Tunisian Unrest Moves to Egypt
Guardian, UK posts, updating by the minute
Downtown Cairo is a war zone tonight – as reports come in of massive occupations by protesters in towns across Egypt, the centre of the capital is awash with running street battles. Along with hundreds of others I’ve just been teargassed outside the parliament building, where some youths were smashing up the pavement to obtain rocks to throw at police.
We’ve withdrawn back to the main square now were thousands more demonstrators are waiting and a huge billboard advertising the ruling NDP party has just been torn down. Security forces are continuing to use sound bombs and teargas to disperse the crowd, but so far to no avail.
