Coverage

"A supporter of President Hosni Mubarak, on camel, fights with anti-Mubarak protesters in Cairo, Egypt, Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Several thousand supporters of President Hosni Mubarak, including some riding horses and camels and wielding whips, clashed with anti-government protesters Wednesday as Egypt's upheaval took a dangerous new turn."

During the first days of the revolution, there was no one working and all businesses were shut down. As a result a lot of the people that like Mubarak and get paid daily by the government were pushed to try and kick out the protesters for the Tahrir Square which was the reason for a hundreds of injuries and tens of deaths.
