Situation in Egypt

What is amazing to me is how the media attention has such a limited attention span. The extent of which I didn't really notice until I began looking back in my Twitter feed at links that were being posted showing all of the unrest still going on in Egypt. Naively I guess I thought that everything was beginning to work itself out. They had appointed a Prime Minister, I had watched videos of him being ushered in on a wave of applause, with him promising that things will change. But for the past days I have noticed that there are still videos of protesters clashing with the army and the army having a very difficult time maintaining the necessary amount of control of the state.

I also saw this video that was posted by Arabzy who I follow on Twitter, click CC for English subtitles. But It is a boy retelling his story of capture and torture by "security" forces. Now he was held for 22 days and I don't know when the video was shot but it was uploaded today. And I think it adds perspective on the events that are still unfolding in Egypt. I think it is important to take into account that just because the media is no longer focused on the issue, doesn't mean it's no longer worth paying attention to.
