| [Egypt Independent] According to the state-run MENA news agency, hundreds of Al-Azhar University students belonging to the Moslem Brüderbund staged demonstrations in front of the main building in Nasr City on Wednesday, calling it the "Second Azhar Intifada." Security forces prevented the students from going out of the campus to demonstrate in the street and disrupt traffic. The demonstrators launched fireworks, rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against the administration and the army, and flashed the Rabaa sign. Meanwhile in Banha University, Al-Masry Al-Youm reported demonstrations by Brotherhood students in front of the faculties of medicine on the anniversary of the March 2011 referendum. Campus security deployed extra personnel to face the demonstrations. In Abu Zaabal, Brotherhood protesters formed a human chain on the Khanka road, raising pictures of ousted President Mohammed Morsy and the victims of the Rabaa al-Adaweya sit-in dispersal. They rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against the army and the police and engaged in altercations with the residents of the area. For his part, Qalyubiya Governor Mohammed Abdel Zaher raised the state of emergency, canceled all vacations and took measures to secure facilities against the Brotherhood demonstrations. Police also stepped up security in the governorate and on the Cairo-Alexandria Delta road. According to the official Al-Ahram newspaper, Brotherhood students at Cairo University who are affiliated with the "Students against the Coup" movement staged demonstrations and posted them live on the Internet with their mobile phones. They raised the al-Qaeda flag, rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against the police, and demanded the release of their colleagues. The Faculty of Engineering Student Union called on all students to join the demonstration. Administrative security separated the demonstrators from the other students. |

| #2 It has heretofore been rather unsuccessful among engineers, so this report is a surprise. Mr. Morsi was an engineering professor in the U.S. before he went back to run for president, Thrusotch and Tenille7340. Perhaps he enforced a change in the rules when he was in office. |

| #1 Practically from its inception, and now for more than 80 years the Muslim Brotherhood has sought to infiltrate and control the "professions". It has heretofore been rather unsuccessful among engineers, so this report is a surprise. |
