But then, suddenly, the area around the square was surrounded by these people with knives and swords. They were pro-Mubarak supporters, and they were threatening people and taking people\u2019s money,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"node\/9049\">Read an earlier interview with Saleh from the contested Tahrir Square area here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Stopped by Egyptian army<\/h2>\n<p>Saleh himself, a Cairo university friend of a University of Copenhagen student from Slovenia, has been holding out at the Tahrir Square for over a week, with intermittent returns to his home for supplies. <\/p>\n<p>Wednesday he managed somehow to sneak past the suddenly appeared lines of pro-Mubarak supporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe pro-Mubarak supporters were intimidating.

He notes the difference between the international and the official Egyptian TV coverage of the event. The government-supportive Egyptian TV urges pro-democracy protesters to go home.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbBut I believe we have to finish what we have started.
