Tonight in Cairo, the Parliament is Surrounded

There have been two deaths of protestors in Suez; one policeman has died in Cairo, hit by a rock. The protestors in Tahrir Square have been tear-gassed, and Twitter has been blocked within the borders of Egypt. But this morning, as the sun burned a smoky haze off the face of this city, the streets were open and clear as I rode downtown at 8 a.m. There had been tweets that protests would be staged in Tahrir Square and in the downtown neighborhood of Mohandeseen. These tweets were received by Egyptian authorities monitoring the hashtag #jan25, and they deployed a massive security presence to deter any demonstrations. Around the block, I exited my taxi and sat down at a nearby hotel for coffee, waiting as the hours passed.

The protesters include secularists, Islamists and Communists/ultra-left-wingers--a veritable who's who of the Egyptian opposition.
