Efter tisdagens våldsamma sammandrabbningar i Manshiet Nasr i östra Kairo, där 13 personer dödades, anklagar många aktivister säkerhetspolisen för att ha legat bakom våldet. Flera vittnen beskriver attacken mot de kristna demonstranterna som organiserad och anklagar armén för att ha beskyddat angriparna, snarare än deras måltavlor. I en artikel för Ahram Online driver Hala Shukrallah tesen att såväl angreppen mot demonstranter på Befrielsetorget på internationella kvinnodagen som det sekteristiska våldet är en del av kontrarevolutionens försök att sprida förvirring och rädsla: "The past few weeks have revealed just how deeply entrenched the security services are in the conspiracy to oppress and terrorise Christians in order to foster their support for the former dictator. We have heard in the past few days some groups of fundamentalists stating that they are against this revolution because there were women participating and that they are against democracy which is haram (forbidden). We now know that these groups have been working hand in hand with the security services; indeed, what would make them break that alliance now? What we are up against is a clearly mapped out plan of the counter-revolution which has taken as its main target the country’s Coptic Christians and any socially vulnerable group. The objective: create confusion, chaos and terrorise as many groups as possible in order to facilitate the return of the old regime in the coming elections."
