Activist Akram el-Irani was on an adventure in the Underground Metro today. Around 5:30pm, and after a 15-minute stop at Saad Zaghloul Station, the metro started speeding, refusing to stop for successive nine stations, and only came to halt somewhere between Hammat el-Qobba and Saraya el-Qobba Stations, close to the Mukhabarat and the Presidential Palace.
The passengers jumped out of the carriages, and started what Akram described as a spontaneous demo, criticizing the railway authorities, the government, and the president himself.
