Westerners take to Egypt’s streets for protests | Jordan Times: "The few foreigners are islands in a sea of Egyptian demonstrators. Some of them carry their own protest signs in their native languages, including one expletive-ridden French poster calling for Mubarak's departure.

'We are angry against our own governments, that is why we are here,' said Olivia, a Swiss and German national.

'There are so many governments out there, the international community, they are all talking about promoting democracy and human rights and they have not done anything,' she said.

'This is not just about being a foreigner, or being Egyptian, this is about the rights of the people and we have to support Egyptians,' added Olivia, a blue-eyed blonde."
