Nationwide protests in Egypt against price hikes

The protesters responded to a call by the National Anti-Coup Alliance, which called on supporters to rally on Friday, the first anniversary of the 30 August 2013 protests.

In Cairo the protests were held in the districts of Hilwan, Maadi, Mokattam, Matareya, Ain Shams, Nasr City and Shubra Al-Kheima. The protesters waved pictures of Morsi and the Rabaa sign and held banners that condemned the deterioration of living conditions and continued power cuts.

In Giza governorate, west of Cairo, 14 marches were held in Mohandeseen, Imbaba, Nahya, Haram, Faisal, Omraneya, 6 October, Sheikh Zayed, Al-Badrasheen, Al-Hawamdeya, and Al-Saff.

In Fayoum protesters held a "motorbike march" against the price hikes, while others held a vigil in which they raised empty bottles of oil, in reference to the crisis in the supply of basic commodities.
