AlMasr AlYoum has published very interesting footage of the night that the army stormed Midan Tahrir, also including statements by some of those officers who had joined the protesters on that day. All with English subtitles and definitely worth watching!
As usual it is hard to interpret and draw conclusions from what we see. What sems pretty clear: a massacre or even only an army that is decisive to quell a revolt with force looks different (Lybia, Yemen, Bahrain and Syria can give hints here...). Yet, reports from the night have stated already before that the army was more brutal when chasing protesters through the streets of downtown, which allegedly also was when and where the (numbered now as one to tree) deaths occured.
