Egypt marks 2011 uprising Saturday Jan 25,2014


Egyptians gather in Cairo's Tahrir Square on January 25, 2014 during a rally marking the anniversary of the 2011 Arab Spring uprising.

Three years after Egyptians rose up to demand the overthrow of Mubarak, thousands of demonstrators in Cairo's Tahrir Square chanted slogans backing another military man, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, as police clashed with Islamists and activists elsewhere.

At least 29 people were killed in clashes in Egypt on Saturday during rival rallies on the anniversary of the 2011 revolt that toppled Hosni Mubarak
The 29 people were killed in fighting across the country when police and supporters of the military-installed government clashed with Islamist backers of president Mohamed Morsi, who was deposed in July after a single turbulent year in power.
Of the 29 people killed, 26 died in Cairo and its suburbs, health ministry spokesman Ahmed Kamel told
Another 168 people were wounded in the clashes, and police said 725 suspected protesters were arrested
