Aerial imagery of the protests in Egypt

February 4, 2011

GeoEye has just released some high-resolution imagery of the protests in Egypt, taken over Tahrir Square in Cairo on January 29.

GeoEye does a great job of capturing fresh imagery from a variety of noteworthy events throughout the world. In the past, they’ve provided imagery from Burning Man 2010, the volcano in Iceland last April and President Obama’s inauguration two years ago.
I’ve taken this latest image and added it to Google Earth as an overlay, so you can download this KML file to see it for yourself.

    The Violence in Egypt was to bad for the people of Egypt to have seen.
    African leaders should see a vital reason to leave power as soon as the majority of the people they are leading get tired with them, instill of allowing blood bath amongst themselves.
    Liberia will soon be going to elections in October, Ellen has been convicted as a criminal against the state in Liberia, by the Truth and Reconciliation committee (TRC) of Liberia. But she has declared to the Liberian people that she is a Formidable come 2011 election….the TRC convicted her and ban her from politics for thirty (30) years, her refusal is a catalyst to war and violent. we the OPPOSITIONS TO THE RE-ELECTION OF ELLEN JOHNSON-SIRLEAF, A MOVEMENT to build a wall of moral Excellence around the Presidency as an Institution have started singing songs to citizens to use their votes to denial her power.
