These are biggest clashes in the city in a while

Heard some very large explosions - not sure what. Didn’t sound like gunfire

Can smell tear gas, even from our live position, canisters being lobbed qasr el Nile bridge

Exchanges of intense heavy gunfire now in Cairo

There’s gunfire in other parts of the city too, can hear it now

Small plume of smoke rising from outside four seasons hotel on other side of the city

Here we go again. Another epic foreign policy fail for Obama. Has his administration been doing anything over there other than inciting and arming these Islamists? Soon as I wake up I am going to check what they have ‘officially’ been doing in regards to Egypt the last month.

Thanks for the Ping.

No it’s not. They know that a military ruled dictatorship will protect the Christian minorities and the MB will attack them.
