Morsi Postpones France Visit as Clashes Continue
2013-01-30
[An Nahar] Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has postponed an official visit to France this week, the French presidency said Tuesday, as days of deadly clashes brought his rule to the brink of collapse.

Morsi had been due to meet French President Francois Hollande on Friday to discuss France's military intervention in Mali, which he has criticized.
Was he going to make a side-trip to Geneva to check on his Krugerrands?
The Egyptian opposition has pledged mass protests on Friday after violence sweeping the country left at least 52 dead in five days.

Morsi's office said earlier Tuesday that his scheduled two-day trip to Germany starting on Wednesday was still on.
