'Nur die Alten gehen wählen'

Ein Bericht über die Wahlen in Ägypten:

"Although some young female voters were present in women-only polling stations which MEE visited, the presence of youths was minimal on the first day of voting in the Egyptian capital.

The mood was subdued mainly in Tahrir Square, the cradle of the 2011 revolution where thousands of protesters camped for 18 days, eventually unseating autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak.

On the side of the square, passersby stopped to take pictures of tens of people wearing Sisi shirts and chanting nationalist slogans. For Mohamed Farouk, a 30-year-old engineer, the scene was heartbreaking.

“I remember when we were here chanting wholly other slogans,” he said, rolling his eyes.

“They are chanting a person’s name now, but we were chanting ‘bread, freedom and social justice’."
