Egyptian democracy in peril


6072013
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is calling on Egypt’s security forces to protect demonstrators and prevent violent clashes.  Ban issued a statement on Friday after reports of deaths and injuries caused by clashes between supporters and opponents of ousted President Mohamed Morsi.  The UN chief urged the Egyptian people to work together to restore civilian control, constitutional order, and democratic governance.
Deposed President Morsi’s supporters, the Muslim Brotherhood, held rallies to protest the overthrow of the president on Friday, a day of prayer in Islam.Pro- and anti-Morsi groups in the northern city of Alexandria clashed, took toll of  twelve people .
Cairo Morsi supporters fought military troops near the Republican Guard barracks where the deposed president is believed to be held.  Media  reports at least 24 people died across the country.
Protests cntinued  in Egypt after the military removed Morsi from power on Wednesday.  Muslim Brotherhood officials say the military’s move disrespects the result of a democratically held election.
Interim president Adly Mansour, who was sworn in on Thursday, says he will dissolve the upper house of parliament. Muslim Brotherhood’s political party has the majority of the seats there.  Mansour says he will proceed with political transition based on a plan outlined by the military.  Supporters of Morsi said in a statement on Saturday that protests will continue until the president returns to power.
The Al-Ahram newspaper reported on Thursday what it calls the inside facts of the military coup.  The paper says military officers demanded Morsi resign and leave the country, hours before announcing the suspension of the constitution and other measures.  It says as Morsi rejected the demand, so the military detained the president and moved him from a facility of the presidential guards to another place.
