Egypt unrest: Tense stand-off in Cairo's Tahrir square
 

There is a tense stand-off in the Egyptian capital's main square, after fights broke out between supporters and opponents of beleaguered President Hosni Mubarak.

Thousands of the president's supporters had surged into Cairo's Tahrir Square, dismantling barricades set up by anti-Mubarak groups.

It followed a call by the army for protesters to return home after nine days of anti-government demonstrations led Mr Mubarak to pledge he would not stand for re-election in September.


Some **** is about to go down in Egypt right now

****s going down watching on sky news ...

much more interested in cyclone

This.

Don't be silly

The cyclone is far more serious

It's only a little gust of wind, they need to man up

and the Egyptians need to get a job and stop bleating

Journalist on SkyNews was just told to hide that the crowd are trying to kill all foreigners....

Mubarak has already said he will stand down in September, they should just accept the compromise I think

His men are Fighting the Demo peoples
but they have Weapoms


Hell of a Battle Royal.

and where are all the women in this country?

Have you not been wathing the news? they are all hiding in doorways fearing for their lives.... I just watched a guy get beaten to within an inch of his life by a mob....it's absolutely horrible whats goign on now.

Yes by the 7PM Ch4 News

Jon Snow who is live out there Ch4News
should have some Battles, more than the bog standard Bloated BBC.

Just saw the recap of the violence on Sky News, crazy stuff, the army dont seem to be doing much but I suppose they're in a bit of a difficult situation

Saw some footage of some man getting dragged of a camel before and getting battered by about 20 people.. don't know how he would have survived that

Hey - Why Would they.


The pro leader Gangs are part of the Elite.


Chucking Concrete
that will hurt.

Battle Royal.

I am sure Ch4 News
will give me a Update on that Gang

*throws stones*

Very true :laugh:

I was reading an article like that today, they quoted Lord Palmerston when he said "nations have no permanent friends or allies, only permanent interests", the US here is definitely a case of that, they dont really know who to support, seems to be switching everyday

His New Deputy (or Vice President) went on TV today
saying it takes many weeks to set it all up.

So those that want to sit on that square
will have to give up or sleep for weeks on end there.

As for Yanks it is not there affair.


Its about time news moved away from this
we do not need to view it 24/7.
Small reports will do fine.
