I called a few friends all around the UK and beyond, telling them there are scenes being broadcast from "Tahrir" Liberation square that are best seen as few words could describe them.
Camels and Horses, yes I said Camels were charging anti-government protesters in the square....How were they transported to the centre of the city?
