VIDEO: Clashes continue on corniche in downtown Cairo Clashes continue into Monday around Qasr El-Nile Bridge close to Tahrir Square following night of stone-throwing and tear gas
Violent clashes between protesters and security forces have continued into Monday near Qasr El-Nile Bridge in downtown Cairo. Clashes continued throughout Sunday night with particularly heavy use of tear gas, from three different points around Tahrir Square, after President Morsi's speech at around 10pm. Dozens of protesters hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails at police near the Qasr El-Nile entrance to Tahrir Square. Police responded with dense volleys of tear gas in an attempt to push protesters back into the square. Clouds of smoke could still be seen around Tahrir on Monday morning and tear gas leaked into the nearby Sadat metro station, causing a brief suspension of services. Violence has taken place in Cairo and several other cities across the country since Friday's anniversary of the January 25 Revolution, leaving dozens dead and hundreds injured. In a speech to the nation on Sunday night, President Morsi announced a state of emergency in the canal cities of Suez, Port Said and Ismailia, where the clashes have been most intense.
