Tahrir (Liberation) Square in Cairo, the capital city of Egypt is amongst the top trends on Google and Twitter at this hour. This is because of the rising tension in the Egyptian capital.


Here are a few of the news items for Tahrir (Liberation) Square, Cairo, Egypt:


Egypt protests: Tension rises as jets buzz Cairo square

 

Tension is mounting in the Egyptian capital Cairo after the military staged an apparent show of strength during a sixth day of anti-government protests.
Two air force jets and a helicopter repeatedly flew low over Tahrir (Liberation) Square, the main gathering point for demonstrators.

A column of tanks arrived there only to have its path blocked by protesters.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called for an "orderly transition" of power in Egypt.

Mrs Clinton told ABC News that Washington wanted to see change that would bring about a democratic government.

"We want to see restraint, we do not want to see violence by any security forces," she added.

Tantawi in also Commander in Chief of the Egyptian Armed Forces.

Just before hand, two F16s flew low over the square, where mass protests have continued for a sixth day. Some protesters in the square believe the flights are intended to disperse them, but are saying they are not scared. They say they remain committed to staying to protest despite the dramatic noise made by the planes.

Helicopters have been circling since the morning.

According to Al Jazeera, there are about 10,000 people currently in the square, despite today's 2PM curfew.

People are being searched by the army as they enter the square, and people with cameras are not allowed in.

Egypt protesters tend to put faith in army

Experts say the goodwill between the army and the people stems largely from the fact that the military has rarely been called upon to cope with civilian unrest. That could change now.

 Reporting from Cairo —

As Yousef Ahmed, a 25-year-old protester, marched along a riverfront boulevard Saturday, a soldier atop one tank extended an arm and helped him climb aboard. They embraced and posed for a picture.

"He's my cousin," Ahmed said, laughing. He said he has 10 other relatives serving in the military. "I asked him if the army had orders to attack us. He said, 'You're family. How can we harm our family?'"

Special Valentine Wish

I'd like to hang a valentine
Upon the world's front door...
With hearts of love and peace entwined
To last forevermore.

With love to guide our daily path,
There'd be no one in need;
God's blessings would be shared by all
Of every race and creed.

Peace would come to all the world
As nations great and small,
Would put aside their selfish aims
To work for the good of all.

If I could have my wish today,
I'd wish for nothing more
Than to hang a great big valentine
Upon our world's front door.
 

author- William Franklin Jr.

Space Shuttle Challenger Explosion

City Still Mourning 25 Years After Challenger Explosion

Search Amazon.com for Challenger Explosion 

 

It's been 25 years since teacher Christa McAuliffe died aboard the Challenger space shuttle, and people in her hometown of Concord, New Hampshire, still don't like to talk about it. 

"It hurts every time the anniversary comes around. Especially for those that knew her," said New Hampshire Executive Council member Daniel St. Hilaire, 43. "My son is 18 and a freshman in college, and I've never sat down with him to talk about it."

A long-time resident of Concord, St. Hilaire went to Concord High School, where McAuliffe taught Social Studies and was an adviser for the Youth in Government club, which he was a member of. He remembers her as a passionate teacher, who stressed real world, hands-on experience both in school and out. "She was a different kind of teacher -- she didn't just lecture in classroom," he said. "She firmly believed that kids would learn better by experience and she lived her life that way."

McAuliffe's husband Steven, who is a federal judge in Concord, N.H. released a statement today saying, "I know Christa would say that that is the most precious lesson - ordinary people can make extraordinary contributions when they remain true to themselves and enthusiastically pursue their own dreams wherever they may lead. Our family knows that generations of students and teachers will continue to share her love of learning and love of life, and will do great things for our world."

A whole generation has grown up since McAuliffe and six other astronauts died on Jan. 28, 1986, and still her legacy lives on in this small city about an hour north of Boston. She was passionately loved by students and residents, and her death affects those who remember her. Some people still tear up at the mention of McAuliffe's name.
