Under the Protection of the People
Posted on
Alexandria saw massive demonstrations throughout the city (see video) leading to the stepping down of President Hosni Mubarak. The Library was protected by the people who joined hands around the building.
Young students from the university designed and made a huge National Flag, and put it on the steps of the Library (see images) which elicited cheers from passing demonstrators as the director waved to the crowds (see image).
