Death toll soars in Egypt protest crackdown

The official death toll in Egypt has reached 278, after security forces stormed protest sites in Cairo and clashed with supporters of deposed president Mohamed Morsi elsewhere in the country. A curfew was imposed in 14 provinces across the country on Wednesday, along with a month-long state of emergency. The death toll continued to rise throughout the day, with Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood saying the actual number of dead was much higher than the number reported by the Health Ministry.

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.

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.

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood continues to alienate itself from the people

As the brutal crackdown against peaceful protesters in Cairo and several other Egyptian cities continued unabated for six days running, the Muslim Brotherhood stayed out of the fray, declaring clearly that it would not join the protests. In deciding to stay away from these protests, the Brotherhood may have committed its gravest mistake to date. The footage showing a dead protester being dragged by a security officer and dumped near a rubbish heap, appearing on many satellite channels and the internet, has not only shocked and enraged Egyptians, but it has sent them out on to the streets in their thousands to protest against this outrage.

Just What Is The Muslim Brotherhood

While analysts ask who or what is behind the sustained protests in Egypt, one group is now seeking political legitimacy. Technically banned under Egypt's constitution that forbids religious based parties, the Muslim Brotherhood is now throwing its support behind Mohammed el Baradei as an opposition leader.
