Supporters
of Egypt's ousted president, Mohamed Morsi, wave pictures of the former
leader and their national flag during a demonstration in the northern
city of Alexandria on July 19, 2013.
Egypt is bracing for fresh protests
by supporters and opponents of ousted president, Mohamed Morsi, as
political turmoil rages on in the North African country, Press TV
reports.
Supporters of Morsi are planning to hold a mass demonstration in Cairo’s Nasr City while his opponents, who back Egypt’s interim government, intend to gather at Cairo’s iconic Liberation Square.
On Sunday, hundreds of female supporters of the toppled president marched to the Egyptian Defense Ministry in the capital to protest the killing of three women at a rally in the Nile Delta city of Mansura on Friday.
The protesters were confronted by soldiers who blocked their way to the ministry.
On the same day, the Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement giving their plans for ending the political crisis in Egypt. The group said the solution lies in Morsi's reinstatement.
The group also called for the military to “respect the will of the people,” by returning “constitutional legitimacy, with the constitution, the president and the parliament.”
The Muslim Brotherhood further stated that once Morsi returns to office, he would carry out “the reform initiative he committed to according to the constitution decided on by the people.”
The Egyptian army overthrew Morsi, suspended the constitution, and dissolved the parliament on July 3 and declared the chief justice of Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour, as interim president the following day.
Dozens of people have been since killed in the wave of violent clashes between supporters of Morsi, his opponents and security forces.
On July 5, Muslim Brotherhood supreme leader, Mohammed Badie, said the coup against Morsi was illegal and millions would remain on the street until he is reinstated.
