Global Voices Author Amira al Hussaini has reported slow and intermittent Internet, but has been managing to update on the protests via her Twitter feed @justamira:
Thank u 4 ur support: I ask you to direct them to the people on the ground: I watched from the sidelines: A witness to this massacre #Feb14
