As I note in here, MB's bargaining chip is that they can essentially play "spoiler" to #Egypt economic recovery: http://t.co/YwEyHY7IHC #pt

#Egypt Violence Spreads as Security Forces Attacked | by @MariamFam & @alaashahine for Bloomberg http://t.co/uzBP7RsrTA Includes my thoughts
RT @BrookingsDoha: @shadihamid: #الديمقراطية ليست مسألة مبدأ أو عقيدة بالنسبة لمعظم الناس فى المنطقة العربية. http://t.co/Q3AGLclwF4 @AlMasryAlYoum
.@mosaaberizing on yesterday's events: "As a couple of people were running away, they were gunned down and left quite a trail of blood." #pt
"It was three groups of armed people – police, army & residents – attacking helpless protesters who didn't even do much to fight back." #pt
At least 51 killed in yesterday's bloodshed across #Egypt | good overview from @PatrickKingsley in @guardian: http://t.co/eqKzwT3yeL #Oct6
"China’s Communist rulers see the deaths on Tiananmen Square in 1989 as blood well spilled." http://t.co/mF0IiKVFJr

Repression works, sometimes -- excellent piece in @TheEconomist on the (short-term) efficacy of brute force: http://t.co/mF0IiKVFJr
Ha RT @SultanAlQassemi: American friend: "Seeing a cab in Qatar is like seeing a unicorn"
RT @ianjameslee: Egyptians on both side, pro-Morsi and pro-Army, blame the #USA for the turmoil in #Egypt. At least they can agree on one thing.
"Foreigners...were frequently stunned at how little many Egyptians cared that Morsi had been democratically elected." http://t.co/iB4jf6PhoC
Great @perry_dan piece in @AP on growing doubts abt whether Arab world is "ready" for democracy: http://t.co/NnA6tJrWW3 Includes my thoughts
In pre-Arab Spring #Tunisia & #Egypt, took years for Islamist & liberal opposition to get over their distrust and cooperate seriously. #pt
Divisions btw MB & anti-coup non-Islamists will make it hard for them to accomplish anything. How long till they start coordinating? #Egypt
RT @Sarahcarr: Horrible scenes on tahrir st. Civilians and police and mb. Tyres burning, armed and masked men, teargas.
RT @Alastair_Beach: British journalist @aporamsey has been arrested near Tahrir Street. If anyone gets any info or can help pls contact.
.@Ferjani9arwi MB is still radioactive so even liberals/leftists who share anti-coup position refusing to cooperate w- them @Nabiha_Alam
Looking forward to reading my friend @nicholas_seeley's "A Syrian Wedding," abt getting married in a refugee camp: http://t.co/nxxDX9DN0b
.@Ferjani9arwi Yes, more non-Islamists are joining anti-coup protests, but seems their numbers are still relatively small @Nabiha_Alam
.@Ferjani9arwi I've seen little to suggest MB have significantly expanded their support beyond those already sympathetic @Nabiha_Alam #Egypt
