All rights reserved.Hussein Taha and Mohamed Makwa: names of the first members of the Ultras to become revolutionary martyrs, and the first to die for a political purpose. They passed away on 28 January 2011, on the 'Friday of Rage', a turning point of the Egyptian uprising.
Their death was not simply a tragedy, it was also a spark that kindled unity in their fragmented brotherhood – a single unwavering reason for Ultras to join the revolution in full force.
They had lost two of their own.
