I'm sure many of you have been disturbed by the events that are taking place in Egypt at the moment. The civil hostility is directed toward the incumbent president, but of course is having an impact on the whole nation. There are reports of riots, looting, and even anecdotal claims that the police are firing weapons in the streets just to get people to go home. Of course, not everyone can. One family with Australian connections is trapped in Cairo and can't get to their home town of Alexandria. This uncertainty and insecurity is adding to the general lacking of safety. There is high anxiety for families around the world.
Keep in mind, also, that Cairo is a big city... the population of Australia living in one city! That's a lot of people on the streets and hard for any government, or police force, to maintain order.
Pray for this nation.
