Violence Erupts In Egypt by martin123: 8:15pm On Jul 05, 2013
Violence erupted here Friday as supporters ofMohamed Morsy turned out en masse in cities around the country, calling for his restoration to the presidency two days after his ouster in a military coup.Five Morsy supporters were shot dead by the army in front of the headquarters of the Republican Guard headquarters, where the ousted president was reported to be detained, the Muslim Brotherhood's political wing -- the Freedom and Justice Party -- said Friday night.The health ministry reported that at least two people were killed and 65 injured in clashes there.The clashes occurred when Morsy supporters tried to storm the building, state broadcaster Nile TV said.Anti-Morsy protesters eye next movesCNN's Reza Sayah, reporting from outside the building, said he had seen one body around which scores of Morsy supporters were huddled, some of them crying.A few feet away, demonstrators faced off across a barbed-wire barricade behind which stood a line of soldiers who detonated flash grenades and fired tear gas in an apparent attempt to get the demonstrators to move away.Morsy supporters turn out en masseSupporters vow to return Morsy to palacePro-Morsy protesters hit with tear gasMuslim Brotherhood remains defiantMany of them did just that, though thousands of others remained in defiance. Demonstrators could be seen carrying away a wounded man. Some demonstrators waved flags and held pictures of Morsy and vowed not to leave until the military returns Morsy to office.But Nile TV, citing a security source, said live ammunition had not been used against demonstrators and no one was hurt or killed.The incidents occurred in the wake of Wednesday's move by the nation's powerful military to remove Morsy from power.Morsy had become the nation's first democratically elected president a year ago, but failed to fix the nation's ailing economy or improve its crime problems and was seen by many as increasingly autocratic.Human Rights Watch has said he had continued abusive practices established by the former dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak, who was pushed out in 2011 after three decades of iron rule supported by the U.S. government. Military courts continued trying civilians; police abuses were allowed."Numerous journalists, political activists, and others were prosecuted on charges of 'insulting' officials or institutions and 'spreading false information,'" the rights group said.Throngs of protesters filled Egyptian streets for days, calling for him to step down.The president's supporters turned out at massive counter demonstrations. At times, the two sides clashed with deadly consequences.On Monday, the army gave him 48 hours to agree to share power or be pushed aside.On Wednesday, the military rejected Morsy's conciliatory gestures as insufficient and announced its "road map" to stability and new elections.Morsy and a number of leaders of the Brotherhood were arrested and may face charges over the deaths of protesters during clashes with Morsy's supporters, many of whom also died.

It's expected. But it would be an illusion of monumental proportion to contemplate return of Morsi to power. The "government of national unity" ll organize elections.
