Muslim Brotherhood calls for protests outside presidential palace in Egypt
Cairo :: Egypt | updated 36 minutes ago | disasters-news
In response to what it calls "oppressive abuses" by opposition parties against Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has called on Morsi supporters to gather outside the presidential palace (Kasr al-Ittihadiya) in the northern Cairo district of Heliopolis...
On Tuesday night, Egyptians took their protests against Morsi to the gates of his palace, demanding his ouster in scenes not witnessed even during demonstrations that toppled Hosni Mubarak.
Protesters dubbed the latest demonstration outside the palace as "The Last Warning," and opposition parties have threatened to begin a program of civil disobedience if the government continues to ignore their concerns.
Meanwhile, Morsi was forced to flee his residence after violent clashes broke out between demonstrators and police; 18 people were injured.
"Morsi left the al-Ittihadiya palace and headed home," a security source said. He added that the decision was made to calm down the protesters, Nile TV said, citing security sources.
On Wednesday morning, riots and chaos broke out shortly after Morsi returned to the palace. Hundreds of protesters have surrounded the area. Police fired tear gas at those gathered at the palace this morning, while protesters chanted for the downfall of the regime and cut through the barbed wire surrounding the building.
Later in the day, MENA news reported that Morsi's supporters have chased anti-Morsi protesters from their tents near the presidential palace.
However, protests against Morsi's decisions also erupted in Alexandria and the central province of Sohag.
It is worth mentioning, despite boycott calls by the head of the Judges Club, Ahmed al-Zind, who said judges supervising the referendum would never be forgiven, the Supreme Judicial Council said it would ensure judicial supervision of the referendum.
