Clashes between pro-Morsi students, security forces outside Cairo University
2014-01-13
[Al Ahram] Violent festivities erupted Sunday afternoon between pro-Morsi students and security forces outside Cairo University with several students injured.

The festivities began when 10 pro-Morsi students
Waitaminit! All this fuss for less than a dozen protestors? I remember when the Ikhwan could call up tens of thousands for a flash mob. Ten is just embarrassing.
from "Students Against Coup" (SAC) organised a rally that roamed Cairo University grounds and then left campus heading from Al-Nahda Square to Dokki Street where they were met by security forces.

The students rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against this week's constitutional referendum, describing it as a scandal and demanding the reinstatement of ousted president Mohammed Morsi
...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Time principle, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator...
. The students also chanted against the interior ministry. SAC has been calling for a boycott of the referendum.
"... And a pony!"
Security forces dispersed the protest with tear gas while students hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails, torching a police kiosk near Cairo University. Police managed to force the students to retreat back to Cairo University campus where they were continued to protest and hurl rocks at security forces.

Cairo University in Giza and Al-Azhar University in Cairo, along with Ain Shams University, also in the capital, have witnessed frequent violent festivities between security forces and pro-Morsi students since the start of the academic year.
Yes, but ten? A Texas Ranger would laugh himself silly.

#4  #3 Pappy, at least at one time Cairo U. graduated some fine students.

Hey, I earned my BS from CU in archeology,
then an MA in ancient Egyptian cosmetology.
Now my future looks bright, with good remuneration,
as I run my own Parlor of Mummification!

#3  Pappy, at least at one time Cairo U. graduated some fine students. But like our own schools, that may no longer be the case.

#2  I dunno, Hemingway. Mebbe if you had gone to Cairo University, you'd be a better writer.

#1  Think of it this way: Just what kind of an education would you have really gotten if you HAD gone to Cairo University?

Even on a good day.

Don't you wish you were a Moslem and got a fine Moslem education? At a prestigious University in Cairo, say?
Yeah.
