On the 40th anniversary of the 6 October 1973 War, supporters of the Egyptian military poured into Tahrir Square to voice their approval of the current military leader, General Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.

 

Many in Tahrir called on El-Sisi to be the next president of Egypt. A group called Tawahod are gathering signatures to that effect.

 

Elsewhere in Egypt, deadly clashes erupted as supporters of former president Mohamed Morsi clashed with security forces.
