Egypt police rebellion: Low-ranking officers demand better work conditions

The Egyptian police have rebelled against their superiors and authorities for the third time this year demanding incentives at work, better pay, greater firepower and protection as well as more benefits.

In a rare display of disobedience, the police have stormed a superior‘s office in Cairo, while closing the security directorate in the North and striking in the South of the country.
