A demonstration took place in the village of Al-Kadaya in Giza Governorate, Egypt, against the regime of President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, despite the security alert and emphasis by the Egyptian security forces.
Videos showed the demonstrators smashing a police car, amid encouragement from the people present, despite the police response to them.
The demonstrators held banners calling on Sisi to leave.
Egypt is witnessing a security alert in conjunction with calls for protest demonstrations launched by the Egyptian artist and contractor Muhammad Ali, and adopted by a large number of Egyptian opposition forces.
The security services preempted the protests by launching a campaign of arrests that included political figures, including the left-wing political thinker Amin al-Mahdi, and a number of activists, especially in the eastern city of Suez.
Pro-regime media launched a sharp attack on the calls for demonstrations, considering them part of an external conspiracy aimed at overthrowing the state.
The Egyptian media launched counter-hashtags calling on the Egyptian president to remain in power, in response to the opposition's "hashtags" calling him to leave.
Muhammad Ali had expected a wide response in the Egyptian street to the calls to demonstrate today, launched in protest against the deteriorating living conditions.
He said that the year that has passed since his first call to demonstrate in September of last year, has witnessed developments in Sisi's policies that gave Egyptians greater determination and courage to protest, the latest of which was his decision to demolish violating homes.
