Ok as far as I have read and heard the strike of the University professors today was successful one,seriously all my twitter sources from inside the Universities across the Republic confirmed this.
Of course the heads of 18 public Universities refused the strikes , I am not surprised after all they were all appointed by the regime.
Here are the news of today ,I am still waiting to get some photos
- The strike was successful a good number of professors and teachers have joined it .
- There were several protests by the Students in both Cairo ,Helwan and Mansoura Universities.
- The participation in the strike differed from faculty to another
Waiting for more updates
I just want to say that the official media ignored the event and claimed that the prime minister saved the day , also the weather today is terribly hot
I am studying Computer Science at Cairo University, and I was just back from the faculty.
ReplyDeleteOur faculty is off-campus, so there wasn't much security forces or anything like there was in the main campus, and the news of the strike wasn't known to some faculty members (Yeah, we kinda live in our own world :P)
I don't have exact numbers, but some faculty members participated in the strike, mainly teaching assistants. But not as much professors participated as far as I saw.
Helwan Uni strike's photos are here
