[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 141288, member: 35"] A string of draconian measures enforced by the Egyptian authorities have failed to quell huge anti-government protests that have resonated across the country after weekly Muslim prayers on Friday. In Cairo, the approaches leading to the iconic Tahrir (liberation) square, the focal point after nightfall of Tuesday’s clashes, emerged as a major battleground on Friday. At least 20,000 protesters packed the Qasr al-Nil Bridge that connects Giza, famous for its Pyramids to Tahrir Square, located not far from the Egyptian parliament building in downtown Cairo. The website of the Egyptian daily, Al Masry Al Youm reported police unleashing on this bridge, a tear gas barrage on demonstrators. In running battles, protesters defiantly hurled back the still- smoking canisters of teargas, or threw them into the waters of the Nile. Linking the Egyptian uprising to the Tunisian revolution, agitators on this bridge cheered and sang the Tunisian national anthem, evoking memories of the dramatic downfall earlier this month of the country’s dictator Zine al-Abidine Ben. Heavy smoke, apparently from a police vehicle that had caught fire was also visible from an area behind the Egyptian museum, located at Tahrir square, which had been cordoned off. Thousands of activists clashed with security forces outside of Al-Azhar Mosque, another city icon, in Islamic Cairo after Friday prayers, AFP reported. Reports of protests and heavy violence are pouring in from the port city of Alexandria, Suez, the Nile delta and the Sinai desert, illustrating the countrywide sweep of Friday’s irrepressible protests. The spate of demonstrations witnessed on Friday have come in the face of an intense security crackdown. By sundown the Egyptian army was being deployed in central Cairo. Local media is reporting that army was heading towards the Egyptian state television headquarters. The foreign ministry and the ruling National Democratic Party headquarters are also located in this direction. Earlier, Mohammad ElBaradei, a future reformist presidential hopeful who returned to Cairo on Thursday night was put under house arrest following afternoon prayers at the Giza mosque. Prior to his detention, he said that the end of the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was “imminent.” "They (the regime) are completely desperate. I hope the pictures will be everywhere to show how barbaric, petrified, and dictatorial the regime is. Now it's the people versus the thugs. " Ibrahim Eissa, former Editor in Chief of the Arabic daily Al-Dostour newspaper, who was at Mr. ElBaradei side said that the Egyptian regime "seems terrified that these protests are turning into a full fledged revolution." Over the last 24 hours, the Egyptian security establishment has been targeting the three main sources of the Egyptian revolt—Mr. ElBaradei and his party, the National Association for Change, the tech-savvy young Egyptian people who have depended extensively on the internet as a mobilisation tool, and the Muslim Brotherhood, the largest opposition group, which is officially banned but is tolerated. In the early hours on Friday, the Egyptian government cracked down on internet providers, snapping all international access on the worldwide web, going far beyond impairing Facebook and Twitter, the two social media networks that have been used by the uprising’s young to organise protests. Renesys, an American company that analyses internet data traffic said that Friday’s shut down was the biggest ever since the internet’s inception. The authorities also went after the Muslim Brotherhood, by arresting on Friday morning 20 leaders from the group. The Muslim Brotherhood website said that most of its top leadership was now behind bars. [url]http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/article1133675.ece?homepage=true[/url] [/QUOTE]
