Several people protested May 18 in front of the Consulate General of the Arab Republic of Egypt-Los Angeles, at 4929 Wilshire Blvd., to call attention to the Egyptian military’s ousting of Egypt’s first fairly elected president Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013. The demonstration took place several days before Egypt’s controversial presidential election, which resulted in the election of former army field marshal Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Today, the protestors are gone but a billboard protesting the Egyptian government remains standing across the street from the Wilshire Boulevard Consulate.
