Protests continued, slightly abated today. The military continues to fraternize with protesters. A couple new developments:

1. Omar Suleiman, former spy chief, was appointed vice president by Mubarak. This is the first vice president in Mubarak’s 30-years rule.

2. Aviation Minister Ahmed Shafiq was appointed prime minister.

3. The protests began to resemble chaos at times. There have been multiple reports of looting — and some claims (unconfirmed) that looters were actually Mubarak agents intending to undermine the protests. Two mummies were destroyed at the national museum. The police left the streets, and so the protesters have spontaneously organized to maintain order and stop looters.

4. Internet still has not been restored in Egypt.
