Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
######, a 46 year old security guard at the American University in Cairo, gives his account of the 2011 revolution in Egypt. Based at AUC’s downtown Tahrir Square campus, for several days from January 25 into the second week of February 2011 he was assigned security shifts at the building at 5 Youssef El Guindi Street, a side street off Mohamed Mahmoud Street. During this time he tells of being able to “hear everything but see nothing,” and about the conversations he had with police officers stationed nearby. He reports on what the police had to say about the events at Tahrir Square, for example their not expecting significant demonstrations on January 25, and recalls meeting police officers who had not slept for four days after the 25th and who feared losing control of the protests. Some police officers and military personnel he spoke with revealed that they did not oppose the uprising against the government.
