Thousands gathered in Cairo's main square on Friday urging an end to
sectarian violence, continued political reforms and support of the Palestinian
cause.
The rally comes after Muslim-Christian clashes left 12 dead over the
weekend in sectarian fighting. Violence between Egypt's Coptic Christians and
conservative Muslims has led to calls for tolerance.
Some in the crowd waved Palestinian flags in support of rallies on Friday
in the Palestinian territories leading up to Sunday's commemoration of what
Palestinians call Naqba ((catastrophe)), the anniversary of the creation of
Israel. Others called for continued political reforms and the prosecution of
officials linked to the former government of ex-president Hosni Mubarak.
