Millions on streets for anti-Morsi protests
2013-07-01
[Al Ahram] 24:20 That's all for tonight. Today saw unprecedented numbers take to the streets all over Egypt, calling for Morsi to resign. It's hard to estimate numbers, but it's clear that 30 June has been bigger than anyone predicted.

There was deadly violence in Beni Suef and Assiut, and there are ongoing festivities at the Brotherhood headquarters in Cairo, as we close. There were also 30 reported cases of sexual harassment in Tahrir Square - although none reported at Ittihadiya or at the ongoing pro-Morsi demonstration at Rabaa Al-Adawiya.

24:15 There are reports of ongoing festivities at the Moslem Brüderbund's headquarters in Mokattam, Cairo, which was earlier attacked by protesters throwing Molotov cocktails. There seem to be festivities between those inside the building and those attacking it, with birdshot and possibly live ammunition. There are a number of injuries reported, but all unconfirmed so far by official sources.

#5  Much less a spring than an implosion. Egypt is corruption and incompetency written larger than Detroit. One big black hole sucking up anything near it without any viable constructive outcome (except in an alternate universe - found often among academics and their off springs in the bureaucracies of the world)

#2  Not to worry. Obama will send in the US military to prop up Morsi if necessary.

Not even Obama is that dumb.
