Protests in Suez continue as of time of writing. While families and the martyrs and city residents continue their protests near the Suez Canal Authority threatening to shut it down, others took to the Suez – Ain Sokhna highway, blocking it for nine hours, while chanting “We either get their (martyrs’) rights, or we die here today.”
The army cracked down, opening the highway by force, arresting 25 protesters before they were reportedly released roughly an hour ago. Upon hearing this news, protesters in Alexandria blocked the Corniche road. And as for the army, it of course denied the use of violence in suspending the protests.
Army denying the use of violence… The Egyptian Armed Forces sound more and more like the IDF…
