Protests in Tahrir Square

What was dubbed as a million man protest is taking place in Tahrir Square in Cairo Egypt now.  Watch live at Al Jazeera English's live feed.  Originally the idea was to protest at the presidential palace, for various reasons they have stayed in the square and will only go to the presidential palace 'if they have to.'  Crowds are chanting for Mubarak to leave.  The army is there checking people for weapons on their way.  The army has announced a neutrality stance in the situation.

People have been protesting now for nearly a week, and are taking care of each other along with their museums.  Where as the military forces are said to be guarding police stations, and oil transportation locations.  Food has been running low, but spirit is high.  People have been sharing food and water inside the square.  There are road blocks preventing from traffic from entering Tahrir Square.

Yesterday 6 Al Jazeera news reporters were arrested and then released the next day.  Twitter constantly reports about laptops, cameras, and other electronic devices being confiscated.  The Al Jazeera had been shut down in Cario after the information minister cancelled the accreditation to Al Jazeera's staff.  That has not stopped Al Jazeera from reporting from or about the protests in Tahrir Square.
