Telecomix: Hacking for freedom. On January 28, 2011, the Egyptian government cut the Internet. A black out of such magnitude was unprecedented. Behind the scenes, a small group of citizens from around the world tried to find alternative means of communication for Egyptians. At the front lines was Telecomix – an entity that seemingly has no boundaries. On July 8, thousands of demonstrators flooded Tahrir Square in protest. Five months after the fall of Hosni Moubarak, people continue to protest their discontent over the army’s inability to implement the promised reforms.
On Thursday evening, hundreds of young people sang: Anas al-Fiqqi was declared innocent. Al-Fiqqi, previous intelligence Minster, was acquitted on July 5 after having been accused of embezzling public money to finance his party’s election campaigns (along with Moubarak’s campaigns). On January 28, 2011, access providers complied with the Egyptian governments injunctions to suspend Internet services, causing a 90% decline in traffic.
