Mass protests in Egypt against worsening living conditions and power outages

The Anti-Coup Pro-Legitimacy Alliance staged massive nationwide protests on Friday in Egypt against the decline in living conditions in the country and the continued power outages.

Security forces fired tear gas to disperse the protests, titled: "Revolution until victory."
Most of the chants were against the electricity crisis, price hikes and declining level of public services.

In Al-Menya governorate, the Alliance organised marches in Dalga, Deir Mowas and Samalout towns, in which they condemned the worsening living conditions of citizens since the coup and the routine power outage.

In Cairo, Morsi-supporters staged rallies in Naser City, Ain Shams, Matareya, Mohandeseen, Maadi and Helwan, condemning the repeated electricity cuts and calling for the departure of the current authorities over their failures in resolving the country's most pressing problems.
