Egypt protests: Send us your photos, videos and reports

Thousands of Egyptian anti-government protesters clashed with police in Cairo on Friday in what is expected to become the largest round in four days of demonstrations calling for the ouster of authoritarian President Hosni Mubarak.

An estimated one million people are taking part in the demonstrations Friday afternoon, which began following prayers at mosques throughout Cairo and elsewhere.

The government cut almost all internet and cellphone data service early Friday. Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter were used to spread information about the protests.

Egypt's four primary internet providers -- Link Egypt, Vodafone/Raya, Telecom Egypt, Etisalat Misr -- all stopped moving data in and out of the country at 12:34 a.m., according to a network security firm monitoring the traffic.

As major outlets of communication have been shut off in many parts of the country, keeping connected is no doubt an issue. If you know people in Egypt, affected by these protests, tell us what you are hearing through the grapevine.

If you are watching or participating in the protests yourself, let us know what you see, but please do not put yourself at risk to capture these reports.
