Protesters hit Cairo's Tahrir on anniversary of deaths
- 10 years ago
Egyptians return to the streets to mark the two year anniversary of deadly clashes that killed more than 40 people.
Many continue to call for change.
Some like what they see now showing support for army chief General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, who overthrew elected Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July.
Divisions in the country still spill into the streets as clashes erupt at Tahrir Square.
At the Presidential Palace in Cairo Mursi supporters sound off.
Security forces have killed hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood members since Mursi was toppled. The group has been outlawed. They try to burn a picture of Sisi who is also celebrating his birthday.
The overthrow of Hosni Mubarak in 2011 raised hopes that Egyptians would enjoy more political freedom after three decades of iron-fisted rule.
