Rival demonstrators clash in their battle over Egypt's constitution
Rival demonstrators clash in their battle over Egypt's constitution
www.euronews.com Violent clashes between rival groups have raged through much of the night in central Cairo as the country's constitutional crisis continues to be fought on the streets. Four people were reported killed. Euronews reporter Mohammed Shaikhibrahim caught up with some of the protesters. One pro-President Mursi supporter asked : "If these people are civilians, where have they got these weapons and bullets from that they are using against us... there seems to be a third group hiding among us...where have they suddenly appeared from?" Moving through the streets our reporter tried to get closer to the front line to see at first hand what was going on. Riot police tried to separate the two sides but failed to halt the fighting. Along with those killed, a government spokeman said around 350 were injured as the clashes turned into running battles. "Islam does not allow for this!" complained an opposition protester. " They are following Islam in name only and using their members like sheep. Where is the army? They army says they are protecting the law, but in fact they are only protecting the Muslim brotherhood." Eventually Reporter Mohammed Shaikhibrahim reached the front line in between the pro-Mursi protesters and the opposition. He described the scene as stones were hurled on all sides along with Molotov cocktails. Obviously some people were armed as shots rang out.

BREAKING: Violence in Egypt - Mursi Opponents Clash with Police in Cairo
BREAKING: Violence in Egypt - Mursi Opponents Clash with Police in Cairo
Opponents of President Mohamed Mursi clashed with Cairo police on Tuesday as thousands of protesters stepped up pressure on the conservative president to scrap a decree they say threatens Egypt with a new era of autocracy. Police fired tear gas at stone-throwing youths in streets off the capital's Tahrir Square, heart of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak last year. Protesters also turned out in Alexandria, Suez, Minya and cities in the Nile Delta. A 52-year-old protester died after inhaling teargas in Cairo, the second death since last week's decree that expanded Mursi's powers and barred court challenges to his decisions. Tuesday's protest called by leftists, liberals and other groups deepened the worst crisis since the Muslim Brotherhood politician was elected in June, and exposed a divide between the newly empowered conservatives and their opponents. Some protesters have been camped out since Friday in the Tahrir, and violence has flared around the country, including in a town north of Cairo where a Muslim Brotherhood youth was killed in clashes on Sunday. Hundreds have been injured. Mursi's move provoked a rebellion by judges and battered confidence in an economy struggling after two years of turmoil. Opponents have accused Mursi of behaving like a modern-day pharaoh, a jibe long levelled at Mubarak. The United States, a benefactor to Egypt's military, has expressed concern about more turbulence in a country that has a peace treaty with Israel. Mursi's
