Summary

[edit]
Description

This London crowd protesting against David Cameron's red carpet and tea meeting with Egypt's el-Sisi included both secular minded and Muslim Brotherhood supporters.

The woman in niqab with the megaphone is sheltering underneath a Rabaa al-adawiya umbrella. Rabaa Al-Adawiya is the name of the square in Cairo where Egyptian security forces suppressed a protest of supporters of ousted President Morsi on 14 August 2013 killing many hundreds of civilians and a number of prominent journalists including a veteran Sky News cameraman.

Human Rights Watch described it as ""one of the world's largest killings of demonstrators in a single day in recent history".

The woman wearing the niqab in the photo was leading the crowd in a chorus of anti-Sisi chants including -

يسقط يسقط حكم العسكر. مصر دولة مش معسكر

"Down Down military rule ....Egypt's a nation state not a military encampment"

- although it sounds a lot more poetic and forecful in Arabic - 

"Yuskut yuskut hukm al askar.....Masr dowla mish muaskar."

The crowd refrained from Islamist chants possibly because many of the protesters were of a secular outlook.
