Egypt protests: interview with protest initiator Wael Ghonim

This post has been included on my new blog: http://welovearabic.wordpress.com
Google executive Wael Ghonim was the creator of the Facebook group which originally sparked the anti-government protests in Egypt. He was arrested and spent 12 days in custody. This is his first interview after his release on 7 February 2011. The video, in which Ghonim speaks in Egyptian colloquial, has English subtitles and was posted on the website Alive in Egypt, a volunteer-run project aiming to translate videos of events in Egypt and make them available to the international audience.
