Military police poured into Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Wednesday in hopes of stopping clashes between protesters and police, as the Egyptian government said a “truce” had been declared through a group of clerics.
Military police lined up, separating protesters from the police.
But after a period of calm, some protesters began throwing rocks at soldiers. Riot police responded with tear gas.
Some Army soldiers tried to stop security forces from shooting tear gas, but they were outnumbered.
On state-run TV, the government said religious scholars were on their way “to form a human shield between the protesters and the security forces.”
