A number of students at the Faculty of Mass Communication at Cairo University clashed with each other following calls by some for the departure of Faculty Dean Sami Abdul-Aziz, which were opposed by other students who want life on campus to get back to normal.
The anti-Abdul-Aziz students went on an indefinite hunger strike and staged a sit-in whilst others tried to disperse them forcefully, resulting in a brawl that lasted for about 15 minutes. Some female students passed out in the process.
Former Faculty of Mass Communication Dean Laila Abdul-Megid eventually stepped in to ease the tension.
