Der er endvidere de sidste meldinger om politiets rolle, hvorom det længe var klart, at det tvivlede på, om det stadigvæk skulle støtte styret, og af de sidste meldinger fremgår det, at det ser ud til, at det har valgt demonstranternes side. Det samme kan ifølge de sidste meldinger ske med hæren.
There are also the latest reports on the role of the police, which, as has been apparent for some time, have been in doubt as to whether to continue to support the regime, and which, as it appears from the first reports now coming in, have opted to side with the demonstrators; according to the latest reports, the same could happen with the army.
