Unidentified gunmen have attacked protesters at Cairo rallies for the past two days, leaving at least 11 people killed and a large number of others wounded. The protesters, supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi, have promised to continue their demonstrations until he is released and the military junta steps down.
Clashes have been frequent in Egypt, as protesters against the coup have regularly found themselves having down groups of junta supporters. The last two days have seen that violence step up from fist-fights to shootings, with reports of snipers on the rooftops targeting the crowds.
Since the July 3 coup, over 100 people have been killed during demonstrations, with the bulk of them killed in a July 8 military attack on a sit-in near Republican Guard headquarters, which killed 55. The military insisted they killed the protesters in “self-defense” and have vowed to charge protest leaders with “incitement.”
All of this is part of a trend back to the authoritarian days in Egypt, with the military brooking no dissent and Al-Jazeera, the popular regional news broadcaster, accusing the new junta of a campaign of intimidation against its staff for being perceived as too friendly to the Morsi government.
Good luck Mr. President for your idea in Islamization of the Egyptian people Saudi styles, good luck for your idea in military coup or as the say, the revolution is continues, in Egypt.
Muhammad Morsi was ousted because he wanted for Arab nation to invade Syria and for him to become the new power in Middle East taking over from America and Saudis idea in militarizing the entire Middle East, and WH didn't like the idea nor the Saudis or UAE.
People of Egypt and Syrian people have learned their lessons from Libya, they didn't sacrifice their life for either a military coup or a Islamic Egypt under the shariah law, they want and wanted a functioning democracy where people will have the rights not bunch of mullahs or generals, yes indeed the Egyptian people's revolution continues.
You are among the few who understand what transpired. Morsi was not ruthless, and allowed the Saudi-financed Nur party and their affiliated hundreds of networks of Salafist to blackmail him. Behind Saudi Salafists is US, and the coup shows all the hallmarks of the style. The elected people go to jail, not even family can see them, their property just taken from them, their peacefull protests and sit ins — randomly strifed by machine guns killing even babies. NO PROTESTING NOW FROM THE REFINED US/UK/EU SUPERIOR BEINGS. Their man is now calling protesters "terrorists', as he intends to govern through terror. The question is, will the military support him. This coup is an act of desparation on behalf of imperial minders. It can prove to be a big mistake.
