Four Days of Protest in Pakistan

Have you ever noticed how often AP or any other photographs in the AmeriKan press show Muslims in either black (veil, full abaya, etc) or white (traditional tunics for men, of course), but rarely do you see the color and splendor?

Just an observation from a long-time shit -eater (that's me, reader).

:-(


And given the way the agenda-promoting press covers certains protests and not others, will you pass me the salt shaker, readers....


"Pakistanis launch protest march; Demand judges be reinstated" by Candace Rondeaux, Washington Post | June 14, 2008

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Tens of thousands of people marched on Pakistan's capital yesterday to demand the reinstatement of about 60 judges ousted by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf last year.

Lawyers, merchants, textile workers, teachers, and homemakers traveled from every corner of the country to Islamabad to register their discontent with Musharraf's nearly nine-year-old military administration.

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif unleashed a blistering attack on Musharraf, demanding he be put on trial and "held accountable" for his 8 1/2 years in power.

Dubbed the "Long March" by its organizers, the four-day nationwide protest kicked off in the southern urban hub of Karachi on Tuesday and gathered strength as it hit the central city of Lahore late Thursday. It burgeoned to about 20,000 people as it pushed toward the capital, police estimated....a protest movement that has drawn increasing support from almost every quarter of Pakistan."

A LOW-BALL ESTIMATE no doubt!!

A FOUR-DAY MARCH from EVERY CORNER of Pakistan?!

Yeah, the AmeriKan MSM has gotta report that -- even if they minimize it.

Too big and too many implications for THEIR AGENDA there!!!!

Oh, expect the car bombs and "suiciders" to rise in the next few days.

CUI BONO, Musharaff?
