Rallies Continue in Cairo; GFM Rejects Egyptian Deal

Cairowed

March organisers had called the Egyptian government's concession a
"partial victory" but said the offer was not sufficient.
It appears that the Gaza Freedom Marchers have rejected the Egyptian
deal to allow 100 of its number to travel to Gaza. Here is a report
from Al-Jazeera about ongoing rallies in Cairo on Wednesday:

";However, getting 100 or 1,300 into Gaza does not end the siege by
itself. This is not about getting some or even all into Gaza, its
building global support and pressure to end the siege of Gaza,' said
Ali Abunimah, co-founder of the Electronic Intifada.

Roqayah Chamseddine, a US student attending the march, told Al
Jazeera: 'Our mission is not to be divided and sending only 100 of
over 1,300 would be doing just that.

'For anyone to claim that Egypt was doing us a favour by offering to
allow 100 GFM members to go is asinine and baseless.

'Those borders must be opened and as long as Egypt continues to
seemingly aid Israel in subjugating the people of Palestine we will
also continue to resist an protest.'"
