You stated, and i insist on this naming, the egyptians' reactions. Why didn't you discuss the algerians' actions. First: I was very insulted with the video of the algerians burning the egyptian flags. This happened before the 14 November match and it happened again in the Cairo stadium at 14 November. I was there that day in the stadium. Egyptians did burn the algerian flag(which it totally wrong) after the 18 Novmber match and after they heard about the things that happened in Sudan. Second: The events that happened infront of the algerian embassy only started at 19 November, after the sudan match. NO INJURIES AND NO DAMAGE TO ALGERIAN PROPERTY(that I heard of to be honest, maybe something minor happened but nothing big happened). Let's see wot happened in algeria for the companies Orascom telecom, Arab Contractors, and egypt air. These events happened 15 November. Finally, U only commented on the video of the young yielding knives, wot about the other videos. wot about the calling of known actors, singers, and parliment speakers asking for help and to be saved. Y would these people fabricate this story. I totally believe that egyptian fans were terrorized. I did see videos that were very clear that they were in sudan and the attackers were algerians. 21 people were proven injured after the sudan match. I am not saying that both sides aren't mistaken. But what im saying that egyptians action are only reactions. You have stated only one side of the story. Ur power to write articles should be a responsibility to be fair and balanced regardless of nationality. Let’s agree that for every action there is a reaction.

Please try to apologize politely instead of searching for fake evidence, if you still hanging the arabic unity. if you are sad about burning the arabic algerian flag infront of the algerian embassy in egypt, therefore the egyptions have to rise against those algerian boys and girls who stepped with the hired cars tires on the biggest whole sister flag.
