Morsi supporters and opponents clash in Alexandria Egyptian police attempt to break up clashes between supporters and opponents of ejected President Mohamed Morsi in Alexandria
Clashes have erupted between supporters and opponents of deposed President Mohamed Morsi near the military base headquarters in Alexandria where hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters marched in response to Islamists calls for protest against Morsi's removal. Violence broke out on Friday afternoon after Morsi supporters were reportedly harassed by anti-Morsi passersby. Police intervened to form a buffer in attempt to disperse the crowds, according to Al-Ahram Arabic news website. Gunshots were heard during the clashes, with no casualties reported as of 6pm. Cairo has also seen deadly clashes outside of the recreational club of the officers of the Republican Guard in the district of Heliopolis where at least two Morsi backers have been killed on Friday. Thousands have taken part in support marches dubbed "Friday of rejection" in Cairo, northern cities of Alexandria, Beheira and the Upper Egyptian city of Minya following Friday prayers. The National Coalition to Support Legitimacy, Islamist coalition led by the Muslim Brotherhood from which Morsi hails, had called for "peaceful protests on Friday in all of Egypt's provinces to denounce the military coup against legitimacy and in support of the legitimacy of President Morsi." Morsi, who took office last June after winning Egypt's first post-Mubarak democratic elections, was forced out of office on Wednesday by military chief Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, in response to four days of nationwide mass protests against his government. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/75789.aspx
