CAIRO — Supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi called Thursday for protest marches after a violent government crackdown triggered clashes across Egypt, leaving more than 500 people dead and the promise of a speedy transition to democracy in tatters.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which backs Morsi, urged followers to demonstrate late Thursday afternoon in Cairo’s Nasr City district not far from the Rabaa al-Adawiya Mosque, scene of some of the worst violence Wednesday. The Brotherhood issued the call in defiance of a state of emergency declared by the military-backed interim government, which took power following a July 3 coup that deposed the country’s first democratically elected president after a tumultuous year in office.
