Egypt at WAR – foreign journalist killed. This was not how it was supposed to be.

Egypt is currently at war, ever since the change of government some months back. What should have been a happy time and a new beginning for the home of civilization has turned into a bloodbath for many.

Just today an armoured police vehicle was pushed off a bridge by protestors in Cairo today.  

Video footage shows the van plunging off the 6th October Bridge before demonstrators attacked the wreckage. It is not known if how many people were on board and how many people survived the fall, but disturbing images shows bloodied men lying around the van moments afterwards. 

Unconfirmed reports claimed five officers were killed. As violence across the capital escalated, Egypt announced a month-long state of emergency across the nation on state TV from 2pm. More than 1,400 people have been injured nationwide and the government said 149 were dead.

One of those was Sky cameraman Mick Deane, who was covering clashes between security forces and protectors, was shot dead this morning. Mr Deane, 61, who was married with two sons, was with Middle East correspondent Sam Kiley when he was shot.

Meanwhile Egypt's vice president and pro-reform leader Mohamed ElBaradei resigned in protest at the raids saying he would not be held responsible for a 'single drop of blood'.

So sad.
