Tahrir Square: Friday Evening and Riot Police

tahrir square: A group calling itself Movement of the Poor called for Egyptians to protest on Friday to protest the deepening austerity measures imposed by Egyptian President al-Sisi, according to Deutsche Welle. But major protests did not take place across the country by Friday evening. Tahrir Square, the focus point of the Egyptian Revolution in 2011, was deserted other than the gathered security forces. Police disrupted small gatherings, leading to minor scuffles. Armored vehicles with tear gas canister launchers and dozens of riot police were stationed in the iconic square. No injuries or deaths were reported. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
