Egyptian police move in on Sudanese protest camp

Egyptian security troops fired water cannons at hundreds of Sudanese refugees early today and forced them to dismantle a protest camp where they had lived for three months, demanding resettlement outside of Egypt.

Sudanese men took apart tents and packed up their belongings from the camp, which was set up on the central reservation on a boulevard in an upmarket neighbourhood of Cairo. Women and children sat huddled on a nearby kerb.
