Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi will attend the Police Day celebrations on Monday at the headquarters of the Police Academy in New Cairo, the Presidency said. This is El-Sisi's second visit to the Police Academy in a week, as he made a dawn tour to its facilities on Friday to be briefed on the training systems designed for the students there. The Police Day is celebrated every year on 25 January and is a paid holiday for employees in the public and private sectors. It also coincides with the anniversary of the 25 January Revolution in 2011, when millions of Egyptians rushed to streets and protested for several days to oust late President Hosni Mubarak. Mubarak stepped down on 11 February. This year, employees will take Thursday 28 January off instead, under a decision by the premier to make Thursday a day off instead of any week-day holiday to "give citizens a chance to have a long weekend."
