16:37 Thugs attacked the Popular Aliance stage as Ibrahim El-Eissawy, one of the party's leaders, was speaking. The attack was thwarted by Maspero Revolutionaries, a group formed to defend the rights of Copts in the wake of recent sectarian attacks in Egypt. The assailants were removed from the square

So far so peaceful - but it's sundown now and that's when stuff normally kicks off in protests across the world! we shall see!

Last night at 1am Mirghany Street had a mass gathering... then the police blockades kicked in within hours of us learning about the new curfew and it dispersed.
Today, over my way, nothing. We have been out and about all day and so far all is well here.
Our driver told us that some youths simply just want to make trouble but they are a minority and will not even have an impact.
Just as a note though, westerners were being stopped and asked to show passports so try to carry yours if you want to avoid any problems.
