Egyptian Political Groups Call For Tahrir Ramadan Breakfast

Several political groups have called on all Egyptians to join in an Ramadan iftar meal in Tahrir Square on Friday, to be followed by evening prayers and an art performance.

Political groups calling for the event include the Egyptian Popular Current, the Rebel campaign and the 30 June Front.

Muslims are required to fast from dawn until dusk. Iftar is the first meal of the day, taking place after sunset during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan which started on Wednesday 10 June.

Since the January 25 revolution, similar events and celebrations have been held in the iconic Tahrir Square including Ramadan iftars and New Year festivities.
