No more posts until 2006
Had a few things I wanted to post — notably the verdict against Ayman Nour, which is going to be a repeat of the Saad Eddin Ibrahim case — but alas, no time. My immediate reaction is sympathy for Nour’s two teenage sons, which are the clearest sign I’ve seen that he is a good man and does not deserve what is happening to him.
I’m off to somewhere far from all this stuff, over in the southern hemisphere where it’s the middle of summer. See you next year.

Hey Issandr,
Have a safe trip!
Good work with the Arabist, but what happened to Josh and Charles. I haven’t seen any of their postings for a while.

I know Issandr’s not here, but I thought the big story from Egypt this week should be mentioned. Eric Reeves has an article on his website where he reports that the SPLM has recorded 265 Sudanese refugees murdered by the police, about ten times the “official” number reported most places. http://www.sudanreeves.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=83
It also goes into a lot of historical detail on some other very relevant things, but I was wondering if Arabist readers had any more details about an accurate casualty figure.
