people gathered in many streets and public squares, chanting for Egypt and president Sisi, holding flags and celebrating the 1973 victory anniversary

 

The pro-regime celebrations came as per a call by a number of political parties. The number of people celebrating the victory anniversary have increased, as they appeared raising Egyptian flags.

Also, on Social Media, people have defended the state and the president against opposite calls, affirming that such celebrations mark an end to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood group’s ambitions to spread chaos across the country.

The celebrations were spotted in Alexandria, Sinai, Luxor, Ismailia,Asyut, Sharqia and many other governorates.

 

In Alexandria, a huge celebration has been organized in Sidi Gaber square. Protesters have appeared chanting slogans including “Tahya Misr” (Long Live Egypt).

They have also expressed appreciation to the soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in the October War.

Being hungry for a political turmoil in Egypt, Qatari state-owned Al Jazeera and other pro-Muslim Brotherhood channels have forced themselves to abandon the fact-checking process and publish a video fabricated by a famous Egyptian firm of alleged protests in Giza, west of the capital.

 

The Muslim Brotherhood organization has been designated by the Egyptian state as terrorist since late in 2013, after the ousting of the group’s leader, Mohamed Morsi, only one year after he took post as president.

Fake protests were filmed by the United Company for Media Services led by Tamer Morsy, an Egyptian businessman and media producer, in a filming location. It was sent on purpose to these channels, known for hostile reporting against the Egyptian state, to test the degree of their professionalism.

 

TV presenters and public figures were shocked as Al Jazeera decided to publish the video as showing real protests without checking the source or treating the video with skepticism and citing unknown sources.
