Embassy in Cairo closes after nine days of protests against the Netherlands

The Dutch embassy in Cairo has temporarily closed after nine consecutive days of protests against the Netherlands. Demonstrators are protesting the arrest of Ahmed Nasser, deputy head of the 'Union of Egyptian Youth Abroad', who was detained by Dutch police. The protests appear to be organized, with protesters being bused to the embassy. Following Nasser's arrest, Egypt's Foreign Minister requested his release in a call with his Dutch counterpart, but protests continued. Nasser's arrest is linked to threats against activist Anas Habib, who previously protested against the Egyptian embassy in The Hague. The embassy remains closed for safety reasons, but is available for emergency consular assistance.
