Cairo's Mohamed Mahmoud Street: A Battlefield of Resilience
Cairo's Mohamed Mahmoud street, adjacent to Tahrir Square, has become a battleground. For five days, protesters and police have clashed, with tear gas and Molotov cocktails exchanged. The once bustling commercial hub now serves as a shelter for protesters, who are facing harsh conditions.
Protesters are resting along Mohamed Mahmoud street, near the American University in Cairo (AUC) main campus. They've formed a human shield to block the street, allowing only ambulances and medics to pass. However, the street has also become a public latrine due to the lack of alternative facilities.
Clashes have caused damage. A tear gas canister set fire to a balcony in front of the AUC library, but a protester quickly extinguished it. Salah, a 25-year-old civil engineer, reported that hot flying canisters caused fires and damage. Street children are collecting empty canisters, attempting to enter the AUC campus.
Mohamed Mahmoud street has transformed into a battlefield, with protesters determined to maintain their ground. Despite harsh conditions and clashes, they continue to protect each other and the street, showing resilience in their ongoing uprising.
