Update from Tahrir square as protesters gather
  • 11 years ago
Egyptians are marking the 40th anniversary of the 1973 Arab Israeli War - a day usually reserved for praising the Egyptian military.

There is a heavy security presence across the country.

Three separate anti-coup protest marches have been trying to get to Tahrir Square but have been hampered by tear gas.

We are not naming Al Jazeera correspondents for security reason.
