Monday''s papers: Violence at Cairo Stadium
Published in Almasry Alyoum on 04 - 04 - 2011

All of today's newspapers write about the violence at Cairo Stadium on Saturday during a soccer match.
On its front page, state-owned Al-Akhbar reports that Egypt apologizes on behalf of the mob that overran the field during a match between Egypt's Zamalek club and Tunisia's Club Africain. It wonders how thousands of thugs managed to enter the stadium, reporting that a committee has been formed to investigate and the premier league will continue without an audience.
Al-Wafd writes that the revolution was demolished in Cairo Stadium. It says the minister of justice will be investigating, while 17 rioters were referred to military prosecution and the premier league has been postponed. State-owned Al-Ahram writes that 150 people have been arrested, as opposed to the 17 Al-Wafd reports.
Independent newspaper Al-Shorouk writes that the police knew about the attack and that the prosecution states financial losses are around LE50 million.
On another note, Al-Shorouk quotes the minister of interior as saying that Egypt's 1978 Camp David Accords with Israel is not a sacred agreement, and that Iran is not an enemy.
On page four, Abdel Hakim Abdel Nasser, son of late president Gamal Abdel Nasser, says that 25 January revolution is an extension of the 23 July revolution -- when King Farouk I was overthrown in 1952 -- and imposes the same principles. Abdel Nasser says he will not vote for Amr Moussa in the upcoming presidential elections, but that Hamdeen Sabbahi seems like a good candidate.
Al-Ahram, meanwhile, writes that the Supreme Council of Armed Forces denies that ousted president Hosni Mubarak has traveled to Germany.
On page three, Al-Ahram writes that Naguib Sawiras is forming a political party called Free Egyptians, intended for all religions and segments of society. The businessman states that he will not head the party and added that the majority of its members will be Muslims who believe that religion is for God and the homeland is for everyone.
In its international news section, Al-Wafd writes that Muammar Qadhafi's troops have bombed the Libyan city of Misrata and isolated it from the world. Turbulence continues in the Arab world as the Yemeni regime weakens and Syrian president Bashar al-Assad asks his former agriculture minister to form a new government.
Al-Akhbar reports general prosecutors are demanding 22 years of prison for former interior minister Habib al-Adly for the charges of money laundering that have been brought against him, among other charges.
On a different note, the state owned publication writes of rain in Egypt and snow in Tanta, saying the cold wave will end tomorrow.
Finally, the "Man in the Galabeya" made headlines in all the newspapers. A young man in a galabeya was spotted during Saturday's Zamalek match. Facebook groups were created after the game, reflecting curiosity about the identity of the "man in the galabeya."
