Scattered protests mark 100 days of Morsi's ouster, one killed

Protesters across Egypt march under banner '100 days after the coup'; limited clashes leave one dead in Cairo

Several protests took to the streets on Friday marking 100 days since former president Mohamed Morsi's ouster. While demonstrations were relatively limited, violence erupted in several parts of Egypt, leaving at least one confirmed dead.
Under the banner "100 days after the coup," thousands launched marches in Cairo, Giza and Alexandria, as well as in the Egyptian governorates of Qalyubia, north of Cairo, and Upper Egypt's Minya.
In Cairo, 19-year-old Belal Ali Gaber was killed after security forces shot at demonstrators attempting to reach Nasr City's Rabaa Al-Adawiya, the site of a pro-Morsi sit-in that was violently dispersed in August, leaving hundreds dead.
One protestor died after entering a diabetic coma while demonstrating in Sharqiya, and another seven protesters were injured in Damietta, the health ministry announced in a statement.
Clashes were also reported in the coastal governorates of Alexandria and Kafr El-Sheikh. At least fifteen protesters were reportedly arrested across the governorates.
Protesters had initially planned to march towards the iconic Tahrir Square. However, the plan was later called off to avoid a repeat of Sunday's violence.
On Sunday, Morsi supporters clashed with opponents and security forces while attempting to reach Tahrir Square, where thousands were celebrating the anniversary of Egypt's 1973 war with Israel. At least 57 people were killed.
Late on Thursday, the National Alliance to Support Legitimacy – a pro-Morsi coalition backed by the Muslim Brotherhood – released a statement cancelling calls for Friday protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square in order to "avoid bloodshed."
Before Friday's protests, security forces blocked the entrances to Tahrir Square and Rabaa Al-Adawiya in an attempt to prevent renewed sit-ins.
After one year in office, former president Morsi was removed on 3 July following nationwide protests against his rule. His ouster was part of a transitional roadmap agreed upon by several leading forces, including Egypt's highest Sunni authority Al-Azhar and the Coptic Church.
Following Morsi's ouster, the National Alliance to Support Legitimacy has staged numerous protests across the country against what they call a military 'coup.' Clashes with security forces and opponents as a result of these protests have erupted on many occasions.
