Protests Move From Tahrir To Presidential Palace
The migration of Egyptian protests from Tahrir Square to the presidential palace marks an evolutionary step for Egypt’s opposition movement, writes Stephen Kalin for Al-Monitor.
A new microbus route runs between a public transport hub in downtown Cairo and the presidential palace in the suburb of Heliopolis, where for the past week demonstrators have staged the largest demonstrations since Mohammed Morsi assumed the presidency in July.
A middle-aged protester boarding that bus line at the palace late Thursday night asked, “Where are we going tomorrow? Here or Tahrir?”
