab Spring protests against Mubarak. But Morsi's supporters say it means the army will stand up for the democratically elected president.
