Thousands of Egyptian students demonstrate against Sharon's visit
Thousands of students in the Alexandria University yesterday organized a protest march inside their varsity campus against the visit to Sharm Al-Sheikh of Zionist premier Ariel Sharon. The students denounced the visit and the summit describing it as a "shame on the Muslim Ummah" and hoisted posters reminding of Sharon's bloody history. The demonstrators asked the Palestinian people to continue resisting occupation and issued a statement rejecting Sharon's visit and describing it as an insult to Cairo.The students asked the Egyptian government not to return its ambassador to Tel Aviv and championed the reactivation of the boycott of Zionist goods and canceling of the QIZ agreement between Washington, Cairo and Tel Aviv. The students in a three-hour demonstration burnt the "Israeli" flag and dummies of Sharon amidst cheers as Egyptian security sources cordoned off the campus to prevent the students from going outside it.
