Ok, So two days ago the Convoy members who remained in Cairo headed off to Al Arish to get something started, in which we will meet up with them when/if we get our vehicles out. They end up getting caught up at one of the checkpoints, and threatened with being arrested they make a scene by exiting the bus and chanting slogans for the Palestinian cause. Media shows up and everything, but the Government forces stand tight and do not allow the freedom fighters to enter and turn them back, so they end up heading back to Cairo.
Today is Monday the 13th, and we just received word that reason they were not able to enter was due to them not filling out the Affidavit papers which states that the government is not responsible if we are hurt/killed. So, with this in mind, the convoy here in Alexanderia will also have to head to the American Embassy in Cairo to fill out the paperwork. So now we are with two options: 1. If the cars are released, we will take them and drive to Ismailia, drop off the cars and be bussed back to Cairo to fill the paperwork, then back again to Ismailia to pick up the cars and go to Al Arish from there. 2. We don't get the cars out, so we will be bussed to Cairo and fill out the paperwork and who knows if we end up staying there with the other convoy or not.
