POLICE in the Egyptian city of Alexandria have fired tear gas at protesters, witnesses say, as nationwide rallies mark the second anniversary of the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak.
Clashes erupted in two neighbourhoods of Egypt's second city on Friday between police and protesters who burned tyres, sending plumes of dark smoke into the sky.
"The smoke is black, there is a lot of gas. There are people on the ground because they can't breathe," one of the protesters, only identified as Rasha, told AFP.
Clashes also broke out in the canal city of Suez after protesters tried to storm the governorate headquarters before being pushed back by police, who fired heavy tear gas, witnesses said.
Protesters hurled rocks at police and burnt tyres in the road.
In Cairo, army and police forces were deployed to protect the information ministry which also houses state television and radio, after protesters briefly blocked traffic outside the building, witnesses said.
Tens of thousands took to the streets across the country to protest against Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, who is accused of failing to work for the goals of the revolution that ousted Mubarak and consolidating power in the hands of his powerful Muslim Brotherhood.
