Reporting from Tahrir Square in Cairo

I made my wish come true and impulsively got on a flight to Cairo. Believe it or not, my flight from Amman to Cairo was actually full. Most were Egyptians going home, and the rest were journalists. More on the backstory when I get some time.

I am just glad to be on the ground here witnessing history unfold before my eyes.

And I have been lucky enough to produce some videos from Cairo with New York Times op-ed columnist Nicholas Kristof.

Here is the first one. The others are on the Nytimes.com in the Opinion section.

Will blog about them when I get a chance.





This was my first encounter with a mob of Mubarak supporters the night after his speech. Had I known the way they would behave the next day, I probably wouldn't have let them swarm around me.

More to come, inshallah.
