Scores dead in Egypt’s ‘day of rage’ clashes

Scores of people have been killed in Egypt after security forces opened fire on anti-coup protesters staging a "day of rage" against the military-led government. In the worst of the violence on Friday, at least 95 people were killed and hundreds injured in Cairo's Ramses Square as anti-coup protesters were fired on by government forces. A correspondent for Al Jazeera described lines of bodies in a makeshift morgue in the nearby Al-Fath mosque.

Morsi vs the military What’s next for Egypt

With every day that passes, the stalemate between supporters of deposed president Mohamed Morsi and the military-backed interim government grows more intense. What's clear is that the sit-ins staged by the pro-Morsi camp - organised predominately by the Muslim Brotherhood - cannot go on indefinitely, as the largest, in Nasr City, has laid siege to the area. It's also clear that the government is unable to simply order the voluntary evacuation of these sit-ins, as participants' desire to stay remains strong.

Morsi Defies Egypt Army’s Ultimatum to Bend to Protest

Brushing aside a military ultimatum and his deepening isolation, President Mohamed Morsi of Egypt declared on Tuesday that he was the legitimate leader of the country and blamed the spiraling and violent national crisis on what he repeatedly called the corrupt "remnants of the former regime" overthrown in the 2011 revolution.

Egypt’s army to step in if anti-Morsi rallies become violent

Egypt's army has cautioned that it will intervene next weekend if mass rallies against the president descend into violence, in one of its strongest warnings since it handed over to civilian government a year ago. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the defence minister, said he would not allow "attack on the will of the people" and called for political reconciliation in the week before mass rallies against President Mohamed Morsi next Sunday.

Egyptians march to honour ‘Friday of Rage’

Tens of thousands of protesters have rallied across the Egyptian capital, Cairo, to mark the first anniversary of the "Friday of Rage", a key day in the uprising that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak last year. Demonstrators began to converge in the capital's Tahrir Square, the focal point of protests, after Muslim noon prayers, on a day dubbed the "Friday of Pride and Dignity" by the dozens of pro-democracy groups organising the rallies. "Down with military rule!", shouted demonstrators, who waved flags and banners and chanted slogans against the ruling Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF).

The military’s revenge

Egyptian military and police have lashed out at young protesters over the past several days with vengeance. The clashes began on Friday in front of the Ministry Building, which is visible from Tahrir Square. Protesters have been camped in front of the building since the Tahrir protests of November, which left dozens dead and ended with what many of the protesters saw as the unsatisfactory appointment of Kamal Ganzouri as Prime Minister, not only because Ganzouri - who was already Prime Minister from 1996 to1999 - is associated with the Mubarak regime, but also because the Ministry still has no real powers and is in essence, a puppet government for the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF).
