À quelques centaines de mètres de là, François Hien suit également le soulèvement et raconte son point de vue sur l'évolution de la situation. Mardi 8 février Hier matin, je rends visite à mes amis arrêtés la veille et relâchés au bout de quatre heures d’une invraisemblable violence. En frappant à la porte de chez eux, j’essaie de charger mon geste de toute la tendresse du monde pour ne pas qu’un instant ils puissent imaginer que je leur sois hostile.
Plus tard, l’un d’eux dormant encore, je dois aller récupérer dans sa chambre un chargeur de portable. J’y pénètre doucement et je déambule à reculon dans la pièce, restant face à lui pour que s’il s’éveille il voit mon visage paisible et bienveillant. Je m’en voudrais terriblement que ma présence dans sa chambre réveille en lui, même un court instant, les sensations de la veille. Je parviens à peine à me figurer qu’ils ont vécu une chose pareille. J’ai cessé de comprendre ce qui se passe ici.

Egypt unrest: Hosni Mubarak must stay - US envoy. 5 February 2011Last updated at 23:19 Frank Wisner: 'This is an ideal moment for Mubarak to show the way forward' The US state department has distanced itself from comments by a US special envoy, to the effect that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak should stay in office during a power transition.
Spokesman Philip Crowley said Frank Wisner's views were his own, and not co-ordinated with the US government. Hundreds of protesters are refusing to leave Cairo's Tahrir Square. Mr Mubarak has vowed to stand down in September. The entire politburo including his son Gamal lost their jobs. Hossam Badrawi, a reformer and top physician, took the post of head of the policies committee, held by Gamal Mubarak, and that of secretary-general.

An eyewitness said scuffles broke out after an army general asked demonstrators to take down their makeshift barricades of corrugated steel and debris, which were built up during 48 hours of bloody fighting with regime supporters next to Cairo's landmark Egyptian Museum.
Haviv said that initial tension was defused after Gen. Egypt military mulls its options - Middle East. Egypt’s army is likely to decide the fate of the pro-democracy protesters in Tahrir Square, and the short-term future of the country’s government – yet few Egyptians know what to expect, because the army’s objectives and orders remain unclear and sometimes contradictory. Soldiers seem to have been tasked with crowd control near Tahrir Square, but the army has also stressed in several public statements that it will not fire on civilians.
Thus, while the army deployed troops around Tahrir on Thursday – forming a protective ring around pro-democracy protesters – it was quickly forced to withdraw once heavy fighting picked up. The next day, the defence minister – Mohammad Hussain Tantawi – paid a personal visit to Tahrir Square, meeting with soldiers stationed around it. The army said on Friday that it would protect foreign journalists covering the rallies in Tahrir Square, even though military intelligence arrested dozens of reporters on Thursday.
