Black Bloc Egypt

Black Bloc is comprised of militant, highly politicised and street battle-hardened soccer fans who are embattled with Egyptian President Morsi's government because of the death in 2012 of 74 supporters of crowned Cairo club Al Ahli SC in a politically loaded brawl in the Suez Canal city of Port Said. The protestors believe that Morsi'd security forces were complicit in the brawl and perhaps perpetrated it. The situation was exacerbated when the Morsi government inagurated a crackdown on civilians demonstrating against the newly formed government after the overthrow of former President Mumbarak after the Arab Spring.VideoVideo: 2013 Black Bloc propaganda video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8IyRkEKywY

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions.  Please write [email protected] or hit the "SUBMIT ADDITIONS" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
