Fresh scuffles near Tahrir on Mohamed Mahmoud anniversary
Scuffles erupted between protesters supporting the army and their opponents in Mohamed Mahmoud Square
Published in Ahram Online on 19 - 11 - 2013

Scuffles broke out again between supporters of the army and their opponents in Abdel-Moneim Riad Square on the edges of Tahrir Square on Tuesday evening.
At the time of publication, protesters were reportedly pelting each other with stones and had disrupted traffic in the area near the 6 October Bridge.
Several limited scuffles had taken place on Tuesday in the same area – the vicinity of Tahrir Square - as hundreds of protesters converged on Tahrir to commemorate the deadly clashes in Mohamed Mahmoud Street in 2011.
The majority of Tahrir protesters oppose both the military and the Muslim Brotherhood. Pro-army groups had attempted to protest in the square, before they were driven out by opposing protesters. Islamist groups, who also oppose the military, were also driven out by the Tahrir protesters when they attempted to join the demonstrations.
Some 47 people were killed and at least 3,000 injured in days of clashes beginning on 19 November 2011 between anti-military protesters and security forces.
At the time, the Muslim Brotherhood and their Islamist allies denounced the protesters, accusing them of trying to disrupt the parliamentary elections which were scheduled to start a week later.
The clashes took place while the country was being governed by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, following president Hosni Mubarak's ouster in February 2011.
