Cairo riots: eye witness account

I dont usually use this blog for other people’s words. But I have just had an email from the son in Cairo, who has seen and been in today’s demonstrations. This is some of what he has to say:
« What follows is my personal and not very well informed view on the situation. The only benefit I have is that I have just returned from the protests so can at least offer my view as a Briton living in Cairo. I can never be quite part of the protest. People tell themselves that this is because it is the Egyptians’ struggle but also, in my case, it is due in small part to fear. Getting arrested in Egypt is something almost all foreigners are afraid of and being deported would do nothing good for my Arabic studies.
I woke up late and was not particularly interested in the protests since all Egyptians I had spoken to said that nothing would ever happen. However, one of my friends said that they were going to Cairo University because Facebook had told them that was the place to go. We went on the Metro but found that there was very little going on. Apparently, the venue had been changed to surprise the police and we had not been informed. Someone said that the Egyptian government had shut down Facebook, which was not in fact the case to my knowledge, but there are rumours that they will and Twitter is out for the foreseeable future (sorry mum!).
Nothing happened at Cairo University and the French seemed disappointed there would be no ’68 style occupations. We decided to go back to Tahrir square (Cairo’s main hub), where we live and saw hordes of security in the morning but only an eerie silence in place of any protest. On the way back in a taxi we found our protest. The police had blocked them from crossing the bridge from one side of the river on to an island in the river that would eventually lead to Tahrir Square.
It also blocked our return home so we were in the protest whether we liked it or not. We got to the next bridge to find more riot police. The number of police at the government’s disposal is simply astonishing; there are talks of similar protests all over Cairo and the rest of Egypt. Without boring you with the details we made it back to Tahrir Square to see protest in full force. We went to get shisha and consider our next move. At the café we were later met by a friend who had just been tear-gassed and said that things were hotting up. Read more…

CAIRO (BNO NEWS) — Thousands of demonstrators on Tuesday clashed with police in anti-government protests across Egypt, Ahram online reported. Dozens of people have been injured.
Security forces deployed prison trucks, riot police and police dogs since early in the morning to control protesters who announced plants to congregate in four pre-arranged locations in Cairo.
Just before noon, reports of protests began to spread. A number of protesters were heard chanting « Bread and Freedom » at the district of Dar El Salam, while 300 protesters demonstrated in the border town of Rafah in the Sinai.
Back in the suburbs of Cairo, youth marched around, chanting « Our blood, Our souls. We’ll sacrifice for you, our country. »
A couple of hours later a demonstration broke out in the city’s Asafra district with protesters carrying Egyptian flags and chanting against the emergency law, which allows the Egyptian government to arrest people without charge and limits freedom of expression and assembly.
Sporadic riots also broke out in other areas across the country. An Ahram Online reporter witnessed a march of at least 2,000 protesters heading towards Tahrir square in downtown Cairo. Read more…
