CAIRO Supporters of ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi clashed with rival protesters on Friday on a central Cairo bridge near Tahrir Square, continuing a bloody day of protests that left more than a dozen people dead amid uncertainty about the countrys political future.
A total of 17 people were reported dead in clashes across the country, according to Egypts Ministry of Health. Hundreds more were injured.
Thousands of pro-Morsi demonstrators marched on the October 6 Bridge over the Nile after a speech from Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie in which he demanded Morsis reinstatement.
After his arrest was ordered earlier this week, Badie appeared on stage at an Islamist rally in Cairo on Friday, saying that the group would not concede on Morsis reinstatement, otherwise it is our lives, Reuters reported.

(3,450 posts)My fear is that Egypt will slide into a civil war eventually if the intolerance of divergent religions and politics of the citizenry continues.

(5,739 posts)In Syria a tiny minority of Alawites have managed to hold off the rebellion of the majority sunni's because of a massive advantage in military equipment. If there was a civil war in Egypt it wouldn't even be close to fair, because the opposition can pull roughly equivalent numbers as the Islamists and they would have equipment vastly superior to the stuff the Syrian army has.
I think any type of Islamist uprising would end very poorly in Egypt.
