Transitioning Egypt Still using Tear Gas


Those who were lost during the revolution were mourned yesterday in Tahrir Square, alongside demands to actually imprison members of the Mubarak regime for their committed ills and for killing protesters. 

However, when the tension rose security forces began to issue tear gas, reminiscent of the first days of the revolution. 

Tahrir Square still feels tense and is the litmus test going forward for Egypt's new government, and on Tuesday evening the litmus paper was showing acid levels of the colour orange. I don't find this alarming as tension levels are high amongst Egyptians, I do find it, however, unacceptable.
