Dear Friends - This is a letter that we have received twice from some folks
in Egypt with their perspective on what is happening there. *Totally
different* story from what the press is presenting. An interesting read.



Dear friends,

I am writing this to you as a witness to what is going on from the streets
of Cairo over the last few days.  Rania and I have been following the
developments since January 25th, which started with a large group of
Egyptian youth taking to Tahrir square in an anti-government protest with
specific demands.  I know some of these people who were in that group and I
talked with them.  What is happening now has nothing to do with this
original protest!  What is happening right now is a conspiracy to topple
Mubarak from outside the country!!  I am not a conspiracy theorist, but let
me tell you what I have personally witnessed on the streets of Cairo.

I want to share first what the LORD told me on Friday morning.

I went to the LORD in prayer on Thursday evening, praying like many others
for protection and for the restoration of peace and security in my land.  I
told the LORD: "Father, answer my prayers with rain", which He has several
times before.  I went to sleep.  I woke up on Friday morning and went
directly to prayer.  Immediately, I sensed a strong urgency from the LORD
saying: "As the people of Egypt presented their requests to Mubarak, I am
calling on My people to rise up before me and present their requests to me
for their nation".  I went on to hear the LORD: "Let the Holy Council
assemble".  I didn't understand who this Council was, but I knew in my heart
that the LORD meant that there are people in my land that are called by the
LORD to stand before him as His Holy Council with authority to make
declaration over the land, to establish the Kingdom in the land.  My demands
to the LORD were not political by nature.  I prayed for "good news to the
poor, freedom for the oppressed, healing for the brokenhearted, and the
acceptable year of the LORD" as the Holy Spirit gave guidance. The LORD
spoke to me the words "JUSTICE" and "TRUTH". As I went to talk with Rania
afterwards, she told me that she had been awake all through the night, and
that IT RAINED around 12:45 am.  It was very strong, but not for a very long
time (a few minutes).  I knew then that it was the LORD. The LORD spoke
Psalm 97:1-2:

The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad;
   let the distant shores rejoice.
Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
   righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Indeed, there had been unusual clouds and very thick fog in December over
Cairo, unprecedented in frequency and intensity.  Again, the words TRUTH (or
righteousness in the English translation) and JUSTICE resounded.

As Rania and I followed the unfolding of events including the announced
change in government and president Mubarak's speech, we wondered why the
international news media is focusing only on the thousands in Tahrir square
who are escalating their demands and refusing dialogue.  The news media is
reporting this as "the people of Egypt" wanting Mubarak to leave
immediately.  Did they ask the "people of Egypt?".  For one, they did not
ask me!  Where are those, like myself, that want change and reform, but
accept the changes that Mubarak is proposing, and want a peaceful transition
through elections in September?

We decided to take to the streets to voice our opinion.  On Tuesday February
1st we went to Mustafa Mahmoud square in Mohandessin.  There were about one
thousand people there around 3:30 pm. (yes, we broke the curfew).  the crowd
grew to about 2500 by 5:00 pm.  People were calling their friends over the
phone telling them to come.  We left at about 6:30 pm and returned
yesterday, Wednesday, starting at 11:00 am.  The small group had swelled
to TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE standing together with banners saying things
like:
- yes to stability, yes to Mubarak
- give change a chance
- we are sorry Mr. president
- we accept dialogue, we trust you
- no to ElBaradei, no to the Muslim brotherhood (many like this one)
- we are the Egyptians, where is Al-Jazeera, let them come and see
- no to corruption, no to vandalism
- we got what we asked the president for, so why are people still in
Tahrir?  Who are they? What do they want?
etc., etc., etc.
By 2:00 pm, the crowd had grown to SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE,
maybe up to a million, stretching from Sphinx square to Sudan street.  We
had a great sense of unity and victory.  We met with people who were in the
original protest in Tahrir square who decided to join us saying: we got what
we asked for, and now we accept Mubarak's changes and proposals".

We left around 4:15 pm.  The numbers had grown even more, POSSIBLY OVER A
MILLION. As we drove home we saw the same slogans on banners all over the
city, on cars, on walls, on shop windows. We learned that similar
demonstrations are taking place ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, IN MAY DIFFERENT
CITIES. THIS IS THE CRY OF THE PEOPLE OF EGYPT THAT IS BEING TOTALLY
IGNORED BY THE INTERNATIONAL NEWS MEDIA. Is this on purpose??!!! I am
perplexed!!!  I am wondering: How come CNN, the BBC, and others are
reporting ONLY the anti-government protests as the voice of the people? This
is not JUSTICE, this is not TRUTH. There have been reports that these people
are being paid by the government.  NOT TRUE! I was there with many many
others.  I SAW THE STREETS.

Now to the situation in Tahrir square. Only a few people (hundreds?) are
still there from the original protesters. They have been slowly replaced by
other HIGHLY ORGANIZED GROUPS.  They all have the same model of cell
phones.  They all have the same blankets (eye witnesses). THESE ARE NOT THE
PEOPLE OF EGYPT.  Some witnesses claim that they don't look Egyptians, and
don't sound Egyptians (different accent, different dialect).  THIS IS A BIG
ORGANIZED COUP TO TRY TO CONVINCE THE WORLD THROUGH THE MEDIA THAT EGYPT
WANTS MUBARAK TO GO, AND THE MEDIA IS PART OF THE DECEPTION.  People in
Tahrir square are escalating the situation on purpose to topple President
Mubarak FOR THEIR OWN HIDDEN AGENDAS.  This is TYPICAL OF THE MUSLIM
BROTHERS, AND EVERYBODY IN THE STREETS OF CAIRO KNOWS THIS.  We heard people
on the streets saying that the plot to take over the country is now clear.
THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS.  The escalation of
violence in Tahrir square is because of this.  Egyptians who love Egypt, the
millions that took to the streets yesterday, want this to end. They fully
understand that president Mubarak is between a rock and a hard place, that
he cannot quench the unrest in Tahrir through the army, so the people want
to go to Tahrir to disperse the crowds there by themselves.  People in
Tahrir are vastly outnumbered.  If Egyptians go the Tahrir square to take
control of the situation, more chaos will erupt, giving a chance to the
international media to blame the President even more.

If Egypt falls, then neighbouring countries are going to fall one after the
other. WE NEED PRAYER, WE ASK FOR TRUTH, WE ASK FOR JUSTICE, and above all
LORD, in wrath, REMEMBER MERCY.  Stand with us. The Lord calls Egypt "My
people". He is calling on His HOLY COUNCIL in the land of Egypt to stand
before Him, to make declarations in the heavenlies to establish a new
'constitution' in the land based on the principles of the Word of God, to
establish a 'new foundation' for His kingdom to come.  Pray for the schemes
of the enemy to be annulled and voided.  Pray for deception to be exposed.
We humble ourselves and pray.  We seek the Face of the LORD.  We turn from
our wicked ways. LISTEN TO US LORD, FORGIVE US, HEAL OUR LAND.  In the Name
of Jesus.

In Him, standing for God's purposes in Egypt,
