'Family size' protests at Egypt's Rabaa al-Adawiya
'Family size' protests at Egypt's Rabaa al-Adawiya
Dec 15, 2025 2:44 PM

  Life hasn't settled down in Egypt, the state going through the most important days of its history.

  Egypt's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) has left behind 36 days of demonstrations at Rabaa al-Adawiya Square which has become the center of attention of the world recently. Crowded groups, at times exceeding millions, are determined to continue their protests until Mohamed Morsi, the first elected president of Egypt, is reinstated.

  While at the beginning, FJP supporters dominated the majority of the demonstrators, in time the response to the coup changed in a way that not only fathers and sons but also families began to participate in the demonstrations as "protesters."

  Colorful scenes occurred with the attendance of women and children. Families formed small groups, chanted slogans and sang songs to protest the military coup.

  Protests suddenly changed form and turned into street fairs with women, men, children, elderly and the young joining where children run in between tents and young people organize football matches.

  Pro-Morsi demonstrators have been staging daily mass rallies and sit-ins nationwide since the deposed leader's July 3 ouster by the army following mass protests against him.

  The two biggest sit-ins are in Cairo's Rabaa al-Adawiya and Nahda squares.
