Egypt's Brotherhood announces 'day of anger'
Published in Arab News Agency on 16 - 08 - 2013

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has asked supporters of Mohamed Morsi, the deposed president, to take part in a nationwide "millions' march of anger" in protest against the recent violent clearing of protest sites by security forces.
The announcement came a day after hundreds of people were killed in the police action that ended two sit-ins in Cairo that began after the army toppled Morsi on July 3.
"Anti-coup rallies tomorrow will depart from all mosques of Cairo and head towards Ramsis square after Jumaa prayer in 'Friday of Anger'," Gehad el-Haddad, Muslim Brotherhood spokesman, said on Twitter.
In a separate statement on Friday, the Muslim Brotherhood said: "Despite the pain and sorrow over the loss of our martyrs, the latest coup makers' crime has increased our determination to end them."
Egypt's army commanders are warning troops will fire at anyone who attacks government buildings.
The Health Ministry said that at least 578 people were killed in the clearing and subsequent clashes nationwide on Wednesday, and more than 3,500 injured.
Muslim Brotherhood members have said the true death toll was far higher, with a spokesperson saying 2,600 people had been killed in the "massacre".
The group accuses the military of staging a coup when it toppled Morsi. Liberal and youth activists who backed the military see the move as a positive response to public demands.
Egypt spent its first day under emergency rule and curfew on Thursday, with Cairo remaining tense and bracing for further unrest.
Although the night-time curfew ended at 6am local time on Thursday morning, few dared to venture out.
'No more violence'
Police were out and busy removing the debris from the camps at Rabaa Square and Nahda Squares, where thousands of pro-Morsi supporters were driven out and hundreds killed in Wednesday's crackdown.
Morsi supporters remain defiant while rallies supporting the Brotherhood continued on Thursday. The Interior Ministry said the headquarters of the Giza governorate was stormed and set on fire by Morsi supporters.
They also gathered at Al Amin Mosque, two streets away from Rabaa Square, to mourn those lost on Wednesday and to pledge revenge.
On the other side of town, police mourned their colleagues killed during the same clashes.
