By: Basil El-Dabh Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Al-Sayeda Zeinab area of Cairo today to protest the Muslim Brotherhood and its political party, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP). The protesters criticised President Mohamed Morsy's government for its performance in its first 100 days and pushed for the dissolution of a Constitutional Assembly that they claim does not represent the Egyptian people. The protesters met with groups leaving Mustafa Mahmoud in Mohandaseen to the west, and Dawarn Shubra to the north, converging on Tahrir Square. After prayers at Al-Sayeda Zeinab mosque the group gathered signs and flags as more protesters joined. Present were representatives from a spectrum of Egyptian groups including the Dostour Party, 6 April Movement, the Social Democratic Party, the Egyptian Communist Party, the Free Egyptians Party, and the Popular Current. They were chanting against the Constituent Assembly with slogans such as, “Bread, freedom, and the dissolution of the assembly,” and “Down with the Musjid,” and “One, two, where is the constitution of the revolution?” Gamel Salib, a member of the Free Egyptian Party from Assiut said, “the most important thing we need to remind people of today is that Egypt is for all Egyptians, not for a specific party or group. The revolution asked for bread, freedom, and social justice. Morsy's first 100 days in office gave us none of those, in fact, things have gotten worse. We have to protests because the government clearly isn't listening, we have to protest so they'll hear us.” A farmer from Beni Suef named Mohammed Seif said, “I came out because the government has been neglecting farmers and people living in rural areas. We have had a lot of problems, but over the last three months, they've gotten a lot worse.”
