According to Egyptian state television, the pro-democracy demonstrators occupying Tahrir Square in Cairo have been attacked by Egyptians armed with knives and machetes. The television images show stones and hundreds of protesters chased the square, scene of massive protests that ousted Hosni Mubarak in power.
The clashes, which we do not know the origin, took place in a climate of growing tension, including clashes between Muslims and Coptic Christians in the capital, which left 10 dead and 110 wounded. The transition period is difficult in Egypt, where the police are disorganized. The Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, the largest opposition party in Egypt, accused of holding up the former Egyptian president Mubarak of inciting violence, a view widely shared in the population.
