From Viva Palestina web site
"Catch the guy in the red spandex!!"
According to the most recent "dispatches" from George Galloway's convoy in El-Arish, Egypt to the Viva Palestina web site, chaos has broken out at the port. Here is the report:
"Our situation is now at a crisis point! Riot has broken out in the port of Al- Arish.
This late afternoon we were negotiating with a senior official from Cairo who left negotiations some two hours ago and did not return. Our negotiations with the official was regarding taking our aid vehicles into Gaza.
He left two hours ago and did not come back. Egyptian authorities called over 2,000 riot police who then moved towards our camp at the port.
We have now blocked the entrance to the port and we are now faced with riot police and water cannons and are determined to defend our vehicles and aid.
"Hello!!!"
"The Egyptian authorities have by their stubbornness and hostility towards the convoy, brought us to a crisis point."
And, of course, there are urgent appeals to call every Egytian embassy in the world and send money etc."
=========================================================================
Thus, it appears that the Egyptian cops and the VP folks are fighting, protesters are being arrested and a wonderful time is being had by all.
Way to go, Galloway!
