After two days of violent clashes between Anti-Morsi protesters and Muslim Brotherhood members, hundreds of thousands of Egyptians in all cities protested against Morsi’s continued dictatorial rule. In his speech last night, Morsi stated that those on the streets are the “minority” and that they must respect the “majority…because that is democracy.” He also stated that the “minority” were violent on Tuesday – the ‘Final Warning’ Protest which attracted millions of peaceful protesters across the country and very few reports of injuries.
Tonight, Egyptians once again proved that Morsi and his party continue to lie. Tonight, I stood by women, children, seniors, and even the Presidential Guard to protest against the continued injustice against the Egyptian people. I did not witness one incident of violence – and reports of injuries have so far been due to congestion, dehydration, or accidents (such as a man I saw who fell off the shoulders of another Egyptian while chanting against Morsi).
Upon my arrival at approximately 4.p.m. I noticed six Interior Ministry Trucks parked along one of the side streets. However, throughout the early hours of the protest, there was no presence of the Interior Ministry – only the Presidential Guard was blocking the way to the palace.
