There are tens of thousands of people in Tahrir Square for the pro-military rally, AP reports:

Army chief General Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi’s portrait pervaded the crowds of tens of thousands in Cairo’s central Tahrir Square: the smiling general in sunglasses on posters proclaiming “the love of the people,” a combination photo of the general and a lion on lanyards hanging from people’s necks, a picture of his face photoshopped into a one-pound note of currency.

“The people, the source of all power, mandate the army and police to purge terrorism,” read a giant banner stretched across one entrance to Tahrir. Three tanks guarded another street leading into the square, and helicopters swooped overhead.

Security was heavy after Sisi vowed to protect the rallies from attacks by rivals. Tanks guarded one entrance to Tahrir and police were stationed at other parts. “The people give their mandate,” read signs touted by many in the crowd.

“The army are here to protect the people, they don’t lie,” said Ezzat Fahmi, a 38-year-old in the crowd. He said Sisi had to call Friday’s rallies “so the entire world can see that the Egyptian people don’t want the Brotherhood anymore”.

Links to this are now up on our blog, it is, as Mesta says, a quite unique resource. The press sees little of it, in the US or the socialist/nazi Europe.

I’m also archiving the threads.
