(transplanted on the Figaro that apm to 15 hours, interesting no? And why the U.S. wants to go bourgeoisie hasty in sponsoring democracy in Tunisia as a conciliatory ...)
"A small autonomous challenge the government Egyptian from the center of Cairo. Surrounded by army tanks, besieged by protesters-cons, anti-Mubarak protesters have settled on the Place de la Liberation in an atmosphere of entrenched camp, which sometimes turns to the carnival.

In front of these walls, piles of garbage were aligned across the floor and doused with petrol ready to be ignited. Several lines of defense were built. Behind these walls, young men stand guard, ready to repel ¬ Velles new attacks, with piles of stones as ammunition reserves. At the slightest alarm, typing furiously on the metal barriers and signs to drum up reinforcements. Women have crafted curious cardboard helmets and medians of the square have been converted into careers where you extracted from the rubble to be used as projectiles.
An emergency medical service was established. A small mosque stuck in an alley that leads up to the main hospital serves. Advanced Medical antennas are installed near the lines of defense, a few chairs and sheets on which lengthens the injured. Doctors and nurses are volunteers, often students in medicine, along with activists.
In the small makeshift aid station on the side of the Egyptian Museum, where were the most violent clashes, Dr. Sheriff Omar eyes identified, but the convent young nurses look. Her blouse was stained with blood and tincture of iodine, after he has treated hundreds of wounded during the fighting the previous day, which continued late into the night. "We are in this position peacefully past six days. And suddenly we were attacked by hooligans purporting to show stability, "said the young doctor. "If Mubarak does not go away, there will be new clashes. The state media describe us as dangerous rioters threatening the stability of the country. While the rioters and troublemakers are the ones who attacked us with Molotov cocktails. Most are plainclothes officers who pose as demonstrators, "said Dr Omar.
Hunt plainclothes
Hunting plainclothes police infiltrated is general. Groups pass by driving them with agents provocateurs unmasked. They asked a travel agency instead. The day before, too many, they were grouped into one of the entrances to the subway station Sadat, transformed into makeshift detention center. A small exhibition was installed on the sidewalk, showing the identity cards of police officers, a Molotov cocktail, knife, hit-and cases depoing U.S. because of all calibres ¬ keys seized everywhere, with a sign indicating that the pen had been seized by the police.
Far from being discouraged protested ¬ silent, the attack on supporters of Mubarak seems to have rather increased their determination. "The last speech had convinced Mubarak, Mohammed said Hanna, a tiny lady with the face surrounded by a red scarf. I thought after all, you could wait six months before it goes away, after thirty years is not much. But yesterday, sending the Egyptians against other Egyptians, he has committed any terrible thing. What happened here on Wednesday made me go back to the Place de la Liberation, and I'll stay. "

On the median, people sleeping pell-mell on the floor, wrapped in blankets. A group of girls put up a tent called "Liberty Hall."

"They are great, the oldest are only 28 years old and I put myself in their ser ¬ vice! "says Dr Mahmoud Hamza, a wealthy industrialist ¬. "I participated in demonstrations in the years 1968, but it has nothing to do. Today we have a revolution, as you in France! "
Barbs are also present on the site. Long repressed the Muslim Brotherhood have fully grasped the opportunity presented itself and actively participate in the defense of the place of Liberation, without the overall direction of a movement without a head. "We're here until the departure of Mubarak," said Dr. Mohammed al-Beltagy, former MP and spokesperson of the Muslim Brotherhood. "We believe in democracy and the right of everyone to practice his religion. The regime has not yet realized that it was a revolution. "
