This photograph was taken in front of the Mugamma on Saturday 26 November during the on-going occupation of Midan Tahrir.
Saturday November 19th is the day that the recent clashes in Midan Tahrir began after the Central Security Forces (CSF) used violence to evict peaceful protesters from the Midan.
Is this street art a reference to the film V for Vendetta (Remember, Remember the 5th of November)?
As the first round of parliamentary elections began today in Cairo (and 8 other governorates, including Alexandria and Luxor), the April 6th movement encouraged voters to wear black in remembrance of those who died in the recent clashes in Midan Tahrir.
Despite the long lines at many polling stations today, it only takes one stroll through Midan Tahrir to Remember the 19th of November.
