#Jan25 جمعة الغضب ٢٨ يناير: الثوار يدخلون ميدان التحرير
A video I took with my mobile phone on the Friday of Anger, as we enter Tahrir following hours of running battles with the police in the main squares from Nasr City to Downtown Cairo. Though a number of Central Security Forces soldiers fell in our hands, we still refused to abuse them, and let them go, saying our quarrel was with their officers. Those officers nowadays are trying shamelessly to polish up their image by staging “protests” in Tahrir Square and elsewhere trying to absolve themselves from the martyrs’ blood.
#Jan25 جمعة الغضب ٢٨ يناير: حرق جيب شرطة عسكرية
Following the retreat of the police forces, on the Firday of Anger, to the parliament area, five military police jeeps showed up in Tahrir. Protesters stopped the convoy, searched them, and as soon as they found weapons and live ammunition, the revolutionaries chased the jeeps away, and took control of one, with which they tried to drive into the police troops, before they set it on fire.
