Just in case you wonder what that sign means? Rabia is a hand gesture and a sign that first appeared in late August 2013 in social media and protest marches in Egypt. It is used by protesters, activists and politicians who oppose the recent coup détat in Egypt, which was led by then-General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi causing the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi. The sign is named after Rabia Square in Cairo, where a large anti-coup sit-in was held for about forty days before it was dispersed. The sign is meant to express solidarity with the thousands wounded, killed and burnt by the Egyptian army during the dispersal and persistence of anti-coup movement, whereas pro-coup activists, figures and media consider the sign to be a terrorist sign. The origin of the sign is unknown. The gesture is made by raising four fingers of any hand and folding the thumb. The stylized word R4BIA is sometimes interpreted as an acronym. Free Free Egypt...Long Live Egypt. يا كل أحرار الوجود رابعة إشارة للصمود رابعة وطن مالوش حدود رابعة الكرامة بإختصار رابعة ما تعرفش إنكسار لكل حر بقت شعار حلم الكرامة مهوش بعيد يا تعيش بطل يا تموت شهيد الحكاية مش الإخوان الحكاية شعب إتهان وعسكر خان
