Armed forces spokesman says the Egyptian military has deployed to protect citizenry, property as supporters, opponents of Egypt’s embattled presidency brace for open-ended protest
Military forces currently deployed nationwide are aimed at protecting Egyptian citizens and property, armed forces spokesman Ahmed Ali declared Friday.
“These measures are being taken to avoid a 28 January 2011 scenario,” Ali told Egyptian state news agency MENA, referring to violence that ensued during Egypt’s 2011 mass protests that eventually ousted president Hosni Mubarak.
On 28 January 2011, police stations throughout Egypt were stormed and burnt down. Numerous prisons were also broken into, leading to the escape of hundreds of prisoners.
In some areas, shops were broken into and looted. ‘Popular committees’ were quickly established by the citizenry to protect their respective neighborhoods in the subsequent security vacuum.
