The Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) on Wednesday afternoon announced a total of 35 marches on Friday, to counter the call by General Abdul Fatah Al-Sisi for Egyptians to take to the streets in order to authorise the army to “confront terrorism.”
In a statement that appeared on the official FJP page shortly before 3pm local time, the marches, under the slogan of “the people want to overthrow the coup” are expected to begin after Friday prayers from a number of locations in downtown Cairo, Mohandessin, Kit-Kat, Salah Salem, Ain Shams and Nasr City.
