Egyptian Officials Prepare for More Protests

Pro-Morsi demonstrators not going anywhere

CAIRO — Egypt is bracing for a fresh round of protests Friday, prompting fears of new violence amid warnings from the interim government that it was taking legal measures to dismantle the protest camps.

A few thousand supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi chanted slogans in his favor at the Raba Adawiya protest camp in the north of Cairo. The searing August sun and fears the government was preparing to evacuate the camp apparently kept some supporters away.
