Egypt razes former Mubarak HQ
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEgypt has began tearing down the headquarters of the once-dominant party of ex-president Hosni Mubarak, which was torched during the 2011 uprising that toppled him.
Demolition workers, using cranes and bulldozers, began razing the four-story headquarters of Mubarak’s National Democratic Party (NDP) located on the Nile in central Cairo.
An adjacent 14-story tower that once housed offices of state-run organizations is also being dismantled.
In early 2011, angry protesters demanding the ouster of Mubarak had ransacked and set fire to the NDP buildings — seen as symbols of his autocratic rule.
