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.

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.

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).
