@mosaaberizing( Mosa'ab Elshamy ) Just one of many #Tahrir heroes who kept freedom alive -posts from through the night (start at bottom of post)

Mosa'ab Elshamy
Scenes very quiet in Tahrir now. Should get some sleep as long day awaits us. Thanks to everyone, you're amazing!

Mosa'ab Elshamy
The list wasn't complete. Still working on it...

They're paying respect to the martyrs by calling their names. Will be tweeting some of them now.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
The kids at October bridge are less than 40 now. They should head home soon before their mothers wake up.

@
@ Sharm El Sheikh now. He's too scared to even stay at the presidential palace in Cairo.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
For those asking of footage, sorry I couldn't take any & using phone from Tahrir. Will RT some links along the day.

تطورات الهتاف في ميدان التحرير. "الشعب يريد": إسقاط النظام -> إسقاط الرئيس -> محاكمة الرئيس -> إعدام السفاح
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Chants developed in Tahrir. "The people want to: take system down -> take president down -> put president on trial -> hang the criminal.

@
@ My doctor would murder me if he knew I'm in Tahrir. Will probably go home & rest for few hours. Sleep well!
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Some of the thugs we captured confessed the police promised them L.E 5000 (~ $1000) if they succeeded in taking over Tahrir square.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ That's not our message. We don't even violate those that we capture from them. Sad fact: they're our brothers.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ Being positive doesn't mean we've forgotten the martyrs. We need to keep spirits high and believe we're superior to them.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ The thugs they released on us this morning.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
أمك لسه بتأكلك - your mum still feeds you. Latest chant to the mini thugs.‎ ‎
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
I kid you not. A group of us are practicing baseball with the stones they're throwing. Bats and all. Fun revolution :)
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Some of those are mini-thugs. 14 year olds, maximum. Are these your kids, mama Suzanne?
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Sunrise in Cairo. Blood spilled in Tahrir more noticed now. All over the place.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Haha now we're taunting them back now. Chantingحرامية ‎- "thieves!".
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
.@ Their numbers aren't increasing and they're slowly losing will. They'll be gone in no time.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ No. Just laser. Told you, kids...
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ No need to worry. Everyone in Tahrir, away from the fights now, is safe. And there are no girls here.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
A group of them actually got bored of fighting and is just taunting us from the bridge. Kids...
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
We're hitting them from under the bridge now.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Only molotov & stones with them now, and they suck at both.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ I am. We're doing the last push here.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
We're fighting on the bridge now. They don't exceed 100. We need to hold on for 30 more minutes.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
I'm on the bridge now. We're awaiting them.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
A final wave with few armed thugs carrying machine guns taking place now. Some more martyrs.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Call for Fajr prayer echoing around Tahrir. We'll divide into different groups and keep alert while praying.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
On a lovely note, a young guy is walking in Tahrir square, inviting all of us to his wedding right after Mubarak falls :)
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ By us. One of them was a police officer.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ Trying to avoid sleep. I know I will pass out if I do. Hanet ya Sarah.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
More thugs arrested. People trying to protect and keep them safe while escorting but many are letting their frustration on them.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
We're very tired but everyone is staying up to see the daylight. Still in disbelief over the day's events.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ Those were during the thug attacks. After bridge was evacuated, tanks shot in the air.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
People are devastated for the martyrs. Praying for them and chanting against Mubarak. Very emotional scenes.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Back to Tahrir square. Ambulance (government cars!) carrying the wounded away.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
The martyr at Abd El Meneim Reyad was carried and passed in front of me about 15 minutes ago.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
I can't confirm who the army is targetting at the moment but it seemed like random shots in the air. We're safe. For now.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ Ex-security. Hired by Mubarak's system to attack us at Tahrir.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
The gunshots are by the tanks. Not aimed at us. Probably just to show they're around.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
We've captured a huge Mubarak banner which the thugs brought earlier. You can imagine what's happening to it now :)
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
I was on this bridge 12 hours ago while heading to Tahrir. It was *stacked* with thugs. Sounds like ages ago now.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
My God! Our friends are waving to us from the bridge!
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
THE BRIDGE IS OURS!
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ Internet was back today morning.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
October bridge is almost empty!
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Many retreating. Just a few of them left on the bridge now. Still throwing molotov.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ We've been in Tahrir for a week now. This is my fifth day.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
No one in the battle scene is even half as worried as you guys seem to be. We won't surrender, relax :)
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
At Abd El Meneim Reyad no shooting now. Only molotov which miss their targets (us).
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Sigh, tired thugs leaving, new ones coming.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Sorry for the confusion and disappointment about earlier tweet. I meant tired *thugs* are the ones coming via bridge.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
General state: thousands of thugs bombarding us with molotov & stones from October bridge. We're keeping our high lines and defending well.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
The bullets they're using are rubber, not live.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Where did they get tear gasses and ammunition from? Good question.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Mubarak thugs firing bullets at us now at Abd El Meneim Reyad square. Dozens injured.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ I heard :)
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Nothing much happening at the moment. Need to head back to the square for a short rest and to charge my phone.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ Hard to estimate 'cause people are too far apart (protecting 7 entrances). But not less than 30k.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
At least 80% of people here are bruised/bandaged. You'll pay for this, Mubafuck.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ The pro-Mubarak hired thugs.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ I will ya 3azeezty!
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Arrested a few of the thugs at Abd El Meneim Reyad sq. Receiving a proper beating now while being escorted to their mates.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
No thugs from Asr El Nil yet. Turned out it was an army car which people suspected.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
I'm hearing a wave just arrived from Asr El Nil. It seems they're launching a final, full-scale attack now.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Currently tweeting from behind a metal barrier directly separating us from Mubafuck thugs. Saved my head from hundreds of stones.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Okay no (official) police yet. The tear gas was with the thugs.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Tear gasses now used against us. Police time?

The huge fire which caught the tree is now off.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ Much better now. Thank you :)
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
More people joining us from Cairo. Couldn't stay till morning :)
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
@
@ The fire isn't getting any smaller but good for us in a way with smoke distracting the fuckers on the bridge. Thank you :)
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
We're about 10,000 at the musuem area now. People getting ready for new thug waves.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
A molotov thrown on us by thugs caught a tree and started a huge fire at Abd El Meneim Reyad square. They surely love Egypt more than us.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Friends, sorry for not replying to many of you individually, but I'm reading all your supportive tweets to the fighters here. Appreciated.
»
Mosa'ab Elshamy
Tonight could be the defining night of our revolution. If we hold on, millions will join us tomorrow and there'll be no stopping us.
