CAIRO — The military mobilized ground troops, light tanks and personnel carriers Sunday as protesters threatened to close Port Tawfiq on the Suez Canal.
The hundreds of protesters reacted to a speech late Saturday by Prime Minister Essam Sharaf, whose attempt to ease public anger created more trouble for the government of Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi and his Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
The protesters were turned back by striking shipyard workers.
