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.

Rival rallies as Egypt crisis continues

Tens of thousands of people have demonstrated in cities across Egypt, demanding the reinstatement of ousted President Mohamed Morsi, as his opponents also held similar demonstrations in the capital Cairo. The country's military, meanwhile, has warned that it may crack down violently on any future mass protests against the overthrow of the president that it carried out on July 3. A vast pro-Morsi crowd gathered at Cairo's Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque on Friday, where the former president's supporters have camped out since the military overthrew him.

Egypt faces more bloodshed as Muslim Brotherhood offices torched

The headquarters of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood have been burned and ransacked following an all-night siege one day after millions protested on Egypt's streets calling for President Mohamed Morsi's resignation. In an episode reminiscent of the sacking of Hosni Mubarak's political headquarters during Egypt's 2011 uprising, around 50 anti-Brotherhood protesters spent the night attacking the compound - situated on a rocky, isolated outcrop in east Cairo - with molotov cocktails, causing a series of small fires and explosions.
