Draft of Egyptian Constitution Passes
Protesters still on the streets in Cairo
Cairo (CNN) -- As the sun rose over Cairo on Friday, an assembly charged with crafting Egypt's new constitution gave its final approval after 21 hours of haggling and the passage of all 234 articles.
The draft will be printed later in the day and presented to President Mohamed Morsy on Saturday, said Houssam al-Ghiryani, who heads the assembly.
But that doesn't mean Egypt's crisis is over.
