Hundreds demonstrated Monday afternoon in solidarity with Gaza, denouncing the real Axis of Evil: The US, Israel and the Arab regimes:
Holding up newspaper pictures of the victims of the latest Israeli assault on Gaza, and placards reading “our hearts are with you Gaza,” the roughly 100 protesters chanted “down with Bush, down with Israel,” “Mubarak, the blood of the martyrs is on your hands” and “in order to free Jerusalem, we must free Egypt.”
Various political currents, including left-wing and Islamic groups, took part in the protest, organized by opposition group Kefaya.
Sarah Carr covered the protest, for the Daily News Egypt.
I received news also that the Socialist Students mobilized hundreds in Helwan University, simultaneously with Cairo University on Sunday.
UPDATE: Zeinobia has an interesting posting about the Cairo University protests.
From well good resources and eye witnesses the protest of Cairo University in solidarity with Gaza against the Israeli aggression did not go as expected.
First it was about Gaza ,then it moved on cursing the Arab leaders then it moved to the high escalating prices in Egypt suddenly. And guess what more people have the protest then from outside cursing the government and the terrible prices that they can’t live with. Regular people from outside the university, from outside. This is an important indication that people are just fed up with those crazy prices.
UPDATE: Here’s a report from the Resistance Students blog about the Helwan University protests.
