Clashes have ended near the Semiramis Hotel and traffic is once again moving on the Corniche Road after security forces ended clashes that had been ongoing in the area since Saturday.
Police arrested 12 protesters, and two more escaped by jumping into the Nile, after two armored vehicles chased protesters onto side roads, firing tear gas. However, protesters and security forces are still clashing on Youssef al-Guindy Street. Protesters have been throwing Molotov cocktails and stones at police, who respond with tear gas volleys.
Additionally, a protester is in critical condition after being run over by a Central Security Forces vehicle in Abdel Moneim Riyadh Square underneath the 6th of October Bridge.
Violence has been ongoing throughout Egypt since Friday, when clashes broke out between protesters and security forces in several cities during marches commemorating the 25 January revolution that turned into protests against the Muslim Brotherhood.
Nine people have been killed, mostly in Suez, and at least 30 people have been killed in Port Said since Saturday, when more protests broke out after a court sentenced 21 defendants to death in the Port Said football violence case. The military has been deployed to both cities in an attempt to restore order.
In Cairo, protests still lingered in some locations. Protesters around Ettehadiya Palace in Heliopolis have decided to move their sit-in to Tahrir Square after security forces cordoned off the palace.
Police also arrested two women residing in a building overlooking Qasr al-Aini Street after they were spotted filming the clashes, according to local media. Eyewitnesses claimed that police insulted and verbally abused the women while arresting them.
Meanwhile, Abdallah Fawzy, head of the Egyptian Company for Metro Management and Operation, told MENA that the metro was running normally, denying earlier reports that lines had been redirected or shut down due to sit-ins.
