"Victory Day" million man marches on Sunday
Published in Daily News Egypt on 11 - 08 - 2013

The Anti-Coup Coalition announced further marches taking place on Sunday from a number of locations around Cairo. The marches are scheduled to depart from Old Cairo, Helwan Gardens, Nasr City and Downtown in the Cairo governorate, and converge at the sit-in at Rabaa Al-Adaweya. The marches in the Cairo governorate are scheduled to depart at 4pm.
Marches are also planned in the Giza governorate, and will converge at the second pro-Morsi sit-in at Nahda Square, close to Cairo University. The marches are due to leave from Lebanon Square in Mohandessin, Remaya Square in Dokki and Juhayna Square in 6th of October City, according to a statement released on Saturday. The Giza marches are scheduled to leave for Al-Nahda Square at 7pm.
A women's-only march was also announced from Galaa Square in Dokki, which will leave at 5pm and will head for Al-Nahda Square.
The latest set of marches come after an uneasy night in Rabaa Al-Adaweya, which has been placed on high alert following a statement by the Ministry of the Interior on 1 August in which the Ministry announced its intention to "bring an end" to the sit-ins.
On Saturday night, the electricity was cut in Rabaa Al-Adaweya, sparking fears by some in the sit-in that a clearing by security forces was imminent. Gehad El-Haddad, spokesman of the Muslim Brotherhood announced on Twitter: "BREAKING: Power cuts around #Rabaa #AntiCoup sit-in & satellite feed has been shut off. #Rabaa on high-alert."
The power was restored using generators a short while later, Al-Jazeera announced. There was no evidence of any incursion by security forces during the power outage.
Rabaa's state of readiness has come in the form of reinforced barriers on Nasr Road, where demonstrators used thousands of concrete paving slabs to build defensive positions complete with sandbags. On Yousef Abbas Street, demonstrators laid concrete berms in the street.
In addition to the anti-vehicle defences, many of Rabaa's uniformed "guards" have been issued nunchucks alongside their wooden sticks and batons.
