As a free man, I support the protests. The Tunisian student who burnt himseld has a courage very few hold. He reminds me a little of the burning monk though the student wasn't as composed. The protests (which will turn to riots if they have not done so yet) in Egypt are very important to the future of Africa. This is history in the making.

As Mahdi I can neither support or speak against the protests. There must always be order though I prefer legitimate rule. We must remember that America has yet to provide support to the protests. There is a reason for that.
