“Leave, Leave, Leave”

Posted February 7th, 2011 by Lesley Hazleton

The anthem of the uprising?  This song was recorded in Tahrir Square on Friday, and subtitled and posted over the weekend:

It should come as no surprise, however, that Husni Mubarak and Omar Suleiman are tone deaf.  Human Rights Watch lists 297 confirmed killed since January 28.

      Am sure it’s led to messianic fantasies of El Khadr, ‘the green one’ (aka Elijah/Ilyis), come to free the people. In fact it looks a digital shadow from earlier taping that day, when thugs rode horses and camels into the crowd of protesters.
