There have been lots of protests but at least they seem to have been tolerated to some extent. There has been lots of tear gas fired to try to break up the crowds but, as far as we can ascertain, no wholesale massacre. Have seen some of the protests on one of the TV channels here and they looked pretty peaceful with lots of women in the marches. We have heard distant gunfire but nothing at all in our area. The gun fire is probably tear gas cannisters being fired or rubber bullets. Our next door neighbour went out in his car a short while ago and returned a few a few minutes ago. Clearly no problems in the immediate vicinity. The helicopter circles overhead keeping an eye on things. As long as it doesnt stop in your area you know there's no major gatherings near you.
Let's hope for a peaceful end to the day.
