Clashes between security forces and protesters erupted near Tahrir Square, as protesters destroyed a military-erected wall that blocked Qasr Al-Aini road. Tear-gas was fired, scores of both rioters and police were arrested, and Egypt’s media has furiously predicted the beginning of waves of massive protests and potential violence.
