   hey hossam, i know a lot of folks who read your blog don’t read arabic (including me). it would be great if you could type a quick summary of some of these posts. as an anti-war and palestine solidarity organizer i am particularly interested in this one. i’d like to keep track of the emerging democracy movements in egypt, but the news in english is either pathetic, unavailable or in arabic.

   Hey K, I know some of the readers who check out the blog do not read Arabic.. I do my best to translate the news, but honestly sometimes I’m in short of time.. so I try to write the headline of the subject in English, and hyperlink to the article, hoping that might attract people’s attention to the issue, even when I didn’t translate it…
   I’ll try my best in the future to include more synopsis in English, but I can’t promise I’ll be able to do that every time..
   BEst of luck with your activism, and I hope you help us spread the word about the industrial action in EGypt…
