Raw Video: Ultras Ahlawy Chant Against Egypt's Military Rulers

June 18, 2012 from Operation Egypt

This undated video uploaded by activist group Operation Egypt shows the Ultras Ahlway -- hardcore fans of the al-Ahly football club in Cairo -- chanting "Oh Council of Bastards," a protest song aimed at Egypt's military rulers, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF). In February, 74 al-Ahly fans were killed following a match in Port Said, in an incident many claimed was retribution for the Ultras' support of the Egyptian revolution.
