From The Cairo Tower

This is a picture from The Cairo Tower, just across the bridge from Tahrir Square. Here is a group marching to Tahrir. After taking this picture I was to learn that it was lead by a man who had an eye taken out by a rubber bullet in the January protests, and just recently, lost his second eye. Having only rested and coped with his complete loss of sight, the man organized a march and led it straight into the site of his suffering. The resilience and spirit of this man is overwhelmingly inconceivable, and my heart goes out to him. Pray for Egypt's days of suffering to end so men such as this can go home to his children and spend his days knowing his sacrifice resulted in the liberation of his people, his country.

Still working on my photo/video skills.... or just trying to gain some. It's a shame there was no way to capture the chanting of the crowd. Sorry for the quality of the video, happened when I uploaded the video. Also, a that is not fog... it's smog.
