Strike, Egypt Workers Graffiti on Wall of Mohamed Mahmoud
This photo was taken on November 24, 2011 during the battle of Mohamed Mahmoud. You can see the young kids wearing medical masks to avoid the teargas.
The battle broke out 5 days earlier when Central Security Forces broke up Tahrir's sit-in of those who were injured during the 18-days uprising. Protesters and CSF kept clashing for more than 100 hours, where more 80 were killed, thousands injured, and hundreds lost their eyes. Security forces used tons of teargas canisters, rubber bullets and even live ammunition. It was a change-of-course battle, and one of the most significant battles in the Egyptian revolution history.
On November 25, 2011 hundreds of thousands marched to Tahrir to show their solidarity, demanding the downfall of the military junta that have been ruling Egypt since February 11, 2011 after Mubarak stepped down.
