Egyptian human rights activist and Global Voices Advocacy contributor Ramy Raoof has been, like many Egyptian protestors, online only sporadically over the past few days. When online, Raoof has uploaded photos taken on the streets of Cairo: photographs of the demonstrations, of street graffiti, and of soldiers, showing the world the view from the street.
Today, as Raoof was back online briefly, he tweeted a set of new photographs, urging followers to share them with the world:
The following are photographs taken by Ramy Raoof on January 28 and 29 and posted to Flickr. Captions are photographer's own.

Great photos
People need to understand that this will be the streets of America one day. Egypt is for us like the previews at the movie theater. We are the superpower and when we fall we will be the main event for the rest of the world. We can stop it, but only if people wake up, learn to sacrifice, and truly change themselves for the better.
