In Brief :This Video shows a 3rd party (Hiding between protestors or on the roof tops of the surrounding buildings around tahrir)who were responsible for inducing violence between the protestors & the police.Even after the army intervened & managed to set up a buffer zone (between the protestors & the police ), this organized group of thugs kept on attacking, even after 7 failing attempts in reaching a mutual peace agreement between both ends.(They successfully achieved in promote violence every time). You can even see several other protestors who are trying to convince them to stop throwing stones & Molotov cocktails.The other sad thing is that, along side these thugs are kids/teenagers who are taking part in this assault. Most of these thugs have been also paid upfront to fulfill other people's interests.

Protests against political repression and unemployment triggered Egypt’s social uprising, which toppled President Hosni Mubarak after 30 years in office.

He sometimes sounded like a miniature rebel, distilling the nation's rage in his narrow body.

"My father died a month ago, so I've been living in the square," he said. "He had heart problems. He sold cups and glasses in the street. I used to help him. He's gone now. My mother died too. A few years ago. I don't know what of. She just died."

"Everyone should have the right to call for his rights," he said. "Even me."

The War You Don't See by John Pilger

The War You Don't See
Focusing on Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel, australian journalist John Pilger explains how the practice of “embedding” journalists within the military not only controls what they’re allowed to see but also how they’re allowed to report it. This explains among other things why Basra was reported to have fallen 17 times before it actually did and how the toppling of Saddam Hussein’s statue was a made-for-TV moment (only btw: remember the reports on WTC7 crashing one hour before the event really happened?)
