CAIRO — Egypt’s police force has renewed protests against what they
termed the takeover by the ruling Muslim Brotherhood.

Officials reported a series of protests by police outside of Cairo. On
April 28, police were said to have blocked their stations in a demand that included the dismissal of Egypt’s interior minister, linked to the
Brotherhood.

Egypt’s official Middle East News Agency said the protests took place in
the Kafr El Sheik province in the Nile Delta. MENA said police locked the
gates of headquarters with chains in protest of the Brotherhood infiltration
of the security forces.

Police also went on strike in Egypt’s southern province of Assiyut.
Reports by Egypt’s state-owned media said the police were protesting what
they asserted was a failure by the government to better their conditions.

In March, police throughout Egypt went on strike as part of demands for
higher salaries, improved conditions and the end of Brotherhood
interference. In August 2012, President Mohammed Morsi began a reshuffle of
senior police commanders in what the strikers said introduced Brotherhood
supporters.
