PERSONAL ACCOUNT FROM A DOCTOR IN TAHREER SQUARE:
“Tired of the six nights I spent in Tahrir, all the gas bombs that was thrown at me, the fear of being shot by police thugs, the anxiety that is about to kill me, & believes all could've sent me home. If it weren't for the blood of the finest youth of Egypt that covered my hands last Friday, those who died in front of my eyes while I stood helpless bandaging their live bullet wounds with kleenex and plastic bags' shreds.”
