CAIRO — In recent months, hundreds of master’s and doctoral degree holders who graduated in 2015 have held demonstrations in Cairo, demanding that they be appointed to jobs in the state administration. A protest was held Nov. 24 outside Ittihadiya presidential palace, followed by another Nov. 29 in Tahrir Square.
The latter demonstration was broken up by security forces, and 31 of the participants were arrested, most notably Mahmoud Abu Zeid, the general coordinator of the protest campaign, while he was speaking to the press in Tahrir Square.
