Egypt: thousands protesters return to Tahrir sqaure for 'Friday of Dignity'

Cairo - Independent Maghreb Press Agency - Protesters began arriving to Tahrir Square in large numbers early this morning. Three stages are being erected next to stages belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood stage and the April 6 Youth Movement. Brotherhood supporters have made a cordon around their stage to prevent clashes with the other protesters.

Popular committees, a mainstay in the square's evolving dynamic, have prevented traffic from entering the square, forming security points at all the squares entrances.

A group of Syrian activists arrived in the flashpoint square where the Syrian community have built their own stage near the Arab League building.
