The situation has calmed slightly. What happened a short while ago was the both sides converged. The supporters of Mohamed Morsi were waving Egyptian flags, coming down the 6th of October Bridge here. Then all of a sudden a small group of anti-Morsi supporters ran towards them and suddenly threw stones, bricks and had makeshift barricades with them. They were prepared for something to come. And then the number spiralled and basically there were just running pitched battles here, people picking up whatever they could find-- bricks, bottles, broken bits of paving slabs and bits of wooden sticks as well. This went on for half an hour. It didn’t quite get towards Tahrir Square and a short while ago, the army and five tanks just came through October 6th Bridge split the both sides of supporters and it got (a) huge rapturous cheers here by all of the supporters of the army against former President Mohamed Morsi.
