More from cairo
I spoke to another friend finally, her mobile network is finally working, she tells me local messages are not working, hard to communicate. She told me what she witnessed and taped in Cairo- Doqqi, Algala street, in front of the Yakht club.
"Friday was horrible, Police were very aggressive and brutal, they attacked ppl, live ammunition and tear gas. Protesters were very brave they attacked back, Police were not ordered to withdraw, but escaped after some of them were beaten, protesters gave them aid, they left everything behind them, officers were the first ones to escape. They fled to the neighboring buildings, some of them came to our building in Doqqi, they knocked on our door and asked to use the phone to call their families and make sure they are ok. We broke the news of the curfew to them. Protesters broke the curfew and remained in the streets, when protesters set fire in one of the police cars, police escaped fearing the explosion, Al Gala bridge was then for people to march not fearing the explosion that might take place. Firemen reached and put out the fire, one of the firemen was suffocating, aided by the protesters who transfered him to the ambulance.
Tear gas were numberless and randomly fired on people, a lot of people in the streets and houses were suffocated, I saw two of them burning two houses, one of the families could put out the fire while the second house was completely burnt.
They accused protesters of stealing and roping, LIERS, I've seen them and taped when they broke into stored, took water, tissues, food and other stuff.
I have it all tapped and recorded."
That was on Friday, the anger and sadness i hear in their voices is incredible.
Updates from Egypt: Cairo, 6th of October city and Alexandria
I have spoken to friends in Cairo, 6th of October city and Alexandria, another one was in Tahrir square in Cairo. They all said the same, PPl are in the street either demonstrating or protecting houses and families, army is at least protecting demonstrators in Tahrir square in Cairo, Last night was the worst since #Jan25, People marched yesterday from Naser city to Ramsees square they were attacked by casualties, suffocated by tear gas, beaten, a lot of shooting from ambiguous places\ ppl. Houses are running out of food, ppl can't withdrew money to buy food and essentials, ATm machines were broken and roped, Banks are closed, It is the end of the month and ppl need money. Some shops dared to open and give ppl food. systematic police and ministry of interior interfere between ppl shooting on protesters, a lot of attacking and looting. national committees formed by the civilians of Egypt are doing great job, protecting ppl, arresting thugs and turning them to Police.
ppl are dividing themselves: with families staying home, go to squares and protests and in committees.
Wael Abbas tells me that what ppl are now aware that this is systematic and it aims to scare people and kill the revolution.
A message from my friend in Alexandria "It is not secure at all, we are in the streets, protecting our families and properties, we have no weapons but knives, sticks and stones. a call to anyone in this country to protect us from thugs and thieves, food and money doesn't matter today but security"
