Summary[edit]

Description

17 December 2011 by the Egyptian Institute off Qasr El Aini Street, Cairo. Egyptian government militia (affiliated with either the police or Ministry of Interior) were stationed on the roof of the Egyptian Institute (out of view top right) which was on fire while other security forces (military or civilian police) were stationed in the garden. Both were throwing stones at both rioters and protesters although those on the roof had been throwing stones down at protesters for a long period and probably before the fire in the building had started. It seems to have been set fire to deliberately but it is unclear exactly who was responsible.

I am researching a history of Egypt's uprisings and would like to interview anyone who experienced these events. You can contact me via my facebook page - Alisdare Hickson - or by email to alisdare1@yahoo.co.uk or to alisdare@gmail.com.
