EXCERPTS:

Plan (B)

At the Friday sunset and as the protestors were keeping their ground and bracing for another round of courageous confrontations, the police forces -and all of a sudden -withdrew from the streets to be replaced by small and rather symbolic infantry units of the military.

The protestors cheered on watching the military units and people clustered around the armed vehicles and shook hands with the soldiers but little did they know what the regime had in store for them.

As night was falling over Cairo and major cities of Egypt the police conspiracy or rather the treason was already in play;

• All police stations around Egypt have become simultaneously deserted; all police officers were given an open home leave until further notice.
• The police stations were left with detectives and soldiers in charge without superior command and moreover with instructions to discreetly let the criminals loose.
• In few hours almost every police station in the country and every major city police headquarter had been looted and set on fire.
• A number of jail breaks began to occur the same night and the following day.
• Many incidents of looting and breaking entries began to be heard of around most cities of Egypt and reported by the state television.
• A nationwide panic and intimidation have begun to sweep across Egypt.
• With the absence of security forces the people began to form community watches to patrol the streets all night protecting properties and their loved one from possible attacks by the looters
• The overwhelming sense of insecurity has led a considerable fraction of the Egyptian people to look at the uprising from a pain-benefit perspective and be inclined to see an end to it one way or another and to even side with Mubarak who seemed to them as the only option to guarantee the security and stability they have sacrificed.

And this exactly what plan (B) has been all about, only people who fell for it never managed to figure out the conspiracy behind. The security vacuum that scared most Egyptians was nothing more than another dirty scheme by the Mubarak's regime.

On Sunday night, 30^th January and on one of the live news shows that was discussing the uprising in Egypt, Omar Afifi, a former Egyptian police captain told BBC Arabic TV that – according to his resources in Washington- there is a close cooperation now between Mubarak and Israel as to how to control and subdue this uprising. Even more, he said that a cargo of special automatic sniper rifles were being shipped from Israel to the Egyptian internal security forces to be used to take down the leaders of the protestors in case the demonstrations were growing in number and getting out of control.

Any way and despite the fact that the veracity of those statements remain hard to verify but it goes without saying that Israel is watching this dramatic scenario of a close ally to Israel going down with great concern.

Israel enjoys a 30 years old peace treaty with Egypt- Camp David accords- during which Mubarak has kept not only its terms carefully observed but he also kept quiet borders with Israel and in a great way has helped Israel to tighten its siege on Gaza.
