November 1968 CE

This reorganization proves unsatisfactory to those Egyptians who had hoped for an expansion of freedom and democracy.

Thus, in November, demonstrations break out again with cries of "Nasser resign" reported.

Several demonstrators are killed or wounded in clashes with the police.

Universities and secondary schools are again closed.

The demonstrators are expressing popular frustration over the failure of the government to implement the program approved by the referendum.

Nasser apparently is unwilling or unable to widen popular participation in the government.
