Algerian students subjected to acts of aggression in Egypt … They call for help through “Echorouk”

A number of Algerian students who are following higher university studies in Egypt have appealed to President Abdellaziz Bouteflika to take urgent measures to put an end to the scathing ordeal they have been subjected to in Egypt since the Egypt – Algeria World cup qualifier played on November 14th in Cairo.  

• Several male and female Algerian students yesterday got in touch with the newspaper “Echorouk” to voice their deep concern and their helplessness in the face of the unwarranted wave of violence unleashed against the Algerians settled in Cairo and elsewhere by embittered and misguided Egyptians since the November 14th match in Cairo stadium.

• Zineb, an Algerian student who is pursuing higher university studies in Egypt said that herself and several other Algerian female students had been subjected to physical assaults by Egyptian rogues.
