Protesters from different opposition parties and revolution groups shouted slogans to express their outrage about the Qatari government and the Zionist regime’s meddling in Egypt's internal affairs calling the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, an element of the US.

They objected receiving financial aids from Qatar because of Sheikh Khalifa Al Thani's close ties with the US and the Zionist regime which they feared would have undesired consequences for Egypt.

On April 10, Qatari prime minister Hamad Bin Jassim revealed that Qatar would extend $3 billion to Egypt in the coming days in the form of either Egyptian treasury bonds or Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) deposits. However, CBE governor Hisham Ramiz said on Sunday that Egypt has not yet received the Qatari deposit for buying bonds.

The protest was later joined by a few Sudanese who voiced their opposition to the Qatari emir’s interference in Sudan's internal affairs.
