Security sources confirmed to Al-Masry Al-Youm on Thursday morning that the armed forces have started to withdraw from streets following the end of the state of emergency and the curfew.

The sources added police have been deployed in the vicinity of vital installations as well as check points on roads, replacing the armed forces.

The sources pointed out the armed forces would not withdraw completely from streets as some would remain outside embassies and certain facilities.
