Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

5 Killed in Multiple Egypt Bombings Ahead of Uprising Anniversary

HeadlineJan 24, 2014

At least five people have been killed and more than 70 wounded in three separate bombings in the Egyptian capital of Cairo. The first attack hit the main headquarters of the Egyptian police, shattering windows and leaving a gaping hole in the street. No one has claimed responsibility, but a Sinai-based militant group that carried out previous attacks on police released a statement threatening further violence. The military government has used previous incidents to increase its crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood. In a statement, the Brotherhood said it “strongly condemns the cowardly bombings.” The attacks come one day before the third anniversary of the launch of the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak.
