Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Egypt's Tahir Square on lockdown

This post covers the lockdown on Egypt's Tahrir square following an anti-sisi protest. The regime was surprised by the protesting which resulted in the detention of activists and protestors. The interior ministry plans to use force as the medium for combatting and ending protests. I think that the protesting should be planned for and altered but not combatted solely by force.
