---- Anarchists have been present in Egypt before, during, and after the revolution, but 
until today, they have yet to organize a mass grouping under the banner of anarchism. The 
Ultras of Egypt?s football clubs have for years been associated with anarchist ideas and 
actions, and they are widely credited with having initiated the level militancy that 
brought down the Mubarak government in February of 2011.

Last night, anarchism left the graffitied walls, small conversations, and online forums of 
Egypt, and came to life in Cairo, declaring itself a new force in the ongoing social 
revolution sparked two years ago with multiple firebombings against Muslim Brotherhood 
offices. Later, the government shutdown the ?Black Blocairo? and ?Egyptian Black Bloc? 
Facebook pages, but they were soon re-launched.

?Wait for our next attacks as we respond to the closing of our official page?? they posted 
in a statement posted online this morning (translated below).

Today, the black bloc made its first mass-appearance in Tahrir Square, and, shortly after, 
firebombed the Shura Council (Egyptian Parliament), tore down a section of the 
protest-barrier walls leading from Tahrir Square, and, with others, engaged in fighting 
against security forces.

These statements and actions are in preparation for tomorrow?s second anniversary of the 
revolution, and for what some are calling ?a whole new level? or protest in Egypt.

Anarchism and the black bloc concept has grown in recent months across Egypt, Stemming 
from various anarchist grouping/circles that coalesced during the revolutionary period. A 
massive distrust among the youth of all political parties, a sharp critique of the role of 
religion within governance, and the inspiration of anarchist resistance around the world 
(largely symbolized by the late-2008 revolt in Greece) have helped it catalyze.

Below is the statement of Black Blocairo in regards to the removal of their websites, 
their firebombing attacks against government offices, and their calls for revolt:

?Yesterday and after we finished our event, we met some of the revolutionary movements and 
we decided to unite together in our next attacks, hence we did our first two attacks, as 
we told you yesterday:

1- Setting fire to Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) online office.

2- Setting fire in the Ikhwan office in Al-Manial street in Cairo.

And we announced our revolution since today in Al-Tahrir Square untill Egypt and it?s 
people get their rights back! Life, Freedom and social justice!

Black Blocairo, The Hooligans

Wait for our next attacks as we respond to the closing of our official page??
