Thus the Egyptians circumvented the crossing of the barrier of fear to Tahrir Square

Abdullah Hamed-Cairo

Protesters at Friday's demonstrations crossed the toughest phase in their bid to topple President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who seeks to stay through constitutional amendments until 2030, as Egyptians broke the barrier of fear and managed to reach Cairo's Tahrir Square.

Though the streets were called to the streets after the Super Cup match between Ahly and Zamalek ended in front of the houses without protests, thousands spontaneously went to Tahrir Square, a symbolic symbol of being the center of the revolution that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak in 2011.

The protesters circumvented the field by carrying the flags of Al-Ahly, who defeated Zamalek 3-2, even if they mediated the field chanted the slogan "Go Sissy" to be collapsed by huge police forces.

Initially, the number did not exceed five hundred demonstrators, and then the number increased until the police started using electro-sticks and batons to beat the demonstrators and arrest them and enter deportation vehicles.

Immediately after the newcomers felt what was happening in the field, they formed hotspots outside and on the border, and in nearby fields such as Abdel Moneim Riad.

Police kept the front of the demonstrators by closing shops and cafes close to the square, and police vehicles patrolled the back streets, some in civilian clothes, in search of any gatherings of demonstrators.

A large number of young people spread on the sidewalks waiting for others to join amid fears of oppression, disguised as shop fronts, witnesses said.

Contrary to rumors of leniency with protesters, the square was completely surrounded by central security vehicles and patrols.

As the security forces successfully dispersed the demonstrators, the crowd dispersed and then gathered at another focus of the demonstration.

Shots were heard in central Cairo's El Galaa Street, witnesses said to disperse a large rally, and a large rally of protesters was seen on top of the October bridge, chanting Sisi's departure.

Field fortification
Fearful of the demonstrators returning to the square, the troops were moving nervously and trying to disperse all gatherings.

In the streets around the square, the central security armored vehicles were roaring, and some armored vehicles fired tear gas towards the side streets.

Behind the hit-and-run in Abdel-Moneim Riad Square was the aftermath of striking empty bottles of water and stones, which protesters apparently threw at the security forces.

On the other hand, there were funny shots revealing the sympathy of some security men with the demonstrators. .

In Shubra al-Khaimah, where dozens of demonstrations took place, dozens were arrested while security forces closed the side streets. Several areas in Cairo also witnessed the arrest of youths with beatings with hands and feet.

Tahrir Square remained open to the movement of cars and pedestrians.

Internet speeds have slowed in downtown Cairo as protesters sought a sit-in on Mohamed Mahmoud Street, but police dispersed them with tear gas.

In front of the Bar Association, another demonstration took place.

Immediately after the outbreak of the demonstrations, journalist close to the regime Mustafa Bakri wrote on Twitter, it is certain that "our great people" is facing many problems and "groaning" of economic conditions and conditions, adding that the elite is seeking to achieve political reform, condemning the so-called traitors who want chaos and demolition of homelands .
