Dozens injured in Cairo clashes seeing that crowds mark Egypt demonstration anniversary.

The particular streets around Cairo's Tahrir Sq . were again roiled by simply violent clashes between law enforcement and protesters Friday, as crowds gathered to help mark two years since the start of the revolution that ousted president Hosni Mubarak.

At least 29 protesters have been treated in the last 12 hours for pieces, broken bones and birdshot accidents, Health Ministry spokesman Khaled El Khatib stated.
Six police officers have also been hurt near Tahrir Square, the Ministry said.

On a street a few blocks away from the square that leads to the Interior Ministry along with government buildings, police put up a barrier of concrete floor blocks.
Undeterred, young protesters threw rocks within the barrier at officers positioned there, and police told her sporadically by firing tear gas and blaring sirens.

The numbers making their way toward Tahrir Square grew throughout the morning.

On January 25, 2011, massive crowds accumulated in Tahrir Square to help protest Mubarak's regime, leading to his eventual ouster and couple of years of upheaval.
