2013-07-02 |
[Al Ahram] Supporters and opponents of Egyptian Islamist President Mohamed Mursi exchanged gunfire in the city of Suez at the mouth of the Suez Canal on Monday, witnesses said. At least 16 people have been killed in festivities between rival protesters since Sunday, when millions of Egyptians flooded the streets to demand Mursi resign. "The sound of gunfire is everywhere. Supporters and opponents are going back and forth," said one witness, Karim el-Sayed, in Suez. |

#6 I don't think we're going to get a democratic republic out of the Egyptians but something that is a lot less Islamicist would be good enough for now. Well, there was a guy named Hosni Mubarek who fit that description... |

#4 Um, no. The opposition in Egypt may not be the Tea Party but large parts of them are preferable to the Brøderbünd. I don't think we're going to get a democratic republic out of the Egyptians but something that is a lot less Islamicist would be good enough for now. |
