At least four protesters have been killed and scores of others injured as Egyptian security forces opened fire on thousands of demonstrators protesting against the government of President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, reports Aljazeera.
The protests, which were led by the opposition Salafist Front in Cairo, were the first mass demonstrations after months of quiet, after the Salafist Front called for an uprising to “topple military rule in Egypt.”
