Cairo, February 13, 2013 (Shahira Amin for RIA Novosti*) – On Monday [11 February 2013], two years after former President Hosni Mubarak was ousted, thousands of people in Cairo and across Egypt went out onto the street in protest, calling for an end to Islamist President [Mohamed] Morsi’s rule.
Scores of protesters set out from various meeting points in the capital, marching towards Tahrir Square and Al Ittihadeya Presidential Palace, where there have been violent clashes between opposition activists and security forces in recent weeks.
Monday’s protests threaten to further destabilize the country, wracked by weeks of unrest sparked by the passing of a constitution rejected by liberal opposition political parties.
