On the island of Warraq in Giza governorate, videos posted by activists showed demonstrations calling for the departure of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi from the regime.
In the Al-Basateen neighborhood, in the center of the Egyptian capital, Cairo, a demonstration was held calling for Sisi’s departure, and protesters chanted slogans against him and demanded his departure.
In Al-Kadaya village in Giza governorate, Egyptian security forces dispersed a demonstration demanding Sisi to leave, and security forces attacked the village and fired live gas and live bullets to disperse the protesters.
The videos showed protesters smashing a police car, amid the encouragement of those present, despite the police response, amid chants calling on Sisi to leave and refuse to remain in power.
Protesters from the village of Al-Kadaya destroyed two cars of the Egyptian police forces as part of the demonstrations that began today, Saturday, against President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi.
Dozens of protesters chanted slogans against the Sisi regime, following calls for demonstrations called today by artist and contractor Muhammad Ali.
The vicinity of Tahrir Square in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, also witnessed a widespread security alert.
Egypt is witnessing a security alert alongside calls for protest rallies launched by Egyptian artist and contractor Muhammad Ali, and adopted by a large number of Egyptian opposition forces.
The security services anticipated the protests by launching an arrest campaign that included political figures, including left-wing political thinker Amin al-Mahdi, and various activists, especially in the eastern city of Suez.
However, the country witnessed a remarkable calm in various parts of the country, with the absence of demonstrations in response to a call for protest against the regime, while the security services launched an investigation into reports of the burning of a police car west of the capital, Cairo, while an international human rights organization criticized the ruling regime.
According to observations and tweets on communication platforms, the demonstration squares in Egypt, in Cairo, have been devoid of protest, with a generalized security presence so far.
Pro-regime media launched a strong attack on the calls for demonstrations, considering them part of an external conspiracy aimed at overthrowing the state.
Egyptian media launched counter-hashtags asking the Egyptian president to stay in power, in response to hashtags launched by the opposition asking Sisi to leave.
Despite this, calls to demonstrate against the regime of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi dominated the scene through local platforms, where the hashtag “Down with the military government” broadcast the Egyptian trend for hours, and activists they interacted with the hashtag “We are descending and we are not afraid”. This is in the midst of calls for commitment and taking to the streets, starting at nine o’clock today and they are making what they called the electronic revolution a reality.
The activists considered the calls for demonstrations as a real opportunity to break the barrier of fear and affirm the rejection of a large part of the Egyptian street to the social, economic and political policies of the regime, in addition to the suppression of freedoms and arrests among critics and opponents.
On the other hand, Sisi supporters reacted using the hashtag “You are not alone”, showing their adherence to the system, which they described as the achievement system.
Egyptian businessman and artist Muhammad Ali renewed his call for Egyptians to unite and take to the streets to overthrow the government of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and for the people to rule Egypt, as he himself put it.
He added during a video of him through his page “Secrets of Muhammad Ali” via “Facebook”: “Aww, weaken, unite, people of Egypt, the government is for the people of Egypt, give the country back to you again “I will not be in Sisi’s hand to leave Sisi’s government. We will not let anyone return home.”
Muhammad Ali also called on the Egyptians and the people of the Egyptian governorates to take to the streets and demonstrate against poverty and marginalization, to break fear and liberate Egypt, as he himself said.
He added: “We are liberating our country and stopping it with our tricks. Apply your tricks, Egyptians and unite all the governorates of Egypt. Where are our sisters who have been forgotten by night? Get up. Where are the outcasts? Get up and see. and say your voice and break the fear and speak your voice. “
In turn, Amnesty International urged the Egyptian authorities to release the detainees from the regime’s prisons.
The organization said large numbers of people are in Egyptian jails on unfounded charges related to what the Egyptian authorities call terrorism.
Amnesty International added that the Egyptian authorities launched the largest crackdown a year ago against protesters since Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi came to power, and that the campaign launched by the Egyptian authorities a year ago included the arrest of at least four a thousand people.
Today marks the anniversary of the greatest crackdown on protesters in #Egypt Since arrival # Yes Yes Send. At least 4,000 people were arrested, including journalists and activists who did not even participate in the protests. Many are incarcerated on unfounded charges of “terrorism”.

The organization noted that the campaign launched by the Egyptian authorities a year ago included journalists and activists who did not participate in the protests.
Amnesty International indicated that the Egyptian authorities wanted to convey a message that anyone who dared to criticize the government would be crushed.
It was not possible to obtain comment from the Egyptian authorities on the Amnesty International statement, but Cairo tends to emphasize respect for human rights and the rule of law whenever it faces local and international human rights criticism.
