People's Daily Online, Cairo, February 2 (Reporter Huang Peizhao) On the night of February 2, local time (the morning of February 3, Beijing time), large-scale bloody conflicts broke out again in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Nearly 10,000 fans gathered in front of the Ministry of Interior building near Tahrir Square in the center of Cairo to protest the police's negligence in the previous riots at Port Said Stadium, which caused riots that resulted in 75 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
Reporters at the scene saw fans throwing stones at the police, while the police fired tear gas and stun grenades at the demonstrators to prevent them from storming the Ministry of the Interior building. The scene was filled with gunpowder smoke and the pungent smell was so high that it was almost suffocating. According to official figures released by Adil Adwi, Assistant Minister of Health of Egypt, as of press time, 628 people had been injured, some seriously.
According to Egyptian official television reports, on the night of February, a police station in the central Sinai Peninsula was attacked by local militants.
Many Arab media reported that starting from the first anniversary of Egypt's "revolution" in January this year, Egypt's domestic situation has entered a new period of turmoil, and the development of the situation is worrying.
