Protests in Egypt Dying Down
Amid crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood
Muslim Brotherhood supporters are protesting Friday for the first time in days, despite reports that recent violence and the military crackdown on the leadership has crippled the organization. But the mass protests they called for have, so far, failed to materialize.
Protesters looked grim as they marched, shortly after Friday prayers. The men chanted "Get out Sissi!" referring to General Abdul Fatah al-Sissi, the army chief who is now essentially in charge of the government.
