University in Egypt - The new protest hotspot via ME Online


Pressed by police at every turn, Egypt's Islamists have turned universities into protest hubs to galvanise their flagging movement four months after the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi. Morsi's loyalists have made no headway in trying to reinstate the jailed former president, but they continue almost daily protests nonetheless in a bid to force concessions from the government. "The coup authorities do not allow us to protest in the streets without cracking down," said Mahmud Sabry, a student at Al-Azhar University in Cairo. "Universities are now our main battle front."
