Battle of the Camel
During the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, CNBC added extensive coverage of the turmoil and violence. Yousef Gamal El-Din, reporting live for the network and MSNBC during the height of the protests in Tahrir Square, was heard "urging protesters to leave him alone so that he could report". Anchors urged him to "stay safe" only minutes after the Battle of the Camel broke out. CNBC has described him as reporting under "the toughest of circumstances".
