the capital, throwing rocks at each other as security forces fired tear gas and several rounds of bullets to
try to disperse them, witnesses said. The clashes which started a few days ago have turned violent and threat to turn into a civil war said one of the political analysts.
By yesterday the clash, had claimed four lives, one of the dead
was killed on the outskirts of Tahrir Square, a hot seat for anti-Morse demonstrators
throughout the protests and the three were killed in Qalyoub City. Though the source of bullets could not be claimed by either the military or the rioters, it is clear that all factions seem to be heavily armed.
Since the 1952 July 23 anniversary
was on. It created an avenue for Adly
Mansour, Egypt's interim president address the nation and re-iterate appeals
for reconciliation, without outlining solid terms for how that could be achieve.
"We want to turn a new page in the country’s book with no hatred, no
malice, no division," he said in a per-recorded speech that also
highlighted the importance of the army in Egypt's history.
As violence worsened, two people in Qalyoub had been killed by gunfire and the
third was hit by a train while fleeing the violence .since July 16 tremor, it
has been noted that 27 people have been injured 7 dead and three under critical
condition while 7 Morsi support's have also been arrested.
Daily protests
The violence started when several
hundred pro-Morsi protesters were marching towards the US Embassy to hold a
demonstration against alleged American meddling in Egypt's affairs, the
official said.
Since Morsi was deposed on July 3, The
Muslim Brotherhood has staged daily protests across the country demanding his
reinstatement. The violence was initially peaceful not until several hundred
pro-Morsi protesters marched towards the US Embassy to hold a demonstration
against alleged American meddling in Egypt's affairs, the official said. The
march passed an entrance to Tahrir Square manned by anti-Morsi protesters, and
the two sides pelted each other with rocks. Gunfire was heard, but it was not
clear who was firing.
Armored vehicles moved and blocked
the road, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was
not authorized to speak to the press
