Egyptian people have held fresh anti-government protest rallies across the country, calling for the reinstatement of former President, Mohammed Morsi, who was ousted by the military in 2013.
According to Press TV, on Friday, outraged demonstrators took to the streets and formed human chains in the capital, Cairo, as well as other cities, including Alexandria, Giza, the Nile Delta Provinces of Sharqiya, Dakahlia, Beheira and Kafr el-Sheikh as well as the Upper Egypt Provinces of Fayoum, Bani-Suef and Minya.
The protests were called by Egypt’s Anti-Coup Alliance, which is led by Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood movement.
The alliance has called for a week of protests against the military-backed government in Cairo under the slogan “Our steadfastness is the path to victory.”
The protesters denounced Cairo’s ongoing crackdown on dissidents and the devastating military operations in the restive Sinai Peninsula, the government’s corrupt economic policies and the deteriorating living conditions in the North African state.
