Phil Rizk has a great multimedia post at Jadaliyya on the forced dispersal of the sit-in at Tahrir Square.Go read it:
After a nearly three-week long sit-in, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) sent their forces—the same forces that are reportedly tasked with “defending us from our external enemies”—to violently attack peaceful demonstrators, clear a site of protest, and, with the help of a propaganda media machine, try to win over more support of the Egyptian public. I will map out the logic I see in this violent rampage.
From his perch @kikhote captures an important vantage point of the joint military and Egyptian security forces violent attack against demonstrators and the disbanding of the Tahrir sit-in on the eve of the 1st of Ramadan 2011.
