CAIRO - Not even the night stop the battle of Cairo. In fact, complicit in the dark, even the wicked. Skirmishes between police and demonstrators in the morning to the evening turned into guerrilla warfare in the streets and now he shoots fire occurs. In the center, near the big hotels, as in the outskirts of this vast city.
From truncheons to rifles, from stones to Molotov, the step was short. Only the dead in the capital would be at least a fortnight, the injured over one thousand, five hundred of those arrested. These numbers are obviously not official confirmation. Internet is out, as well as mobile phones and fixed close to collapse.
But not even the regime fails to prevent the news somehow filter. Mubarak proclaimed a curfew, the army ranks and announced a speech on TV, which comes in the night. The rais today announces a reshuffle of the government, says he has "listened to the grievances and suffering of the people", guarantees that if the events occurred was due to "freedom of expression guaranteed" his country, but warns that "c 'is a fine line between freedom and chaos, and chaos - support - we see a conspiracy by outside powers.
His "first duty" is "ensure the safety of the country." Do not allow the chaos to spread. "You do not achieve their objectives through violence but through dialogue," urges the Rais. The initial reactions of the square, however, would not the reason. In the afternoon chasing rumors of businessmen and politicians who leave the country aboard a private aircraft.
The headquarters of the Presidential party was assaulted and set on fire. While burning a symbol of power that will not die, the crowd on fire trucks, parked cars, tires, police stations, before marching to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Member of the TV, two other hated symbols of power.
Then heads toward compact Tahrir Square, where it all began and where there are other palaces of power. That square was off-limits to all this Friday in fear. While even around the big hotels, which are still thousands of tourists, the area becomes unbearable and the sound of shots is not that far away, Mubarak was forced to deploy troops.
They then appeared for the first time since the crisis began, including tanks. But the military did not intervene. Indeed, in many cases, fraternize with the demonstrators who shake their hands clapping and shouting: "The army is with us." Mubarak Ben Ali as? Hard to believe, despite already cartoonists portray him with the suitcase full of dollars and a plane runs out of breath to Saudi Arabia.
He did not flee, says those who know him well. Sell life dearly. Resist. Shoot, if needed. Provided always that the army is prepared to follow through. And Egypt is not Tunisia, the Americans still do not seem willing to let go to sponsor a new course that could be a leap in the dark. Everything, nothing will be the first in Egypt.
Especially after last Friday of blood and violence. With hundreds of thousands of people in the streets to shout their anger. "No to Mubarak", "No to the government," "You are enemies of God." In Cairo, Alexandria, Suez, the Sinai. Everywhere, from north to south in this country. They ask for bread, work, justice and dignity.
They found the courage to cry in public for years but have been afraid to even whisper it to close friends. And today's the day that they are all there, despite a deployment of forces ever seen. With the main arteries of the heart of the capital completely armored, with insurmountable barriers of anti-riot shields lined up with their rows, a distance of one hundred meters from each other.
A human wall impenetrable that someone tries unsuccessfully to break through. Tear gas, rubber bullets, real bullets, batons, water cannons. While the police seem willing to stop everything. But those, young and old and even children, are growing by the hour like a river in flood. Unable to meet in one big parade, groped are forced to sortie from the side streets leading to Ramses Street, along the road that ends in Tahrir Square, the ultimate goal of the protesters, where there is the presidency of the Council.
That's where the battle rages more and more people referred to by gunfire, smoke gas, having stopped the car in second, third, fourth row, followed by the ramparts of the bridge on October 6, shouting invectives against themselves regime. Something absolutely unprecedented in thirty years of the reign of Hosni Mubarak.
Predictably, the long "Angry" starts in Cairo shortly after the end of prayer. Around 13, the first salvo of tear gas makes it impossible to breathe the air and disperse the faithful just emerged from the great Al Fatah mosque, which overlooks on Ramses Street. It is only the beginning of an uproar that lasted throughout the day on many fronts in the capital.
In the suburb of Dokki, just opposite the Sheraton Hotel, one of the toughest battles and bloody. Between protesters and police. Terrified tourists, burned cars, violent charges and general stampede. Exactly how close to the Al Azhar mosque-university, the greater Sunni theological center of the capital.
A Mohamed El Baradei, the Nobel Prize for Peace, a leading opponents of the regime, autocandidatosi to lead the transition, arrived in Cairo for four hours before the people of this great event, is in fact prevented from leaving the mosque in which went to pray. Original form of house arrest, studied, as it were, on a personal basis.
To prevent that is to head the political uprising. The man has what it takes to succeed to the presidency even if the scheme in recent months repeatedly tried to discredit him, portraying him as detached from reality in Egypt, as an agent of foreign powers, even posting pictures of Laila, the daughter in costume Bathroom and his marriage that serves wine.
Pass it short, as a foreign body to shock the conservative Muslim society. That the regime feared that this event has already announced as the most impressive and tense in recent years, it became clear already at nine in the morning, when the Internet suddenly gave no sign of life. A couple of hours later collapsed even mobile phones, local and international.
Prevent any form of communication is the order from the top. And so all of Egypt was completely isolated. The news of the night, the latest movies available through YouTube had shown beyond a reasonable doubt that the situation was falling. Images from Suez, Alexandria, Ismailia and the Sinai told of real battle, of deaths, injuries, fires, looting.
And as in a desperate attempt to limit the damage, the regime proceeded to mass arrests. Especially in the ranks of the Muslim Brotherhood, including two spokesmen, Essam El Erian and Mohammed Mursi. After what seemed to pause at the end of a field day, the situation ended up out of control.
The protesters were in some way, perhaps because the fatigue of the police, to regroup. And in the end they prevailed. Could reach the palace of the National Democratic Party of Saddam, the Foreign Ministry, the State TV and set fire to them. Someone tries to loot the Egyptian Museum but it is the same crowd to hold a cordon against predators.
Then chaos. Began a long night of fire, looting, private vendettas and settling scores. The next move is up to Mubarak. Promises, Ben Ali docet not be sufficient.
