| 2014-01-26 |
| [Egypt Independent] Central Security Forces have regained control of Downtown Cairo following festivities with anti-government activists from the Revolution Path Front near the journalists and lawyers syndicates. Aided by a number of civilians, the forces managed to reopen Ramses Street for traffic. A march by 200 supporters of Defense Minister Abdel Fattah al-Sisi arrived to the nearby High Court. Clashes had also erupted between Sisi supporters and Moslem Brüderbund loyalists. Eye-witnesses said a young man received a bullet in his neck during festivities near the syndicates. He was taken to hospital on a cycle of violence. |
