another story on the strikes

From Al Jazeera, HERE.

But the most interesting anecdote in the article is on a different topic:

“The government seems to be scrambling under pressure from major powers and pro-democracy supporters, Al Jazeera’s Stefanie Dekker reported from the city. She said people in Tahrir Square were angered by a visit from Tamer Hosni, a famous Arab pop star, on Wednesday morning. Hosni previously made statements telling the demonstrators to leave the square, saying that Mubarak had offered them concessions. ‘His comments really did not go down very well,’ our correspondent said. The crowd reacted angrily and the military had to intervene to keep them away from him. ‘People feel very strongly here,’ Al Jazeera’s Dekker said.”
