Protesters clashed with security forces in Cairo's northern Mattariya district on Tuesday after the latter attempted to impose a security cordon around angry demonstrators.
The "Day of Rage" demonstrations--organized by the 6 April reform movement, the Social Justice Party, the Nasserist Party and the Muslim Brotherhood--featured banners demanding the removal of Egypt's ruling regime and the dismissal of the interior minister.
Demonstrators also loudly condemned skyrocketing inflation and unemployment.
MP for Mattariya Mimi al-Omda reportedly joined security forces in preventing passers-by from watching or participating in the demonstrations.
“Their demands are illogical,” al-Omda said of the protestors. “Prices have actually gone down.”
