Thank you!Rogi, thank you so much for listening and sending along your comments. These dispatches were recorded on an iPhone. This is a great new way for researchers to file short audio spots quickly. I hope that we will be gathering more sound from our researchers around the world. Keep sending your feedback.

Man! This is awesome!you know the technical difficulties, so I won't bother with that. I like your enthusiasm, how animated and breathless, you are. I like how well you speak without script, too. Thank you very much for doing this diary. It takes courage and commitment and, I would think, it may be extra hard for a woman! Good job! In the US, on my facebook wall, at least, we're hungry for news of Egypt and you make us feel we're right there with you! |

Free Arab World Now !
Please keep up the good work, we need people like you more than ever before to bring us news across all borders, time has come to say to the greedy world "Enough is Enough!!". Thank you.
My message to the Arab World:
Solidarity, activism and revolutions are beyond borders.
Freedom has been ringing in Tunisia, and now in Egypt, what about your country?
When enough is enough?
Indeed, at stake is nothing less than the dignity (defined as “the quality of being worthy of esteem or respect”) of an entire nation whose despotic leaders, supported by greedy foreign powers, have been trying to destroy its ability to resist and undermine its determination to live a dignified life.
Please support our freedom, your freedom and the freedom of the Arab World by signing our book of freedom at: http://www.TahrirSquare.net - May God Help us all!
