R4BIA

Eman El-Shenawi - Al Arabiya

Forget your typical peace sign, two fingers are so last century.

A new victory sign has been flashed across Egypt to remember the Rabaa al-Adawiya protest camp, which was dispersed last week in a deadly military crackdown on demonstrators in support of former President Mohammed Mursi.

The “four-fingered salute,” as it has come to be known, is being publicized by bright yellow sign sposted on social networking websites by Egyptian masses wanting to remember Rabaa protesters who camped out for weeks in Cairo.

In Arabic “Rabaa” means “fourth,” and the hand gesture is being used to display solidarity with protesters.
