Cairo Governor Galal Mostafa has decided to close the Al-Azhar tunnel from 10 pm on Thursday 27 November to the morning of Saturday 29 November in anticipation for the protests slated for the 28 November, Al-Masry Al-Youm reports.
The group Salafi Front called for protests on Friday in what it called an “Islamic revolution” against the current regime.
The front was formed in 2011 after the 25 January revolution when it broke away from the more mainstream and pro-regime group Salafi Dawaa, and is now part of the Anti-Coup Alliance, which supports the reinstatement of ousted Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsy.
