Some have marched in support of the new President, Mohammed Morsi, while others oppose his recent move to take new powers. There are clear echoes of the demonstrations which toppled former President Hosni Mubarak last year. One of the most potent images of those times was the footage of a red-hooded woman being beaten by soldiers as she tried to come to the aid of another protester. It was shown around the world. That woman was Azza Hilal Suleiman. The army have admitted their soldiers were involved in the incident but say their response was proportionate to the circumstances. Well, now Azza is back on the streets, protesting again. From Cairo, she told me why she joined the anti-Mubarak demonstrations in the first place.
I will tell you my age. I'm 50. But Mubarak's story started with me when I was just 18. Coz my family is in the army, we were always talking in the house about Mubarak and I learnt a lot and they didn't like it. Everybody didn't like it, but everybody just kept talking until I found those beautiful youths taking down to the streets and I decided to join them. And you know, it was the best part of my life so far.
You said that you come from a military family. Did your views about the military change once you had joined those protests?
We can divide the army in two: the military council and those soldiers and officers who accepted the orders - the orders to attack the protesters and to hit them. And that part I refuse.不过我们还是先来听这个故事。最近几天，开罗的街巷又再一次上演了聚众抗议的一幕。有人游行以示对新任总统穆罕默德·穆尔西的支持，其他人则反对他近来扩张权力的举措。从这些抗议中明显可以看出去年推翻前总统胡斯尼·穆巴拉克的游行的影子。当时最具影响力的画面之一来自于一段视频，一位裹着红头巾的妇女想要救助另一位抗议者，但却遭到士兵们的殴打。这段视频在全世界广为传播。那位妇女名叫阿扎·希拉尔·苏丽曼。军方承认他们的士兵的确参与了此事，但称他们只是针对当时的情况作了适当的反应。现如今阿扎又重回街头，再次进行抗议。现在身在开罗的她向我诉说她最初为何要加入反穆巴拉克的游行示威。
“我来告诉你我的年纪。我已经50岁了。但从我18岁的时候起就听说穆巴拉克的故事了。因为家就在军中，所以我们总是在家里谈论穆巴拉克，而我也从中知道了不少。人们并不喜欢他的执政，没人喜欢，但大家都只是说说而已，直到我发现那些优秀的年轻人走上街头，我就决定加入他们。你知道吗，那可是我这辈子至今最棒的经历了。”
“你说你来自于一个随军家庭，那么你对军队的看法是否在你参加那些抗议活动后有所改变了呢？”
“我们可以把军队分成两部分：军事委员会以及士兵们和军官们，后者只是接受命令，即攻击和殴打抗议者们，这是我反对的。”
