February of this year was a turning point in Egypt, when President Mubarak was overthrown. Civilans over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend decided to protest against the 2am curfew, killing 24 people and injuring over 300. 
Violence has been a common occurrence every since the revolution, however, the security forces did not run citizens over with vehicles in the past. Most of those killed were Coptic Christians, a minority in Cairo. Hate crimes were being committed against the Coptic’s and nothing was being done about it, and in the end most of the 24 killed were of that religion. Protests ending negatively and deadly such as this one are a key example as to how there are still some groups who are not accepting of other religions, or races, forcing the minorities to protest and riot. If groups did not have a reason to feel the need to protest, then there would be the outcomes such as this one over this past weekend in Cairo. It makes me wonder why an actual neutral body, such as the UN hasn’t stepped in, or someone else in order to save the lives of civilians.
