Posts tagged: Maidan Al Tahrir

Ever since the conflict began in January 2011, anti-government protesters have occupied the area in front of the main gate of Sana’a University. Traditionally, the Liberation Square (Maidan Al Tahrir) has been THE place to gather and protest but it was occupied by government supporters, so protesters, mostly university students in the beginning, settled on occupying the ring road in front of the university. They named the place Change Square, but it really is a big intersection surrounded by businesses and residential buildings.
