Tahrir Square has become the symbol of the struggle by the Egyptian people against the dictatorship which has existed for decades. It has been occupied for several days by demonstrators who are demanding freedom and social justice.Following the repression which claimed several deaths, Hosni Mubarak's regime has now sent in plain-clothes secret police to counter-demonstrate in order to terrorize the rebellious masses and send them home.What is taking place in Egypt is not a direct confrontation between the pro- and anti-Mubarak camps. It is repression, drenched in the blood of the people who have risen up against the political and economic powers who oppress them, under the gaze of the army and Western governments.3 February 2011
