The revolution's art

I went down to the square today because of a demonstration planned to reaffirm opposition to the election results, and calling for the dismissal of the candidacy of Ahmad Shafik (the last PM appointed during Mubarak's reign). A few hundred people showed up. It was hot, and I was tired. Nothing new was being chanted or said, so I slowly went off to the side and started taking pictures of the graffiti/murals mainly on the wall fence of the old American University campus on Mohammad Mahmoud street. this street witnessed fierce battles between ULTRAS (fanatics) of both Ahli and Zamallik football clubs and security forces in November and December which claimed more than two hundred lives, and many more with serious eye injuries (security forces deliberately using rubber bullets aimed at the eyes/head).

Heads of the Supreme Armed Forces Council as heads of the snake (I don't read hieroglyphics)

military as hold over- right morphing from Shafik (presidential candidate and last PM of Mubarak) to Amr Musa (presidential candidate and FM of Mubarak) to Tantawi (head of Military council and DM of Mubarak) - Left puppets on a string

Saad Zaghloul, nationalist leader of 1919 revolution and first PM of independent Egypt gives the finger to the military council "There's no use, sons of bitches"
