Nobel peace laureate and Egyptian opposition politician Mohamed ElBaradei has arrived in Cairo as anti-government protests continue to spread.
A Bedouin protester was shot dead in the Sinai region on Thursday, bringing this week’s death toll to seven.
There were also protests in the cities of Cairo, Suez and Ismailiya.
The governing party says it is willing to listen to public grievances such as unemployment but has cracked down on protests, arresting up to 1,000 people.
